The image was taken in some old claims of the Mayener Grubenfeld. This area is one of the oldest and most important places to mine for basalt stone, and is located in the center of the area named "Vulkanische Osteifel", the "Vulcanic Eastern-Eifel". The area was formed about 200000 years ago, as magma filled the Nettetal valley. The basalt stone is mined in the area starting about 5000 b.c. up to now, the makes the area to one of the oldest mining areas still in use.

 

This small claim was one of the typical claims of the area upto the time frame of 1900 to WWII. The claims was operated by around 5 persons and filled with water after it was abondaned.

Some sort of mining scaffold in Goldfield, Nevada. This looks old school.

And old "Beam" single-cylinder steam engine used in Colorado mining. Used for pumping and lifting, these engines were not efficient and were replaced by other types. But gold (and silver, ...) were powerful incentives so the mining folks did not wait for efficiency - they wanted things "yesterday", if not sooner.

So critical to the war effort was Pennsylvania's anthracite that a Richmond newspaper contended that Confederate General Lee had concocted a plan to destroy its coal mining operations during his 1863 invasion of the Keystone State.

This cold weather, the bees are just laying on the Rhody leaves hoping the sun will come out and warm them. Easier to photograph them this way but I would settle for chasing them in the sunshine.

Roslyn, WA - Roslyn was a coal mining town for about 30 yrs in the early 20th century. Roslyn pays tribute to the miners that made the town in this mural. They take pride in their heritage in other monuments around the town center. Many immigrants came to Roslyn during the mining days and made the town what it was... and is.

Chuquicamata copper mine near Calama, Chile, is the world’s largest open pit copper mine. Such was its contribution to the Chilean economy that president Salvador Allende nicknamed the raw copper “Chile’s bread”.

 

The original Chuquicamata town, which housed all mine workers and their families from early in the mine’s development, was abandoned in 2007. Health and safety concerns over the high levels of dust from the mine and gasses from the smelting plant caused the Codelco mining company to relocate all families. Today the entire town stands abandoned, with boarded up buildings, fading signs, and wind blowing through the empty streets. As the town was only relatively recently abandoned, and because it is still on mining company property, it has suffered very little decay and vandalism. Although it is not possible to enter any of the buildings, even wandering the streets offers an evocative insight into the harsh realities of life here in the middle of the desert.

Did you know that Cornwall has over 300 glorious beaches? It also has the UK's longest stretch of coastline at some 435 miles .... and over a three week period I only walked 100 miles of it.

mining is hard on people and things

The Museum is run by a group of volunteers in a microgranite quarry at Threlkeld, with a Geology Room, Bookshop, Underground Experience, Gold Panning, Excavator Display, Engine House and Steam Engine, all there to enjoy together with the Quarry and the views. Also on offer are mine tours and mineral panning.

 

The quarry itself is a RIGS site and displays contacts between the “Skiddaw Slate” and the granite intrusion, as well as other fascinating features.

 

Threlkeld Quarry and Mining Museum have their own narrow gauge railway and “Sir Tom”, a steam locomotive, hauls passengers daily in the summer holidays and on other weekends. In quiet periods one of the collection of vintage classic diesel locos is used.

This is a little Lego Ideas concept I had rolling around for awhile now. It is a lunar mining facility run by a group of six robots. I've always had a deep love for the older space themes Lego made during the late 80's mid 90's. Things like Blacktron, or Unitron, or insectoids, they all were quite inspiring and spectacular to me!

 

This set proper, took little over a week to build, with a few hiccups here and there. The base itself took the longest to build, and was the one that underwent the most redesigns. It was either too crowded to fit the details I wanted inside or just way too big and looked a bit off.

 

If you like this build and think it would make for a great Lego set, then you can help support it on Lego Ideas! ideas.lego.com/projects/149128

According to the structure and application, vibrating feeder can be divided into four types: GZG type, ZSW type and GZT type. This series of vibrating feeder is widely used in coal industry for quantitatively sending the raw coal and coal powder from the storage bin to the material receiving equipment, and it has such features as fast start, stable stoppage, low maintenance rate, convenient installation and simple structure, so that it is the ideal equipment for feeding materials in the coal industry.
