The DENR disclosed the highlights of the report of the Technical Review Teams (TRTs) which were commissioned by the Mining Industry Coordinating Council (MICC) to conduct an objective, fact-finding and science-based review of the performance of twenty-six (26) mining companies in the country.
The MICC review covered nineteen (19) nickel mines, three (3) gold and gold and copper mines, three (3) chromite mines and two (2) magnetite/iron mines, for a total of twenty-seven (27) mines of twenty six (26) mining companies. It assessed the mining companies’ practices in terms of the following aspects: legal, technical, environmental, social and economic.
The MICC review categorized mining companies’ practices into:
Minor Corrections 2
Major Reforms 1
Not Acceptable 0
The rating system provides a snapshot of the assessment after the Review Teams conducted their field visits, performed their analyses, and discussed with team-members and co-specialists.
In order to separate the mining companies that had the most problems from those with fewer issues, a 1.5 cut-off average score per aspect was determined as the threshold. This cut-off is fifty percent of the highest score of 3 as an acceptable level of performance.
Among the 26 mining companies, four, or 15% of the total, have legal rating that are lower than 1.5 - Zambales Development Mining Corporation, Claver Mining Development Corporation, Oriental Synergy Mining Corporation, and Mt. Sinai Mining Exploration and Development.
Four mining companies, also 15% of the total, have technical scores that are lower than 1.5 - Claver, Oriental Synergy, SinoSteel, and Ore Asia.
On the environmental aspect, eight (8) companies scored below the passing rating of 1.5. They are Claver Mineral Development Corporation, Wellex Mining Corporation Mine 1, Libjo Mining Corporation, Oriental Synergy Mining Corporation, Oriental Vision Mining Phil. Corporation, Sinosteel Phil. N.Y. Mining Corporation, Krominco Inc. and Ore Asia Mining and Development Corporation
The social aspect of the review showed that twelve (12) companies scored below the threshold. These are Benguet Corp. Nickel Mines, Eramen Minerals, Inc., LNL Archipelago Minerals, Inc., Claver Mineral Development Corporation, Carrascal Nickel Corporation, AAMPHIL Natural Resources Exploration and Development Corporation, Wellex Mining Corporation Mine 1, Wellex Mining Corporation Mine 2, Mt. Sinai Mining Exploration and Development, Emir Minerals Corp., Ore Asia Mining and Development Corporation and Strongbuilt Mining Development Corporation.
In terms of the economic aspect, only two (2) companies scored lower than the threshold. They are Oriental Synergy Mining Corporation and Ore Asia Mining Development Corporation.
Based on the Report, three (3) mining companies are most problematic for majority of the aspects reviewed. Three (3) companies, Claver Mineral Development Corporation, Oriental Synergy, and Ore Asia, have three to four average aspect scores that are less than 1.5. DENR Secretary Roy Cimatu issued order affirming the cancellation of the MPSAs/denial of MPSA application of these companies.
The MICC Report also includes case studies on the Economic Analysis of Specific Options for Selected Mining Companies. They are:
• Benguet Corporation, BC (gold mining) – alternative uses of the inactive Antamok for Benguet Water Supply or Engineered Sanitary Land Fill
• Oriental Vision Mining Philippine Corporation, OVMPC (nickel mining) in Dinagat Island – land use alternatives (agro-forestry)
• Hinatuan Mining Corporation, HMC (nickel mining)– alternative land use to mining in a small island setting
• Zambales nickel mines: Benguet Nickel Mines, Inc., BNMI; Eramen Minerals Inc., EMI, LNL Arhipelago Minerals, LNL Archipelago Minerals, In. LAMI; Zambales Diversified Minerals, ZDMC – management of silt that drain into common water bodies
• Strongbuilt Mining Development Corporation (magnetite/iron) – alternative scale combined with agricultural crop production
The Report generally showed that for the majority of mining companies, improvements in technical and environmental management practices need to continue and scale up.
It should be noted that the Report also acknowledged that there had been efforts by at least half of the companies to rectify and correct inappropriate practices.
Some policy recommendations mentioned in the Report include the development of guidelines for Care and Maintenance Period, retooling of the Multipartite Monitoring Team, implementation of a “one-stop” for mining permit and document processing, and the determination of minerals in direct-shipping ores (DSOs).
Sec. Cimatu already tasked the MGB to implement the recommendations of the MICC Review Team.

