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.
Mining Bee seen at RSPB Minsmere. Appears to be of Adrena genus but exact species unclear - I had thought perhaps a male Ashy Mining bee (Andrena cineraria), but the experts on the FB group "UK Bees, Wasps and Ants" have not been able to determine the specific species from this photo alone.

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.

The giant mining operation run by Xstrata extracting minerals from open cut and shaft operations at Mount Isa Queensland Australia.
This piece of equipment is a continuous miner and is what actually cuts the coal from the seam by using the large carbide tips you see on the front of it. The worker operates it by way of a large remote control, but there is always a present danger of being crushed by the equipment. Since 1984, there have been 29 crushing fatalities involved with this piece of equipment. A new safety device was introduced yesterday ata local press conference. The device is being produced right here in the heart of coal mining country and is being endorsed by MSHA. The device (TramGuard Proximity System) will alert the worker when he is in a danger zone of being crushed. The worker and the equipment are fitted with sensors that will first alert them and then shut down the equipment if the worker does not move out of the danger zone. I can't do it justice in explaining it, but if you want to see it in action, visit their website at www.gsimining.com
It's really very interesting and exciting for the mining industry!

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.
Chicken Ridge, so called because of the local ptarmigan population, was first settled in 1893. This neighborhood rose with the fortunes of Juneau & became home to many prominent & affluent residents. The Wickersham house was erected in 1898 for Frank Hammond, owner of the Sheep Creek Mining District Company, & was owned by several families before the Wickersham purchased the property in 1928. This was the final Alaska home for the Judge & je lived here until his death in 1939.
