Stawell.
Like nearby Ararat Stawell began with a pastoral era (Concongella Station) and then things changed when a little gold was discovered in a creek at Stawell, Pleasant Creek. That was in 1853. More reef gold was discovered nearby in 1856 followed by a large alluvial find in 1857. This was the Illawarra and Deep Lead finds which started a major gold rush to the district. Consequentially the town of Stawell (named after the Chief Justice of Victoria) was proclaimed in 1858 around the original Pleasant Creek find of 1853 whilst commercial activity continued at the new Camp area on the hill. The good gold finds petered out in 1869 but some mining continued for many years. Like other mining centres lawlessness was a problem and so one of the first buildings erected in the new government town was a Courthouse and gaol in 1860. (This was replaced by a grander Courthouse erected in 1880 and it still stands.) As always other early buildings were the hotels to assuage the thirst of the miners. Other important public buildings in the old Adelaide Road area of Stawell are the Shire Offices built in 1866 and 1873; the old Courthouse mentioned above; the Police Residence built in 1869; and the two storey Institute erected in 1868. Uptown on the hill is the current town centre with most other major historic structures. They include: the railway station and stationmaster’s residence 1876; the old cricket grounds of the 1860s which is now the location of the Easter Stawell Gift Race and the Hall of Fame; the memorial gates to the oval were installed in 1903; the purpose built Memorial to Australian Federation erected in 1903; Oban House built in the Federation Era in red brick in 1898 – now the Returned Services League; St. Matthews Uniting Church 1869 (built at Presbyterian); St. Peter’s Lutheran 1874 ( built as Congregational); the Powder Magazine built in 1875; the impressive Post Office built in 1875; the Town hall opened in 1873- make sure you see the clock and tower with the animated miners who were added in 1969; and the Town Hall Hotel built in 1874.

Tin ore sacks in Walikale. “Miners are not unemployed,” claimed a local minerals dealers. We went to several mines to verify this statement, and found that minerals were indeed being traded, albeit at lower prices because they were not yet traced and audited. Njingala, North Kivu.

The general acceptance of an environmental impact assessment is a good start, but mining companies also need an acceptable social impact assessment: for continuing success, a company needs a social licence to mine.
GHH mining machine underground shovel, when they were introduced in the Monteponi mine, helped to make the work lighter and faster. He wouldn't mind seeing it displayed in a protected area and not exposed to the elements. A machine created to work indoors that ends its "career" outdoors. The most interesting part are the reinforcements made by hand welding along the entire profile of the blade of the shovel. Although not a certainly functional artistic work; this is proof of the mastery and skills that the staff had acquired in working in a mine like this.
Pala da sottosuolo GHH mining machine, quando vennero introdotte nella miniera di Monteponi aiutarono a rendere il lavoro più leggero e veloce. Non sabbe male vederla esposta in una zona protetta e non esposta alle intemperie. Una macchina che nasce per lavorare al chiuso che finisce al sua "carriera" all'aria aperta. La parte più interessante sono i rinforzi realizzati con saldatura a mano lungo tutto il profilo della lama della pala. Seppure non un lavoro artistico sicuramente funzionale; questo a riprova della maestria e delle competenze che il personale aveva acquisito nel lavorare in una miniera come questa.

Three mining barges are busily cutting up ice asteroid, while a destroyer class ship (a gallentean Catalyst) is standing guard against NPC pirate ships which pop up once in a while in this asteroid belt.
Ice refining products are used in operating POS, Player Owned Structures/Starbases, and to move Capital class ships equipped with jump drive, such as dreadnoughts, carriers, motherships and titans. At the time of that screenshot, though, no capital ships were available in game yet.

This area was a high mining area and while I was taking photo's of this ladder I spotted this area all fenced off - it would be easy to get to it any way for the it's location.

Nickel has been mined in New Caledonia since 1864, the longest history of mining in the Pacific islands. In varying concentration, nickel layers cover about one third of the area of Grande Terre.

Looking from the lookout at Fort Bourke Hill which stands to the east of the Cobar Township and rising to 300 metres above sea level, it affords the visitor a wonderful vista of the Cobar landscape. You can see the open pit and entrance to the underground mine of Peak Gold Mines from a well constructed viewing platform.

This barometer was used by a mine surveyor. Within the case is a simple glass tube, containing mercury, inverted into a pot of the same metal. The latter is separated from the atmosphere by a membrane. The difference in pressure from a known datum point, e.g., the top of a pit shaft, and an underground site can readily be converted to depth.
This common mercury barometer is mounted in a polished wood case, exposing only the upper portion of the tube in a window, where a reading might be taken from the scale and vernier. A thermometer is mounted within the window as temperature variations affect the calculation required. This instrument was made by J WHITE of GLASGOW.
Nineteenth century legislation enforced the production of accurately surveyed plans of underground working in Britain's collieries. The acts were prompted by safety and planning concerns and the surveyor became a key figure in colliery workforces.