Adventures at the Empire Mine
By Paisley Kirkpatrick The Empire Mine, located in Grass Valley, California, is one of the oldest, largest, deepest, longest, and richest gold mines in California. Between 1850 and its closure in 1956, the Empire Mine produced 5.8 million ounces of gold, extracted from 367 miles (591 km) of underground passages. The Cottage included a greenhouse, gardens, fountains and a reflecting pool.

October 15, 2003
The Jackson Township Supervisors held their regular meeting at 9:00 a.m. at the Jackson Township Municipal Building. Members present were Supervisors David Bracken, Bob Stephens and Bruce Baker along with Secretary-Treasurer / Manager Dave Hirko. The meeting was called to order by David Bracken, Chairman, with the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag.
Board Roll Call was taken with all three Supervisors present.
Public Comments Concerning Agenda Items:
Charles Merlo of Merlo General Contractors Inc. said they were building a treatment system for the Webster Mine discharge under contract with the US Army Corp. of Engineers. He said the job would involve building two large ponds and a wetlands taking the water from Webster from a pH of 3 which is very acidic and by the time it would discharge back into Blacklick Creek it would be 6 or 7 which is neutral. He said this would be one of the largest improvements to Blacklick Creek that the Corp. has on its agenda. Mr. Merlo said the people involved in this project are the Army Corp. in Pittsburgh, the PaDEP and that the sponsor is the Cambria County Conservation & Recreation District headed up by Dee Columbus, Executive Director. He said he was here to get the right-of-entry signed on her behalf. He said there was an outlet pipe that relieves the mine and comes out of the entry where they would have to go into. He said the flow currently is about 1500 gallons per minute. He said they had to go into that entry, build a seal and re-seal it and tap into a pipe with valves and run it under Route 271 through existing pipe placed by PennDOT and into the wetlands for the water to be improved. He said the Corp. didnít anticipate the level of the "mine pool" and that in the mid 90's there was a blow-out there and 24" pipe was placed there to fix the problem but it is about 7 feet above where they need to enter the mine. He said there had to be at least 7 feet of water or about 8 million gallons in the mine pool. He went on to say there was no risk to their knowledge to any residents in Nanty Glo but before they could get into the entrance which is totally filled with water they would have to lower it by about 10 feet to have a safe operation to install the pipe and build the seal. The idea is to relieve the water before they begin work. After looking at the old Webster Mine maps, it was determined that there were two places where they could sink bore holes and not hit a mine pillar. If a mine pillar would be hit, more than one hole would be necessary. The one location where the bore hole would go is on Jackson Township Property about 30 feet above the Nanty Glo Borough line on Loraine Road. He said the other bore hole would be on Lloyd Street. Merlo estimated it could take 6-7 months depending upon the weather. The bore holes would establish where the mine pool is and then an 18" hole would be dug down about 130 feet to the mine pool. He said the water level would then come up into the bore hole about 30 feet and a vertical surface pump would be installed with an on-site generator with a discharge line into Pergrim Run. He said there was probably about 1000 gallons a minute coming into the mine plus they had to lower the mine pool by about 8 million gallons. He said it would take about 2-4 weeks to draw down the pool and then maintain the lower level until a new seal could be built. He said they were asking for permission to go on Township Property to drill one bore hole and then an 18-24" hole to put pumps in to pump the mine down until the entry can be fixed. He added that after the work was completed, the hole would be sealed and ground would be restored to the same or better condition than before. Will Michaels said there could be a danger of roof falls and asked if there was any way to know if the mine roof was made from Sand Rock or Slate? Merlo said it may be necessary to drill multiple holes until the water came up the hole. He said the roof of the mine was down about 1608' elevation and they would be at 1780' surface elevation. He said if there was a roof fall down there it shouldnít affect the project as long as they hit an entry and the water comes up. Chairman Bracken said when talking to the Project Foreman, he was a little concerned about the water. Merlo replied if the pool was lowered, everyone working should be working in a dry, safe area.
Motion Baker, second Stephens to grant a right of entry to the Cambria County Conservation and Recreation Authority. Vote-3 yes.
Other New Business:
Motion Baker, second Stephens to adjourn the meeting at 9:20 am. Vote-3 yes.

Even rocks that have been passed over by other prospectors as well as gold mine tailings (leftovers) may contain gold. Fortunes have been made by patiently and systematically reworking the leftovers and tailings of fly-by-night and slash-and-grab gold prospectors and miners. Large corporate efforts to extract gold often leave behind gold that is more efficiently and cost-effectively extracted.

