Old Hundred Mine near Silverton CO. The mucker is essentially a rail-mounted bulldozer that flips a shovelful of ore over and back like a garbage truck. Fisheye perspective, sepia-tone image.

Western Potash Corp. (TSX: WPX) has conducted exploration drilling at its Milestone Potash Property immediately adjacent to potash permits help by BHP Billiton, Vale and Potash One. The three permits are located approximately 30 km southeast of Regina and to the southeast of the Mosaic Belle Plaine KL-106-R mining lease, which hosts one of the largest producing potash solution mines in the world.

Here's one of my mining cars minus a few parts and with some reddish-brown mixed in. I have a string of 8 of these in the works to run behind my little industrial switcher. (Also, if anyone has brown hinge plates, I'd be interested in buying some off you.)

Ijen volcano, contains a one-kilometer-wide turquoise-colored acid crater lake. The lake is the site of a labor-intensive sulfur mining operation, in which sulfur-laden baskets are carried by hand from the crater floor. Many other post-caldera cones and craters are located within the caldera or along its rim. The largest concentration of post-caldera cones forms an east/west-trending zone across the southern side of the caldera. The active crater at Kawah Ijen has an equivalent radius of 361 metres (1184 ft), a surface of 41 square kilometres (16 sq mi). It is 200 metres (660 ft) deep and has a volume of 36 cubic hectometres (29000 acre•ft).
In 2008, explorer George Kourounis took a small rubber boat out onto the acid lake to measure its acidity. The pH of the water in the crater was measured to be 0.5 due to sulfuric acid.
An active vent at the edge of the lake is a source of elemental sulfur, and supports a mining operation. Escaping volcanic gasses are channeled through a network of ceramic pipes, resulting in condensation of molten sulfur. The sulfur, which is deep red in color when molten, pours slowly from the ends of these pipes and pools on the ground, turning bright yellow as it cools. The miners carry break the cooled material into large pieces and carry it away in baskets. Miners must carry typical loads, which range range from 70 kilograms (150 lb) to 100 kilograms (220 lb), upward 200 metres (660 ft) to the crater rim and then several km (miles) down the mountain. Most miners make this journey twice a day. A nearby sugar refinery pays the miners by the weight of sulfur transported; as of September 2010, the typical daily earnings were equivalent to approximately $13 US. The miners often use insufficient protection while working around the volcano and complain of numerous respiratory afflictions.
Protest rally called by Mining Dependents at Kranti Circle, KTC Panaji on 19.3.18. Supreme Court stopped all mining activities effective 16.3.18 after cancelling all mining permits. Protestors blocked traffic from both bridges and other entry points to the city. As a last resort, protestors were Lathi charged around 3pm. Drone videography Video youtu.be/CzaV1Hyr8Us
Gem mining sluice
New France hamlet, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Williamsburg, VA
A large gem mining sluice activity was built in winter 2016 in front of Trapper Dave's General Store, replacing a much smaller one that can be seen in this photo.
This is my latest build, the mining outpost. It took me about a year to build, mainly due to my lack of Lego bricks. It's built on three 32x32 base plates, two 8x16 base plates, and one 16x16 base plate.I'm not really sure how many pieces it has, but I'm sure it's somewhere around 4000-5000. This is my first MOC that I've actually put forth the time to publish and show off. A full video describing the build as well as a timelapse can be found at my YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/channel/UCsLl7-5zilS3CK3343jWHBw/featured

A storm front begins to sweep across the Tarrawonga open cut coal mine near Gunnedah, north west NSW, Australia. The coal seam being mined can be clearly seen. Tarrawonga is not operational on Sundays, and the few pieces of machinery left behind in the pit can be seen near the mining fronts.
This was my first trip to the Sherwood Forest Faire, SE of Austin, TX. It's much smaller than the Texas Renaissance Festival but it had a nice feel to it. I went there for 2 days in March 2013. I'll definitely be going back to it next year!

Gauge from a Wabco mining truck on static display. Wabco, for those who don't know, was originally the Westinghouse Air Brake Company. Yes, that Westinghouse. They were one of the first big industrial manufacturers. Notice this truck is supposed to run around 15-17 mph.
Cornwall - St Agnes.
Mining.
Cornwall, along with its neighbouring county of Devon, was an important source of tin for Europe and the Mediterranean throughout ancient times, but began dominating the market during late Roman times in the 3rd century AD with the exhaustion of many Spanish tin mines. Cornwall maintained its importance as a source of tin throughout medieval times and into the modern period.
At their height about 100 mines employed 1000 miners. Mining came to an end in the 1920s and many of these mines are still on view for tourists. United Hills mine produced 86,500 tons of copper ore, 1826–1906; and Wheal Towan 54,610 tons, 1800-31. Lesser quantities of black tin were produced from these mines: West Wheal Kitty 10,070 tons (1881–1915); Wheal Kitty 9,510 tons (1853–1918); Polberro 4,300 tons (1837–95); Penhalls 3,610 tons (1834–96); and Blue Hills 2,120 tons (1858–97). Much of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape, a World Heritage Site, is in the parish. Tin production is still worked at the Blue Hills Tin Streams.
Wheal Coates was the site of medieval mining between 1066 and 1540, and it was a modern mining producer from 1802 and into the 20th century. The visible remains of Wheal Coates are the engine houses built in the 1870s to crush ore, run a Calciner, or pump water. The sites, owned by the National Trust, include the Whim Engine House, Towanroath Pumping Engine House and the Calciner. Before that the Jericho valley, where Blue Hills Tin Streams operated, had supported mining operations for centuries. At Chapel Coombe a set of old Cornish stamps has been re-erected by the Trevithick Society.
This culvert carries a stream under the spoil tip of Little Cannel Pit, Aspull. The nineteenth century brickwork is beginning to fail and the pressure of the waste above has distorted the profile in some lengths. What will happen when it inevitably collapses?
