Three Tawny Mining Bees were setting up home in the garden last night. Two were digging holes and the third was flying round, checking us out and then landing, sometimes doing a little bee dance. By the time it was too dark to watch anymore one bee had worked really hard and dug a good size hole, the second had excavated several little shallow holes and the third was still on lookout. Unfortunately all this activity started when it was already quite dull in the garden.

Timuay Fernando Mudai of the Pigsalabukan Bangsa Subanon (PBS), expresses his disgust before his fellow Mindanaoan Lumads over the desecration of Mt. Canatuan in Siocon, Zamboanga del Norte, where in a Canadian-backed TVI Resource Development Inc. is currently mining for gold and copper. Mt. Canatuan is a sacred mountain of the Subanons. Over 100 Mindanao lumads are currently in Camp Alano, Toril, Davao City for the State of the Indigenous Peoples Address (SIPA). SIPA, which will end tomorrow, July 31, is a gathering of Mindanao lumads to expose the real state of IPs in Mindanao
Female mining bee, Andrena sp., on a flower at Virginia Dale Rest Area on Hwy 287 in Larimer County, Colorado near the Wyoming border. June 7, 2018.
I believe this is the McAllester mine that sit above Central City here below - spent some time looks for info on this place but beside the geology stuff I couldn't find what I wanted but I do know that the tailings flows down to Central City.
I found this little male bee in our Staffordshire garden yesterday. I assume it's an Andrena mining bee. It's not a species I remember seeing before.
It's a small bee; not much larger than a female Andrena bicolor. He was interested in a hole in our loose, sandy soil; perhaps waiting for a female to emerge. I'll have to keep an eye on the location!
Long wall coal mining under the Waratah Rivulet, that feeds Sydney's water supply, has cracked the river. Peabody coal company is trying to glue the cracks together again with an epoxy substance.

May 13, 2026: New Mexico Museum of Mining in Grant, New Mexico. Constructed in 1990, this museum covers the Cold War era gold rush-style uranium mining craze. Since tours of real uranium mines might pose a radiation hazard, this museum features a simulated underground uranium mine in its basement.
More work from a busy start to the year, another Genius & Me infographic feature, Enabling Mining Operations, for one of the largest Engineering consultancies in the world. Can't tell you how much we enjoy working up this type of concept. Next please! ...

Why Were Locomotives and Ore Car Left in Mine Tunnel Since 1908?
Two electric locomotives and one ore car were put display on recently were put on Main Street. The locomotives, "motors" to the miners, and the ore car are 36-inch gauge, the same size track used by the narrow gauge railroad that traveled between Jerome Junction and Jerome beginning in 1984 The motors and cars were uncovered recently when the Big Hole Mining Co. opened a southwest drift in the course of its open-pit operation.
Many questions bounce about and come up unanswered. Why weren't the motors and cars were they left scrapped when the smelter was dismantled? Why in the underground workings? Were they cut off in a mine shaft cave-in? Were they forgotten for almost 50 years? [photographers note: this is extremely common, most cumbersome equipment was abandoned underground after mine closure. It was often assembled underground and getting it out was not worth the trouble or scrap value.]
The motors are not completely a puzzle, however. One motor was between 1905 and 1908. Using the factory motor for a sample, the second motor bought was built at the mine.

Dr. Joe Douglas examines large scale, prehistoric gypsum mining by Native Americas nearly 2000 years old. The mining extended nearly to the ceiling in this cave passage.

Anglesey Mining appears to be mainly involved in iron ore mining in Canada, however the company also owns the mine at Parys Mountain on Anglesey where perhaps one day exploration for copper ore will recommence. For the time being the headgear stands without ropes.
The western margin of the Shan Plateau in eastern Myanmar is rich in gemstones such as rubies and sapphires, as well as gold, tin and lead. Working conditions in Myanmar mines can be poor - often workersā health, safety and human rights are low priorities.
There is little to no protection against falling rocks, gases in the subsurface, the pervasive dust, >35Ā°C temperatures or malaria. Tools are rudimentary and most rock is broken, sorted and transported by hand. Wages for mine workers (in 2014) were typically from 5000 Kyat (about $5) per month to 1000 Kyat (about $1) per day.