Radial Shaft Seal – O-ring – Packing
In the bearing, the radial shaft seal prevents any external substances to enter the bearing and it also blocks the leakage of lubricant. In time of selecting proper radial shaft seal some factors are important including type of lubricant (oil or grease), rotation speed, shaft’s status (vertical or horizontal), and the possibility of its opposite direction, the available space, friction of radial shaft seal, and the temperature together with the working environment shall be considered. The radial shaft seal may be attached to bearing or be located outside the bearing.
Types of Radial Shaft Seal:
- Graphitic radial shaft seal for compressor and operation at high temperatures
- Silicon radial shaft seal for dry heat
- Viton radial shaft seal for high temperatures and resistant against chemicals and oil
- NBR radial shaft seal (anti-oil)
- ilicon O-ring

Gold Terra Resumes Drilling Program on Con Mine Option Property after Lifting of Yellowknife Wildfire Evacuation Order
News provided byACCESSWIRE
Sep 18, 2023, 8:00 AM ET
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 18, 2023 / Gold Terra Resource Corp. (TSX-V:YGT)(Frankfurt:TX0)(OTCQX:YGTFF) ("Gold Terra" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the deep drilling program to test for gold mineralization on the Con Mine Option Property has resumed. Hole GTCM23-055 was stopped at 1,900 metres on the Yellowknife wildfire evacuation order. The hole is targeted to intersect the down plunge extension of the prolific Campbell Shear zone at depth below the Con Mine deposit (1938-2003), where 5.1 million ounces of gold was produced at an average grade of 16 g/t. The Con Mine Option (CMO) Property is under option from subsidiaries of Newmont Corporation and is acquirable by the Company upon fulfillment of certain conditions set out in the CMO Property agreement, as reported in the Company's news release dated November 22, 2021.
Chairman and CEO, Gerald Panneton, commented, "We are very pleased for the safe return of everyone in Yellowknife, as well as our geological team and drilling contractor. It has been a very difficult time for all residents of Yellowknife. We thank everyone that stayed behind to safeguard Yellowknife. As the deep drill hole has resumed, we expect the Campbell Shear to be intersected in the next 2 to 3 weeks with assays to follow."

BTV is featuring Gold Terra on the BNN Bloomberg Channel. Watch the latest interview with Chairman and CEO, Gerald Panneton at Gold Terra Resource Corp. on the strategy to discover gold on the Company's vast landing holdings covering approximately 900 square kilometers in the Yellowknife gold belt.
The focus of the 2023 drilling program is to expand the September 2022 initial Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") (see September 7, 2022, press release) of 109,000 Indicated ounces of contained gold and 432,000 Inferred ounces of contained gold between surface and to a depth of 400 metres below surface along a 2-kilometre corridor of the Campbell Shear. Refer to the October 21, 2022 technical report, titled "Initial Mineral Resource Estimate for the CMO Property, Yellowknife City Gold Project, Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada" with an effective date of September 2, 2022, by Qualified Person, Allan Armitage, Ph. D., P. Geo., SGS Geological Services, which can be found on the Company's website at https://www.goldterracorp.com and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Joe Campbell, P. Geo., Senior Technical Advisorfor Gold Terra is a Qualified Person within the meaning of NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical information contained in this news release.
About Gold Terra
The Yellowknife Project (YP) encompasses 918 sq. km of contiguous land immediately north, south and east of the City of Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories. Through a series of acquisitions, Gold Terra controls one of the six major high-grade gold camps in Canada. Being within 10 kilometres of the City of Yellowknife, the YP is close to vital infrastructure, including all-season roads, air transportation, service providers, hydro-electric power, and skilled tradespeople. Gold Terra is currently focusing its drilling on the prolific Campbell Shear, where 14 Moz of gold has been produced, and most recently on the Con Mine Option (CMO) property claims immediately south of the past producing Con Mine which produced 6.1 Moz between the Con, Rycon, and Campbell shear structures (1938-2003).
The YP and CMO properties lie on the prolific Yellowknife greenstone belt, covering nearly 70 kilometres of strike length along the main mineralized shear system that hosts the former-producing high-grade Con and Giant gold mines. The Company's exploration programs have successfully identified significant zones of gold mineralization and multiple targets that remain to be tested which reinforces the Company's objective of re-establishing Yellowknife as one of the premier gold mining districts in Canada.

