Regarding Projects under Construction, the following are worth mentioning: Transpacific Mining Group, S.A. de C.V., installing iron extraction process equipment in sand dunes, in south San Quintin.
Photo from the first New Year´s trip to the abandoned iron ore mines. The mining ended here in 2008.

This instrument was by Messrs. T. Cooke & Sons Ltd. of York. (later to be Cooke, Trougton & Simms)
Constructed of gunmetal castings. (main telescope magnification x20)
The auxilliary telescope was for observing steeply inclined sights. (magnification x14)
Another design open to damage under mining conditions - but wish I had it on my desk! - an excellent collector's piece.
Located on the west side of Coal River Mountain, 5 miles away from Cherry Pond Mountain, this sludge impoundment is built to hold 8 billion tons of coal sludge, a by-product of washing coal.

A winding engine is a stationary engine used to control a cable, for example to power a mining hoist at a pit head. Electric hoist controllers have replaced proper winding engines in modern mining, but use electric motors that are also traditionally referred to as winding engines.

The first powered winding engines were stationary steam engines. The demand for winding engines was one factor that drove James Watt to develop his rotative beam engine, with its ability to continuously turn a winding drum, rather than the early reciprocating beam engines that were only useful for working pumps.
They differ from most other stationary steam engines in that, like a steam locomotive, they need to be able to stop frequently and also reverse. This requires more complex valve gear and other controls than are needed on engines used in mills or to drive pumps.

Very very unique. Some sort of crushing or smelting structure for mining. Right outside of Natural Bridge on Lime Street/Old State Road.
Possibly built by the old 'Chemical Carbola Company'? Need more info on this structure.

Mining companies should continuously monitor and respond to the concerns of major groups and changes in the national or local situation.
Gresham, Colorado was the original post office for points west, Riverside, Raymond, Ferncliff, Allenspark and points north. The area post office apparently had gummint funds to hang lath and have a nicely plastered interior, one of the few we've seen. The post office was almost certainly decommissioned after the new road was finished up the South St.Vrain from Lyons but a later logging operation returned it to use and probably sustained some men through the depression. The log post office was papered in depression era (1933) newspaper, predominantly the Denver Post mining sections.
We sought to save the remaining wallpaper with the digital camera. We set out for Gresham on a toasty day in December; my sandals were probably not the best footwear for the trek as we found snow on the flats around the old mining camp. There, hands have been at work pilfering souvenirs and broke into the other log cabin. There was also more newspapering lost in the last couple of years. Such is the mindset of some idiots who are not willing to share with the next folks. We only took photographs.

Male Clarke's Mining Bee (Andrena clarkella). Not a brilliant shot as it's difficult to get at them, as described on the photo of the female.
ILO FUNDAMENTALS Head of Solutions and Innovations Unit Francesco D'Ovidio share the ways forward at the Inter-Regional Knowledge Sharing on Child Labour and Working Conditions in the Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining (ASGM) held in Manila, Philippines from 28 to 30 May 2019. The 3-day forum provided a venue to exchange knowledge, technologies, practices and challenges to put forward concrete solutions to address child labour and poor working conditions in the ASGM sector.

In February 2000, an upstream tailings dams at the Baia Mare gold mine in Maramures County, Romania failed. The failure is thought to have been caused by a combination of poor design, unforeseen operating conditions and heavy rain and snow, which resulted in overtopping (BMTF 2000).
Two months later, this failure was followed by another upstream dam failure at the nearby Borsa lead and zinc mine, which also occurred as a result of overtopping. These two incidents released more than 200 000 cubic metres of contaminated water and 40 000 tonnes of tailings into tributaries of the Tisza River, a major tributary of the Danube (WWF 2000).
The Baia Mare spill was the most damaging of the two failures, releasing 50 to 100 tonnes of cyanide, as well as copper and other heavy metals, making it the worst environmental disaster in Europe since Chernobyl. Over a four-week period the combined spills travelled through Romania into Hungary, Serbia and Bulgaria, and finally entered the Black Sea. The spill traversed a number of ecologically sensitive and highly populated areas, with significant transboundary implications. Acute effects of the cyanide were observed along the river system to the point where the Tisza River meets the Danube. The Baia Mare failure created a 30- to 40-kilometre-long wave of contaminants that wiped out the flora and the fauna of the central Tisza River. Plankton were killed instantly by the plume; fish were killed in the plume or died soon after. In the Hungarian section of the river, the impact was especially severe – it is estimated that 1 240 tonnes of fish were killed (UNEP/OCHA 2000).
An international task force, chaired by the European Commission, was created to assess the damage and propose remedial actions (EU 2000). The task force insisted on the necessity of providing adequate emergency-storage facilities and recommended that new tailings storage facilities should not be allowed to store water or slurry containing cyanide in tailings ponds open to the elements (Lucas 2001).

Local residents want mining companies to guarantee that they will conduct remediation when a mine is closed.
Local populations provide food, human resources and support for mining operations in exchange for mining company sponsorship of social projects, support for local investments, compensation for damages and payment of local and national taxes.

Unscrupulous mining companies deal only with authorities and ignore the local population as potential partners.
