London Mining is producing from its Marampa Mine in Sierra Leone and developing two other iron ore mines in Saudi Arabia and Greenland as well as a coking operation in Colombia.
There is a long history of coal mining in the Drumheller Badlands, all of them are long gone now, in almost every case the entire mine site was demolished after operations ceased, like with the Star Mine... That structure on top of the hill is one of the few things left...
A pinion shaft for the mining industry. Just putting the finishing touches on the spines on our Höfler 8000.
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.

Audrey Headframe Park
Jerome, Arizona
Largest wooden headframe still standing in Arizona, it was completed in 1918 to haul ore up from the mine. Shaft is 1900 feet deep, concrete lined with cross tunnels every 100 feet to Edith shaft. Edith shaft headframe was completed in 1915 to haul men and supplies. A wooden structure, it was torn down in 1981 and replaced with the steel version you see today, 260' to NW.
Between 1915 and 1938 almost 4 million tons of ore was extracted from the mine, producing 397,000 tons of Copper, 221 tons of silver and 5.5 tons of gold. Ore was brought to the surface then transported by tram and burro train, to the railhead in the valley. Later, ore was taken out underground through the Josephine tunnel, which was 1300 feet down and 2.5 miles long.

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.

Last used around 1873 at Island Mine, Isle Royal. I was amazed at how well preserved this machine is.

Kleinvoigtsberg, neighborhood of Großschirma
With the start of mining in Freiberg mining area also Großschirma began to benefit from the upturn. The State Mine Churprinz Friedrich August Erbstolln not far from the western trough bank was considering the yield one of the richest mines in the Freiberg area.