In the year 2012 the transformation phase of NV Grassalco was started. By means of an adjusted strategy we clarified who we are, what we stand for and how we wish to realize our business goals.
During this year we worked on the internal reorganization. In the process several projects were prepared, which in the future must contribute to achieving a higher production for company, but which also contribute to the development of society.
The start of the exploitation of crushed stone (the production) and the selling thereof has meanwhile become one of the goals achieved. For this purpose a modern crusher plant was set up in the district of Brokopondo.
We intend to meet the demand for high-quality crushed stone both locally and internationally. One of the advantages of the crushed stone production of N.V. Grassalco compared to other producers is:
- Considerable costs are saved as no expenses have to be made to extract the material. After all, the material that will be processed to crush stone is extracted during the gold mining process of Rosebel Gold Mines N.V. and as a result is already above the ground.
- Tests have shown that in this respect good quality material is concerned.
- The existence of a complete infrastructure in the Rosebel Gold Mines N.V. area. The material only has to be delivered at our crusher location in Royal Hill, after which – after selection is done on the basis of the size of the stones delivered – the material can be further processed.
We bring prosperity to the surface.
Our operational management is based on the following core values:
Achieving a high level of results by full deployment of our capacities.
Fair accountability for our work.
Say what we believe and do what we say.
Encouraging and promoting innovation, personal and organizational development.
Openness, teamwork and mutual respect
High level of dedicated motivation.
Clarity in order to achieve effectiveness and efficiency in performing and producing.


The Copperwood project is located in the Upper Peninsula of the State
of Michigan some 30 kilometres southwest of the inactive White Pine Mine
where over 1.7 million tonnes of copper and over 4.5 million ounces of
silver were produced between 1953 and 1996.
Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Orvana Resources US Corp., Orvana
entered into long-term mineral lease agreements covering 936 hectares
within the “Western Syncline”, which is located in the the State of
Michigan, USA comprising the “Copperwood Project”. The Company also
completed option agreements on three other mineralized areas, which are
referred to collectively as the “Copperwood Satellites”. In addition,
the Company purchased the surface rights on about 700 hectares that
secured access to the Copperwood Project and additional space for
In February 2012, the Company announced results of an NI
43-101-compliant feasibility study, “Feasibility Study of the Copperwood
Project, Upper Peninsula, Michigan, USA” (the “Copperwood Technical
Production for the 13-year mine life will be about 1.5 million short
tons of copper concentrate averaging about 28,000 short tons of copper
per year at the 7,500 short tons of ore per day capacity. Copper will be
extracted by conventional flotation.
Optimization work continues further to the Copperwood Technical Report,
with a focus on additional metallurgical testing and mine design.
The Company has achieved all major permitting milestones in respect of
the Copperwood Project.
The Copperwood project is shovel ready and has the potential to be in
production as early as 2015. Orvana is continuing to investigate a
variety of possible options and financing alternatives to enhance the
value of the Copperwood Project to Orvana’s shareholders.

A simple statistic shows why mining group Rio Tinto has set its sights on becoming the next king of copper: an electric car needs 42kg of the metal — almost three times more than a traditional combustion engine vehicle.
This has helped dub copper “the metal of electrification” with demand expected to double to about 50mn tonnes annually by 2035 as the world transitions to cleaner energy for cars and industry, according to Wood Mackenzie.
However, the consultancy also forecasts demand for the metal is likely to outstrip supply as soon as 2026, prompting miners such as Rio to re-evaluate their long-term strategy for copper.
“I think there are new frontiers we’ve got to try,” Dominic Barton, chair of the Anglo-Australian group, told the Financial Times in Ulan Bator, the Mongolian capital.
Rio, which derives the majority of its profit from iron ore production, is considering more spending on exploration and processing of copper. It is also developing new technology to extract metal discovered decades ago but thought too deep or risky to mine.
Some of the world’s biggest mining groups, such as Australia’s BHP, Swiss-based Glencore and Newmont of the US, are also weighing up plans to expand their production of copper, which is used in car batteries, electric motors, charging infrastructure and underwater cabling to supply power to homes.
This has been a big driver of increased merger and acquisition activity this year, including deals such as BHP’s $6.4bn acquisition of Oz Minerals, Glencore’s thwarted bid to buy Canada’s Teck Resources and Newmont’s $19bn purchase of Australian-based Newcrest.
