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.
Mount Mulligan is a former mining town, mining coal from 1910 until 19 September 1921 when an underground explosion killed 75 miners (all the miners in the town). The mine closed, but reopened in 1923 and continued in production until 1957 when a hydro-electric scheme eliminated the need for the coal. The coal was mined from shafts dug into a Permian layer under the cliff face of a large 18 kilometres x 6.5 kilometres free-standing Triassic conglomerate and sandstone (Pepper Pot Sandstone) massif (rising up to 400 metres above the township) known by the name given it by the small group of prospectors who first sighted it in 1874 while searching the Hodgkinson River for gold, under the leadership of James Venture Mulligan. The conglomerate and sandstone massif is known to local Djungan aboriginal peoples as Ngarrabullgan.
One of the many home-made signs at the The New South Wales Farmers organised 'Protect our Land and Water' rally, which marched form Martin Place to State Parliament to tell the government that they need to do more to protect NSW from coal seam gas and destructive mining.

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 āSkiddaw Slateā and the granite intrusion, as well as other fascinating features.
Threlkeld Quarry and Mining Museum have their own narrow gauge railway and āSir Tomā, 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.
I allowed myself a little fun when processing these photos!
Protest rally called by Mining Dependents at Kranti Circle, KTC Panaji on 19.3.18. Supreme Court stopped all mining activities effective 16.3.18 after cancelling all mining permits.

I'm not sure if this is an axle from a mining truck or one of the loaders, but it's the biggest I've ever seen.

Actually I can't remember exactly what it is, but I think it is a kind of mining machine which was used in this area. It stands next to the beach in Wawa.

I am not sure what was mined or processed here. This auger was part of the processing plant at Danby.

The fundamental purposes of the coal mining risk assessment are to identify the risks of coal mining at the development site. The Coal Authority is a legal consultant for any planning application within a High-Risk Zone. The coal mining risk assessment includes an assessment of the Coal Authority Mining Report. Also, a visit to the offices of the Coal Authority to assess mining plans, a review of modern and historical published geological maps, and a review of technical reports/memoirs.

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.

Tumco (originally Hedges) was a gold mining town in the Cargo Muchachos range founded in the 1870s. For half a century men toiled in this place, dying of exhaustion, starvation, and disease, drowned or crushed in mines and quarries, all for one dollar a day in wages. Today little remains of Tumco save some ruins, derelict mining equipment and a cemetery full of unmarked graves. The site is almost totally silent save for the wind whistling through the jagged Muchachos and the hundreds of tunnels delved into them. This place gave me the creeps.
