Sand Mining---Sand mining activities, a tradition spanning many decades, in Tugumukti village, Cisarua, Bandung, West Java, Indonesia, 7 September 2011. The hills of Cisarua hold great potential as their sand is of very high quality, so much so that illegal mining activity is threatening the destruction of the ecosystems of the hills. Seeing as it is their only means of income, something must be done to prevent any further illegal poaching from occuring.

Hamilton, NV town site and mining area -- see adjacent photos. Looking across Hamilton back towards where a nearby picture (with chimney) was taken. The chimney from the other picture is barely visible, up and left of my car (which looks very small and is in the center). This gives some indication of how large an area Hamilton and its operations covered, in their heyday. (Later digital photo)

Using the pickaxe to "mine" a block. One side of each box was just paper (no cardboard behind it) so they could break through easily.
To control the chaos, we gave out cards (we had 5 total), and told the kids to look for a block that matches the card. When they found it, they would bring the card back to get a new card. It made sure there were only a few kids mining at once. Luckily, we had a good group of kids that followed along.
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.
The Arigna Mining Experience is a unique community inspired initiative which records 400 years of mining history in the area. Coal mining provided much needed work in a region of poor agricultural land. Regular employment was uncommon in the province of Connaught in the 19th and 20th centuries, and it is often said; “There was money in Arigna when there was no money elsewhere”. The industry sustained the community of Arigna down through the centuries and helped them through the horrors of the famine years (1845 to 1852).
The possibility of developing a mining visitor centre in Arigna, Co. Roscommon first emerged when the last coal mines closed in 1990. This development was driven by the local community with the major support from a number of agencies within County Roscommon. Arigna LEADER was the first advocate of the development and secured the necessary finance to initiate the project. Funding followed from the Arigna Enterprise Fund and the Department of Communications, Marine & Natural Resources, which approved a grant of €950,000. This financing brought the project to completion. The development, as it stands, represents a total investment of over €1.5 million, including over €250,000 raised by the local community.

Cryptocurrency is not produced like any standard currency; instead it is generated through a process known as mining. Check out the infographic to know more about crypto mining and how it's done.

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.