Rio is the world’s eighth-largest miner of the metal, behind copper giants such as US-listed Freeport-McMoRan and Codelco of Chile.
But of the leading groups, analysts say Rio is well positioned to expand its operations in the metal.
Rio forecasts it will meet a quarter of the global demand growth for copper over the next five years from its mines in Chile, the US, Australia, Peru and Mongolia.
Its Kennecott copper mine in Utah produces 150,000 tonnes a year. It also has a 30 per cent stake in the world’s largest copper mine, Escondida in Chile, which is majority owned by BHP with a 57.5 per cent holding. Japan Escondida has a 12.5 per cent stake.
Meanwhile copper production is expected to grow at its Oyu Tolgoi mine in southern Mongolia as the deep underground section, which has higher grades of ore than its open pit, is developed.
RBC analyst Tyler Broda said Rio’s expanding copper production would help to compensate for lower earnings from its iron ore division. Many analysts expect iron ore prices to fall in coming years.
By 2027, Rio’s earnings from copper could be about $6bn, up from $2bn this year, according to Broda’s model, largely because of expected increases in the price of the metal. By contrast, earnings from iron ore will fall to $11bn by 2027 from $16bn today, he said.
“The quality of Rio’s copper portfolio is improving, particularly as Oyu Tolgoi comes online,” added Broda. “It puts them in a bit better stead than some of their peers.”
However, Rio, like its rivals, is not immune to broader problems facing the industry. The Resolution copper mine in Arizona, a joint venture between Rio and BHP, has failed to gain permission to proceed despite attempts for years.
Analysts also say the number of projects at or near a final investment decision from mining companies is lower than historical averages as hurdles to developing new copper projects increase.
Eleni Joannides, copper research director at Wood Mackenzie, points to a plethora of risks, including new governments in important mining regions, potential changes to tax and royalties, and uncertainty over permits.
“Given the seven-to-10-year lead time it takes to bring on projects, mining companies need to continue bringing projects through the development pipeline,” she said.
Against this backdrop, Bold Baatar, the Mongolian who heads Rio Tinto’s copper business, said upfront costs would increase as miners have to work at deeper and deeper levels to find and extract higher-grade copper.
“Naturally, that better grade offsets the cost curve position. But nevertheless, the upfront capital is very hard,” he said.
At the Oyu Tolgoi operation, which is expected to deliver about half a million tonnes of copper annually by 2028, making it the fourth-biggest copper mine in the world, the company says block caving is crucial to profits.
This involves mining beneath the copper ore body, rather than adjacent to it and allowing broken ore to collapse into pre-constructed tunnels, which can then be extracted and taken to the surface.
“You’re trying to maximise the resource output, but it also enables a cheaper cost operation,” Bold said in an interview at the mine.
Bold is also cautiously optimistic about a newly developed hydrometallurgy process used to separate and extract the metal from other substances in the ground that Rio’s Nuton unit is trialling.
“Historically, low-grade ore bodies had very low recovery rates. Our technology teams have found a solution where we can achieve double the industry standard,” he said.
As global competition for dwindling copper resources grows more fierce, cash-rich companies, including Glencore and Newmont, have been targeting growth through aggressive M&A strategies.
But Barton, formerly a global executive at consultancy McKinsey, warns companies cannot rely on M&A alone to expand their copper operations. More creative thinking is needed longer-term.
“When you look at that pretty significant gap in demand versus supply . . . buying other companies is not going to solve that problem. You’ve got to find it,” he said.
On the exploration front, the Rio chair stresses the need to consider an increase in spending.
He also wants closer collaboration with smaller companies that typically carry out the early stage, higher-risk mapping and drilling that paves the way for the bigger groups to extract.
Another mining convention that needed challenging, he added, was Rio’s focus on large mining operations that were consequently among the 25 per cent lowest-cost producers, known as the first quartile mines.
“I still think the focus should be ‘first quartile’. But what about small? We can make them run pretty well, and then sure enough, you typically find more,” Barton said.
An additional problem in developing countries, highlighted by Mongolia’s Oyu Tolgoi project, is the pressure governments put on companies to develop processing facilities at mining sites, which could prove costly.
The Mongolian government wants Rio to build a copper smelter adjacent to Oyu Tolgoi, which the company is reviewing.
