Photographed at the Battery Hill Mine Museum. Tennant Creek has a rich history as a gold mining centre. Here was found one of the richest gold bearing seams ever mined in the world. Very remotely located in central Australian desert country, life was harsh for the people who lived here.
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.
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 ore rich rocks of these hills were once busy with the frenzied activity of gold mining. It's great fun just to pick up any old loose stone on the trail and feel the weight of various mysterious metals and oxides in its composition.
Only open to tourists for five deay a year (August 14 - 18 and International Miner's Day), the Cătălina Monulești gold mine is a complex maze of tunnels spanning across two millenia of gold mining.
On August 14 I was fortunate enough of being able to travel to Roșia Montană and see for myself - and, should you allow, for you as well - some of the Roman tunnels still standing after 2,000 years, which is really impressive.
Roșia Montană Gold Corporation only recently (2012) opened it up for public visiting, guided - of course - and this is a good, safe and pleasant experience for non-claustrophobil folks.
Anyway, as soon as I got word that this gold mine was partially-open to public visiting, I scheduled myself a one-day trip to the place and, as you shall see, it was all worth it.
In Romanian, more details shall follow soon, here: www.robintel.ro/blog/fotoblog/catalina-monulesti/

Centralia is a town in Pennsylvania that was abandoned when a coal seam beneath the town caught on fire. The fire is still burning, and its smoke is still vented to the surface around the town.

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.

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.
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".

Downtown view of the historic mining town of Creede in southwestern Colorado. It is nestled at the northwestern edge of the giant Creede Caldera that helped to create mineral deposits attractive to miners in the late 1800's.
"Creede was the last silver boom town in Colorado in the 19th century. The town leapt from a population of 600 in 1889 to more than 10,000 people in December 1891. The Creede mines operated continuously from 1890 until 1985, and were served by the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad."
Last used around 1873 at Island Mine, Isle Royal. I was amazed at how well preserved this machine is.

Jerome, Arizona
Jerome is perched on the side of Cleopatra Hill deposits. In 1876, mining claims and a mill were located near the over rich ore town. These claims were purchased in 1882 by the United Verde Company, and the tent camp was named Jerome after Eugene Jerome, a major financier of the company. Senator William Clark of Montana purchased the company in 1883. By the mid 1920s the population had grown to almost 15,000 before it began to decline.
Walking down Main Street is like taking a step back in time. Remnants of the "Red Light District," Company Hill, old hotels, and saloons still exist. Today the population is close to 500. When the mines shut down in the 1950s, the population was below 100. It was then the town became known as a ghost town. However, today it is a thriving destination tourist town and a national historic landmark.
