A view of Iron Ore mining in Kudremukh National Park of Karnataka state, in south-western India's Western Ghats.
You can see the hill tops exposed to elements, devoid of vegetation and grass cover. Below flows the Bhadra River.
The mining activity in the Park has STOPPED, due to the help sought by Karnataka's wildlife activists with India's judicial system.
GEAR: Nikon FM10 SLR, Nikkor 35 - 70mm lens, 35 mm Slide film
SCANNER: Scanned CanoScan U1250 flat bed scanner.
ABOUT WESTERN GHATS:
Western Ghats, or Sahayadris as they are known in many Indian languages, are a 1600 km long chain of mountains that run parallel to the Arabian Sea in peninsular India. They give birth to almost all the major rivers of south India. These rivers provide drinking and irrigation water for more than 250 million people. The 'Ghats' are one of earth's designated 25 Bio-diversity 'Hot Spots'. They are home to some of earth's rarest flora and fauna and most spectacular landscapes.

Golden Eagle Mining Limited (GEE) is a highly motivated mineral exploration and development company focused on generating quality gold assets within proven gold producing districts. GEE has strategically expanded its highly prospective ground position, now totalling 62 prospecting, exploration licenses and mining tenements covering a staggering 460 square kilometres within a 60 kilometre radius of Kalgoorlie, one of the world’s most prolific gold districts.
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
Sometimes mining companies prefer to buy the support of local officials or influential groups, but this approach alienates local populations.
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!
Timeline illustrating major initiatives to improve mine waste management and reported tailings dam failures (data from Chambers 2015 and WISE 2017)
Numerous well-conceived initiatives have, over the past decades, made recommendations to improve mine waste management.. Examples include the Mining, Minerals and Sustainable Development Project (MMSD 2002 and Buxton 2012), the World Bank Extractive Industries Review (Salim 2003) and the 2001 ICOLD report. Franks et al. (2011) developed a set of sustainable development principles for the disposal of mining and mineral processing waste. Most recently, the ICMM produced a specific tailings-focused report (Golder and Associates 2016) and a position statement on preventing the catastrophic failure of tailings storage facilities (ICMM 2016). National industry bodies, such as the Mining Association of Canada, also produce guidance on tailings management, which their members are required to follow (MAC 2011). However, despite all these guiding principles and recommendations, major failures are still occurring and are predicted to continue (Bowker and Chambers 2015).

This is what goes under the only bridge on the island. The phosphate is mined on the interior (Top Side) and is brought down by train to this area (there are many large rusting buildings behind these structures pictured above) where the material is crushed, screened, roasted and stored. A calcination plant removes all carbon and most cadmium (a polutant which also has made the fish in the Buada lagoon uneatable) from the phosphate.
'Instructions for use of Mason's Wet Bulb Thermometer' (Form 23) (Coal Mining).
Miners can be exposed to extremely high temperatures which may lead to illness or impairment. The Wet Bulb temperature is measured using a thermometer, the mercury bulb of which is surrounded by a wetted gauze. The effect of the gauze is to saturate the atmosphere locally by evaporation, so the WB temperature is reduced in proportion to the dryness of the air.

Fifty-Year-Old Vehicles Displayed in Jerome
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.
