I assume that this is a mining bee; about 10 of them were borrowing holes in the soil in our back garden. They look like bees and are quite unaggressive, even when you open the soil where they are digging.

In the village of Kayelekera, former sex-worker Queen Kaira (right) wraps up a meeting with sex workers from the village. “For us as ladies, the only way to get employment at the mine is to have sex with the big bosses”, says Brendah Kaonga (second from right in foreground). “There’s only disadvantages,” says Jenny of the mine (second from left), “at the end of the day you are getting infected, getting diseases.” Several unemployed men also dropped in on the meeting to express their discontent.

GHH mining machine underground shovel, when they were introduced in the Monteponi mine, helped to make the work lighter and faster. He wouldn't mind seeing it displayed in a protected area and not exposed to the elements. A machine created to work indoors that ends its "career" outdoors. The most interesting part are the reinforcements made by hand welding along the entire profile of the blade of the shovel. Although not a certainly functional artistic work; this is proof of the mastery and skills that the staff had acquired in working in a mine like this.

  

Pala da sottosuolo GHH mining machine, quando vennero introdotte nella miniera di Monteponi aiutarono a rendere il lavoro più leggero e veloce. Non sabbe male vederla esposta in una zona protetta e non esposta alle intemperie. Una macchina che nasce per lavorare al chiuso che finisce al sua "carriera" all'aria aperta. La parte più interessante sono i rinforzi realizzati con saldatura a mano lungo tutto il profilo della lama della pala. Seppure non un lavoro artistico sicuramente funzionale; questo a riprova della maestria e delle competenze che il personale aveva acquisito nel lavorare in una miniera come questa.

Not much has changed in the technology of mining in 15 years since the mine opened. But now Union organizers were agitating for improved working conditions for the miners. Note the thickness of this coal seam. It makes for a nice comfortable roof height.

Solo Bitcoin mining does mean that you don’t have to share your profits with a huge group of other people. However, it also means that you don’t get to share the profits of the thousands of other miners, either. You only get paid out if you’re the miner who solves the hash.

In Parabara Village we came across an area that was being mined.

I don't believe strip mining will ever be stopped until the Federal Goverment steps in. There just isn't enough power in the general public. We have beautiful land in this region that can be observed easily. I believe the only way that our land will be preserved is to turn more of our unclaimed land into state parks or national forest. Many of the areas right in our backyards are just as pretty as many of the national forest. So the general public needs to step up, confront the goverment, and get them to do something about our land being perished.

Nippissing #96 silver mine shaft, Cobalt Ontario, 2002. Nice, informative signs and displays all throughout the Cobalt camp about the mining history there. I was there in 2002 as a 'spy' to get ideas for our own mining museum.

Wonderful restoration
