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.
Here's an old mining shack outside of Oatman, AZ. If you ever get a chance to go there I highly recommend it. It's an experience you won't soon forget.

The mining in Alwar is creating havoc to the environment and the asthetics of aravalis... Something has to be done to stop this.

The World Museum of Mining was founded in 1963 when the close of Butte's mining heyday was less than two decades away. In the end Butte Montana experienced a century of hardrock mining and earned the reputation of being home to one of the world's most productive copper mines of all time. The Museum exists to preserve the enduring history of Butte and the legacy of its rich mining and cultural heritage.
The World Museum of Mining is one of the few museums in the world located on as actual mine yard- the Orphan Girl Mine. With fifty exhibit buildings, countless artifacts, and sixty-six primary exhibits in the mine yard.
London Mining’s objective is to identify, develop and operate scalable mines to become a mid-tier supplier to the global steel industry. The Group’s principal assets have actual or anticipated production and the ability for further expansion through either upgrading resources or acquisition.
Some Tanzanite mine plots are quite undeveloped with almost nothing on them
So many men live a brutal life, mining in the hope that one day, they'll hit the big strike and be able to build a home and start a small farm or just get out of the industry. Tanzanite mining ages these men so very quickly.

The ashy mining bee or grey mining bee, Andrena cineraria, is a European species of the sand bee (Andrena) genus.[1][2] Its distinctive colouring makes it one of the most easily recognised of the genus.[3] The females are black, with two broad grey hair bands across the thorax. The male is also black although the thorax is entirely covered with grey hairs.[4] The male has a tuft of white hairs on the lower face and white hairs on all femora while the female has white hairs only on the front femora.[2] The female has twelve segments to their antennae and the male has thirteen.[3]
The ashy mining bee is common and widespread throughout Europe, ranging from Ireland across central Europe and into Scandinavia. They are common throughout the United Kingdom although less frequent in northern Scotland. Generally docile, they are considered safe around children and pets.[4] The ashy mining bee flies from April until early June, most noticeably during the flowering periods of fruit trees, of which they are an important pollinator.[4] They are also commonly seen hovering just above the ground after mating in spring.[5] Following mating, the male dies and the female starts to build a nest. Each female has her own nest and the ashy mining bee is therefore classified amongst solitary bees. They prefer to nest in tended lawns, flowerbeds, parkland, calcareous grassland, orchards and on the borders of agricultural land.[4]
The nest is a simple burrow with several brood cells branching off it. The entrances to the burrows are identifiable by the conical mounds of excavated spoil on the surface. The female fills the brood cells with a mixture of nectar and pollen, and lays one egg in each cell. The larva hatches within a few days, grows quickly and pupates within a few weeks. The adults emerge the following spring after hibernation. The male emerges before the female.[4] The nests are frequently invaded by cleptoparasitic "cuckoo bees."