But Rio chief executive Jakob Stausholm hinted the economics of copper processing at the mine, including challenges around energy and water sources, mean it is unlikely to form part of its near-term plans.
“We will go far to try to solve things to the satisfaction of governments and societies. But of course, it also has to be profitable,” he said.

Salt Lake City, Kennecotts Mining 7-13-01
On Saturday Kris & her husband Eric and daughter Kimmy took me to Kennecotts Bingham Canyon Mine, the worlds largest man-made excavation. That was really fascinating. This mine is one of two man-
made objects on earth that can be seen by astronauts from outer space. The other is the Great Wall of China. The mine is more than 3/4
of a mile deep and 2.5 miles wide. The Sears Tower, at 1,454 ft tall, would only reach halfway up the mine.
When Daniel Jacklings Utah Copper Co. and rival Boston Consolidated Mining Co. began hauling ore that contained only 2% copper from Bingham Canyon, they were ridiculed by mining men of the era who thought they could never make a profit mining such low grade ore.
More copper has been produced by Bingham Canyon than any mine in history. Over 6 billion tons of material have been removed since open-
pit operations began in 1906. Bingham Canyon has been called "The Richest Hole On Earth."
Over 2/3 of all Utah mineral production has come from this mine. During WWII this mine produced over 1/3 of the copper used by the Allies. Bingham Canyon has yielded more than 16 million tons of copper, 21 million ounces of gold, 185 million ounces of silver and 740 million pounds of molybdenum.
Approx 500,000 tons of material are removed daily (about 1/3 is ore.)
It takes a ton of ore to produce 12 lbs of copper. Approx 310,000 tons of refined copper are produced annually, plus significant quantities of gold, silver and molybdenum.
We viewed the pit, saw the visitors center and watched a film. The big trucks & machinery looked tiny from where we were. The bucket on an electric shovel was a 98 ton capacity & loaded it onto trucks with 255 to 360 ton capacity. The trucks are ENORMOUSLY HUGE. The 6 tires on each truck were 40,000R57 steel belted radial tubeless. They were 11'8" high, with a tread width of 44" and a rim size of 57". The approx weight of one tire was 8,000 lbs and the tire pressure was 105 lbs per sq inch. Each tire lasted about 1 yr (50,000 miles) and cost $20,000!
After that we drove over to see the Great Salt Lake. Its the lgst lake west of the Mississippi, covering 2,100 sq miles with an avg depth of 13 ft. The deepest point is 34 ft. Only the Dead Sea has a higher salt content than the Great Salt Lake. The lakes salinity varies, but it's
been as high as 27%! And yes, you really do float in the Great Salt Lake!
Saturday evening I went to Alan & Wanda Akers house. She's also a board member. On sunday we drove to Park City to do some shopping & sight seeing. Park City is a rustic ski resort town with a lot of neat shops to browse in. It's also where the skiing events for the 2002 Olympics will be held.

They are however not fuel or metal sources. They are used in industries based on their physical and or chemical properties. Application in ceramic, construction, filtration, electronics, plastics, glass and detergents are some of the ways industrial minerals are used. To add on the categories of industrial mineral, organic materials and industrial by products are also included. To accurately determine an industrial mineral some steps and procedures are needed. Some of these tests include mineral processing trials, technical test work and end product evaluation. Due to the nature and type of mineral the evaluation procedures vary. Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the earth’s surface.
The deposits form a mineral package with the main interest in economic value. Minerals are not grown agriculturally or created artificially but occur naturally on the earth’s phase. All of these materials have different purposes that are important in promoting and boosting economic growth. The non- renewable resources include water, natural gas and petroleum. Mining has been long before much attention was paid to it like in recent times. The first is surface mining and the other is underground mining. While underground mining the overlying rock is left in place and the mineral is obtained or removed through tunnels.
Examples of the surface processes include water flow and wind flow. Another issue is contamination of soil, surface water and ground water. Chemical contamination can result to deterioration of health by locals. On top of this issue is the loss of biodiversity and formation of sinkholes. A coal fire is the natural burning of an outcrop or underground coal seam. Coal fires are not only an environmental disaster but also a health and safety hazard. The steps are four in number so as to enforce the stringent measures.
