The Blue Bird Mine was intermittently active for more than 90 years before closing permanently to mining in the early 1960s. In between active mining periods, the complex -- which sits near the edge of a quiet meadow with expansive views -- became a favorite "whistle stop" for tourists visiting the mountains on the Switzerland Trail Railroad in the early 1900s.

The mining industry is a potential threat to Sumatran orangutan habitat in a number of important areas, both directly by its own activities and indirectly by road access. It includes a major gold mine near the town of Batang and iron ore mining in the Alas valley, and planned development of coal mining in the hill forests inland of the Tripa swamps.

On our scenic drive through the mountains, we stop in the small town of Nederland to grab lunch and a pint. We pass by a mining museum with aging machinery rusting in peace outside. I enjoyed taking a few pictures after lunch before heading back to Denver.

This 22" gauge compressed air Porter 0-4-0 loco is on display in the parking area in front of the tour office for the Homestake Mining Company. There is a smaller one elsewhere in town that I didn't have the chance to photograph.

A coal preparation plant (CPP) is a facility that washes coal of soil and rock, preparing it for transport to market. A CPP may also be called a "coal handling and preparation plant" (CHPP), "prep plant," "tipple," or "wash plant".

According to the historic gold museum in Dahlonega, the gold found in North Georgia is considered to be some of the world’s finest, with a purity content of about 98%, higher than that later found in both California and Alaska. Because of this purity, mining was an integral part of Dahlonega’s economy and culture for many years. Mining started after Benjamin Parks found gold in 1828. However, as the years passed by, it became harder and harder to find the precious metal in streams and shallow digging. New ways to mine were developed, including digging deep mines into the mountains and using high-powered water cannons (like the one shown here). Hydraulic mining (using water cannons) wore down the mountain so that the miners could get to the gold ore; hydraulic mining, unfortunately, left huge, ugly gashes in the mountains’ sides.
Information found in the historical film shown at the Dahlonega gold museum shows that mining in North Georgia continued through the 1900s. In fact, in the 1930s, the mining business struck their wealthiest findings that ever the mines had produced. Graham DuGas, owner of the Calhoun mine, made a fortune in the early 1900s in the gold industry. However, the mines were all abandoned during World War II, when the men left to go fight.

A coal mining risk assessment is a well-established procedure for determining whether a devel-opment site is in a high-risk area. It requires validating plan proposals for non-householder and commercial planning applications in a high-risk area for development proposals.
The coal mining risk assessment includes an assessment of the Coal Authority Mining Report. Also, a visit to the offices of the Coal Authority to assess mining plans, a review of modern and historical published geological maps, and a review of technical reports/memoirs. The other pur-pose of a coal mine risk assessment is to identify coal mine risks at the development site and de-velop a plan to ensure the safety and sustainability of the development site. Earth Environmental & Geotechnical's experienced team immediately revises your mining risk assessment. For more details kindly visit- www.earthenvironmental.co.uk/coal-mining-risk-assessment/
