The Arigna Mining Experience is a unique community inspired initiative which records 400 years of mining history in the area. Coal mining provided much needed work in a region of poor agricultural land. Regular employment was uncommon in the province of Connaught in the 19th and 20th centuries, and it is often said; “There was money in Arigna when there was no money elsewhere”. The industry sustained the community of Arigna down through the centuries and helped them through the horrors of the famine years (1845 to 1852).
The possibility of developing a mining visitor centre in Arigna, Co. Roscommon first emerged when the last coal mines closed in 1990. This development was driven by the local community with the major support from a number of agencies within County Roscommon. Arigna LEADER was the first advocate of the development and secured the necessary finance to initiate the project. Funding followed from the Arigna Enterprise Fund and the Department of Communications, Marine & Natural Resources, which approved a grant of €950,000. This financing brought the project to completion. The development, as it stands, represents a total investment of over €1.5 million, including over €250,000 raised by the local community.
Artisanal gold mining is the leading source of toxic mercury emissions. Miners use mercury to extract small bits of gold from ore. 40% of mercury released by artisanal gold mining goes directly into the atmosphere and circulates around the globe before landing in oceans and rivers, contaminating fisheries worldwide.
Artisanal gold mining is conducted in over 70 countries around the world. It is estimated that there are between 10 and 15 million artisanal and small-scale gold miners worldwide, including 4.5 million women and 600,000 children.

Photographed at the Battery Hill Mine Museum. Tennant Creek has a rich history as a gold mining centre. Here was found one of the richest gold bearing seams ever mined in the world. Very remotely located in central Australian desert country, life was harsh for the people who lived here.

A little Legless Lizard that are often mistaken for a snake and killed. You can tell them apart by the long tail. A snake has a long body and short tail. Plus when these guys are provoked they try to "gallop", people sometimes mistake this for striking like a snake. You should have heard the girls in the office shrieking when we found it.

Eureka, Tintic Mining District, Juab county, UT
Mormon stockholders named the city Ruby Hallow, it was renamed Eureka around 1870. Eureka quickly become the center of Tintic Mining District. The mines produced gold, silver, lead and zinc. Once it was one of the top mining areas of Utah.
Eureka housed financial institutions, local and county governmental buildings, churches and an impressive post office. Once it had a population of around 3500 but today only 700 people live here. Most of the buildings of the historic Main St are abandoned and/or crumbling. There are some antique shops and grocery stores (some of them closed). Other places to visit are the log cabin of Porter Rockwell and the Tintic Mining Museum (open sporadically, call first!).

Pershyttan historical mining village, Nora, Sweden.
The barn-looking building to the left is the old storage house for charcoal, that was used when refining the iron ore in to pig-iron (Sw: tackjärn).

"Written documents show that mining of bedrock iron ore and processing of pig iron in a charcoal blast furnace were already in progress over 600 years ago.
Within the premises of Pershyttan, we can, among others, find the old mines of Slihälle, Skägge and Lockgruvan. These mines were probably in use already in the middle of the 12:th century. The production was stopped in 1909.
There are today archaeological evidences, based on carbon-dating, showing that the minefield of Lockgruvan has delivered iron ore to one of the oldest blast furnaces in the region, Alntorpshyttan.
In Pershyttan the blast furnace was the heart of the village and the mines were situated close by. Over the centuries many generations of blast furnaces have been erected more or less at the same spot. The, probably, last and present blast furnace was built in 1856 and was finally closed down in 1953.
It is a unique establishment and one of, if not, the best-preserved charcoal blast furnace in Europe . Inside the building you can still find most of the technical installations in place from the last 100 years of production and it gives you a good idea how pig iron was produced in the old days.
A large number of similar furnaces have been in operation over the centuries in this mid-south Sweden region called "Bergslagen", but Pershyttan is one of the few still standing.
The last iron ore mine in Pershyttan closed down in 1967. Hundreds and hundreds of mines, today most of them water filled, still remind us of the impact that this early industry had on this region.
In Pershyttan you can still have a good view of this historical industrial and cultural environment. Not only the mines, the blast furnace, the slag-heaps you can also see old energy supply equipments based on waterwheel power. Buildings for various purposes and cottages, farms and manor houses earlier belonging to the peasant iron miner and the owners of the mines and the blast furnace, the so called "Bergsmännen".
Pershyttan is today a complete mine and blast furnace-village based on the ownership of the "bergsmännen" in clear contrast to a company-owned village environment. This is unique and the whole village is today protected as a cultural heritage and as a national culture park.
Pershyttan together with the town of Nora and the Nora Bergslags Veteran Railway was awarded the international Europe Nostra award in 1993 for cultural building and heritage preservation."