They include environmental impact assessment, development of environmental management plans, mine closure planning and environmental monitoring. It is an alkali metal that is highly reactive and flammable and is stored in mineral oil. Lithium compounds has several industrial applications. In terrestrial that is the earth’s surface it doesn’t occur naturally due to its reactivity. The price chart of lithium consumption according to benchmark intelligence has been on the rise.
The services offered by Benchmark intelligence services on lithium is a lot. Price data collection and company assessment is the specialty of Benchmark intelligence services. The raw materials particularly include lithium, cobalt, graphite and nickel.

Bioleaching is a method used for extraction of precious and base metals from hard to treat ore with the aid of bacterial microorganism. Bioleaching is used to recover copper, zinc, lead, arsenic, antimony, nickel, molybdenum, gold, silver and cobalt. Bioleaching is considered to be an efficient and an ecological friendly process commonly used by the miners as an alternative method to roasting or smelting, especially when there are lower concentrations of metal in the ore. Bioleaching produces no offensive gases as it is a hydro metallurgical form of treatment. The process involves the bacteria feeding on the nutrients in the ore there by separating the metal. The metal can then be collected from the bottom of the solution. Bioleaching is possible because of the unique microorganism’s ability to react and breakdown the mineral deposits in the ore. Bioleaching technology was first developed by Bactech Mining Corporation (REB gold Corporation) effective December 2010. The registered trademark for REB gold’s bioleaching technology is BACOX.
Bioleaching refers to the use of bacteria, primarily Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, Leptospirillum ferrooxidans and Thermophilic species of Sulfobacillus, Acidianus and Sulfolobus to leach metals of value such as Copper, Zinc, Uranium, Nickel and Cobalt from sulphide mineral ore.These bacteria tolerate acids and metabolize sulphur. The bacteria act as a catalyst to accelerate the natural processes inside the ore. The particular bacteria use a chemical reaction known as “Oxidation reaction” to convert metal sulphide crystals into sulphates and sheer metals.
Oxidation reaction is the reaction where a substance loses its electrons. The element parts of ore are separated into precious metals and the unused sulphur and other acidic chemicals. At the end of the process, adequate materials build up at the bottom of waste solution, which is then filtered to get to the pure metal. Only those ores that contain sulphur can only be bioleached, since the bacteria feed on sulphur. For certain types of metals, like Copper, bioleaching process is the primary choice as it is very low in terms of costs, even though it is a relatively slow process (compared to smelting). For certain developing parts of the world or with respect to some metals, this environment-friendly, effective and economical procedure offers an elegant alternative.
Several bioleaching projects are being carried out for bioleaching copper. About 20% of extracted copper comes from bioleaching. The most significant research is carried by the Chilean National Copper Corporation (CODELCO) and BHP Billiton. The proposal aims for the large scale build out of a plant for the bioleaching of copper concentrates. Similar large scale project using bioleaching is being carried on in Mexico and also in Chile.
Many countries can benefit from the bioleaching technology by increasing their efforts in this methodology. Most of the developing countries do not have the infrastructure or principal investment required for smelting. Especially those developing countries where the land has sufficient ore, can experience a dramatic transformation in their nation's economy with the adoption of bioleaching to extract essential metals.

Preliminary (Desk Study) Investigation
A desk study is is an essential element of any investigation and is often required as part of a planning submission for most development.
Published geological and hydrogeological maps are examined to determine the environmental setting of the site, and historical maps dating back to 1850 enable the land use history of the site and adjacent area to be determined.
If the site is located in a former mining area, a mining risk assessment will be included with reference to Coal Authority mining reports, detailed geological maps and mine abandonment plans.
Historical maps may identify former uses of the site which may potentially have resulted in contamination of soils or groundwater. Where this is the case a preliminary contamination risk assessment will be undertaken to identify whether contamination is likely to affect the development.
IDG undertake a wide variety of intrusive investigations which are tailored to the site and client requirements. The form the investigation takes is dependent on the focus of the investigation.
Generally, and investigation is designed to achieve a number requirements which may include providing information for foundation design, soakaway design, soil or groundwater contamination assessment, ground-gas assessment, determine shallow mining risk, locate mine shafts or wells. More details are provided below.
Geotechnical site investigations are undertaken to characterise the engineering properties of the ground and to provide information to inform cost-effective foundation design.
Key information includes the nature, distibution and depth of Made Ground, the depth an stength of natural deposits capable of supporting structures, and the presence of depth of groundwater.
