Questa è la dimostrazione pratica di come in Sardegna viene trattata la questione "accessi minerari" ad opera di certe organizzazioni conniventi. Davvero un applauso, complimenti! -.-

As far as I know, this is the only surviving picture of my maternal great grandfather. It is his ID badge from the mining company where he worked.
street mining is pretty simple: once a month a bunch of people get together and go walk the streets. each month is guided by a different person showing off their favorite gems. anyone's invited, so why not come exploring?

Granite Ghost Town in Summer, Granite County, Montana
Silver was first discovered in the area around Granite in 1865. The Granite mine, "Ruby Shaft," was discovered in 1872. During the course of silver mining at Granite, $40 million dollars worth of silver was removed, making it the "richest silver mine on earth." The mine was closed after the silver panic of 1893.
The site pictured is the east end of what remains of two massive buildings that covered the face of these rock walls and contained 70 stamp mills that crushed ore from the Ruby shaft. After crushing, the ore was sent down the hill for the silver to be separated from the base metal by amalgamation with mercury. The stamp mills worked six days a week at the height of production.These ruins and the ruins of the mining operation are located
Granite was a company town, built by the Granite Mountain Mining Company. It is located approximately four miles due north of present day Philipsburg, MT.
Andrena cineraria - the ashy mining bee. A phone call reported a "swarm of bees". It turned out to be Andrena cineraria flying low over the ground and making nests in the soil on a patch of grass.

Across the river on the bank is some mining that is polluting the waters in Puerto Maldonado. To extract the gold they put liquid mercury in the soil and once they are finished they put the excess into the water, the water pollutes the fish, the locals catch and eat the fish, and the locals become ill.

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.
This is the photo of a beermat that I found in a flat that I bought in Nottingham.
Nottingham used to be a big mining area, but most of the mines have now closed.
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 primary goal of the coal mining risk assessment is to determine the dangers associated with coal mining at the development site. The Coal Authority acts as a legal consultant for any planning proposal within a High-Risk Zone. Moreover, the coal authority conducts a formal inspection to examine previous data on your site. These analyses can be related to any mining plans, a review of modern and historical published geological maps, and a review of technical reports/memoirs. To learn more about coal mining risk assessment, kindly visit- www.earthenvironmental.co.uk/coal-mining-risk-assessment/
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.
