Mining Benefits Fail to 'Trickle Down'
(IPS) With South-South trade on the rise and growth in emerging economies set to outstrip production in industrialised countries, the international mining sector has been quick to follow global trends.

Mining started during the mid 1600s in this area and went on up to the beginning of the 1900s.
One can certainly imagine the hardships of mining here in such a remote area. Apparently, they mined from March up to October.

Mining Equipment near the Hull Rust Mine Overlook in Hibbing, Minnesota. The Hull Rust Mine is the world's largest open pit mine.
Located on part of the now closed North Staffordshire Coal Field – the Apedale Country Park is a fine example of nature reclaiming industrial sites. The history of the site is celebrated in the Mining Museum – free of charge. The Moseley Railway Trust also found a home there for their collection of 2 foot gauge railways. Their steam fleet includes a Kerr Stuart Tatoo class 0-4-2T “Stanhope” and a Joffre 0-6-0T. The latter stars when the annual “Tracks to the Trenches” festival takes place with suitably dressed cast, train loads and replica trenches.
The Mining Museum is well worth a visit – Coal power drove the Potteries. Large chunks of NCB equipment await restoration whilst providing a home for blackberries.
The Apedale Country Park is located in the D formed by the M6 between junctions 15 and 16 and the A500 Stoke on Trent relief road. It is accessed from the A34.

The fully assembled frame, with a spare gpu card on for scale. The cards don't sit perfectly level, but this shouldn't be a problem. If care is taken during assembly, most of the bar codes and PVC markings can be hidden away. I've only glued the 'lower' portion of frame, but I think I'll glue the whole thing just to keep things nice and solid. PVC cement is difficult to work with on account of how fast it sets. Once I receive the PCI-e risers I ordered, I will be moving the mining rig onto this frame. The motherboard will be attached to the MDF board using spacers.

Coal mining is a huge business in Mongolia. The majority of power comes from coal and mining is a way for many Mongolians to make money. Coal mining is very hard work and dangerous. Bayarsaikhan has been mining coal for many years to provide for his family. Starting from the bottom, Bayarsaikhan now owns two mines and employs many men in the Nalaikh district. Loans from VisionFund Mongolia have supplied the additional capital to expand his business and buy a truck to haul coal this year. Bayarsaikhan has always had to work hard for wife and four children and VisionFund Mongolia has given him the financial ability to support his business and his family.
The World Museum of Mining was founded in 1963 when the close of Butte's mining heyday was less than two decades away. In the end Butte Montana experienced a century of hardrock mining and earned the reputation of being home to one of the world's most productive copper mines of all time. The Museum exists to preserve the enduring history of Butte and the legacy of its rich mining and cultural heritage.
The World Museum of Mining is one of the few museums in the world located on as actual mine yard- the Orphan Girl Mine. With fifty exhibit buildings, countless artifacts, and sixty-six primary exhibits in the mine yard.
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.