A variety of in-situ tests are undertaken while drilling boreholes and in addition samples are recovered for laboratory geotechnical testing. Boreholes are often installed with ground gas and groundwater wells to enable future monitoring.
Large areas of the central and northern parts of the UK are lie over former coal mining areas where mine workings and mine shafts may be present. For sites within the affected areas a mining desk study comprising a detailed geological and mining review can be undertaken to assess the risk to proposed development.
Where potentially workable seams of coal are identified to be present at shallow depth from which coal may have been extracted in the past, and intrusive mining investigation will be undertaken using rotary drill holes to determine the geological structure below the site and to determine whether mine workings are likely to be present, and if necessary, the measures required to treat the workings and shafts.
Hazardous Ground Gas Assessments
Where preliminary investigations identify potential sources of hazardous gas such as landfill sites, thick deposits of Made Ground, shallow mine workings, volatile contamination or peat deposits, the assessment of the risk to the development of hazardous gas may be required.
This may include monitoring for methane or carbon-dioxide from installed boreholes and the preparation of a gas risk assessment report.
From a planning perspective, a contamination assessment may be required if potential contaminative uses had been identified during the desk study. Such investigations are often conducted using either machine excavated trial pit, or using small tracked percussive drilling rigs (window sample drilling rigs).
Samples of both soil and ground water will be collected and sent to independed UKAS accredited laboratories for chemical testing.
Chemical test results are compared to generic or site specific criteria to assess the risk to human health or controlled waters.

The Argo Mill was completed in the early 1900s, soon after the 10-year Argo Tunnel operation was completed. In its time, the state-of-the-art milling techniques of the Argo processed over $100 million worth of gold ore!
The prices per ounce ranged from $18 to $35, meaning the mill operations were hard at work each and every day. Various techniques were used to extract gold and other minerals, requiring different machines to process the ore diversity. Below, we explore the Argo’s machinery and how it aided its prosperity during the Colorado Gold Rush.
Exploring Milling Techniques – Amalgamation Table
Amalgamation requires mercury to extract minerals from the rock. To get the gold by itself, the mixture of mercury and gold is heated until the mercury vaporizes, allowing for nearly pure gold to be left behind.
This process had been used for centuries before the Colorado Gold Rush, and is still widely used in small-scaling mining worldwide. Efforts to eradicate this practice are in effect, as the high levels of toxic exposure affect both miners and the environment negatively.
Flotation cells are used in a variety of industries to this day. It is an effective concentration method used to separate finely ground materials. In a mixture of chemicals, water, oil and air, the metallic products would float to the frothy top, allowing any gold to be extracted.
The origins of this process were developed in the early 1900s in Australia, and have been refined for commercial use. Introducing flotation technology to the mining industry allowed the supply of low-grade ores to flourish, setting up the industry to prosper globally.
Concentrating tables utilized simple technology to separate gold ore from other minerals of the Rocky Mountains. The Argo Mill employed seven concentration tables, which vibrated the powered ore to separate heavy and light materials.
Also known as gold shaking tables, Arthur Redman Wilfley created the original patented design in 1896 in the U.S. Other variations of this table were created, but the purpose remained the same—it served as the last stop in the milling techniques of The Argo to recover valuable gold that may have been missed during the other concentration methods.
Cyanide Leaching Tank
This gold processing method allows for maximum recovery for many forms of gold ores. The cyanide dissolves the gold, which is then extracted from the solution by absorption via carbon or resin granules. Essentially, the cyanide turns the finely ground gold into a liquid form, allowing it to separate from other materials.
This process dates back to 1783, but wasn’t introduced to the gold mining industry until 1887.
Ore-Crushing & Grinding
None of these processes would have been possible without the machines helping turn the large mined rocks into processable sizes. This was done through the arrastra, the ball mill and the tube mill. Furthermore, stamps weighing over 1,000 lbs were used to pulverize these materials.
Most of these machines, especially the stamp mill, produced a deafening noise, affecting the miners manning the equipment forever. It was so loud, they called it Thunder in the Valley.
The Argo Mill’s three-decade reign is owed to the stellar milling techniques that processed gold ore from the many mining towns near Idaho Springs. They implemented the most recent technologies to yield the highest percentage of precious metals.
If you’re fascinated by the history of the Colorado Gold Rush, we can guarantee you’ll enjoy a tour of The Argo Mill & Tunnel. Experiencing the size of Idaho Springs’ mining operations and viewing the milling techniques firsthand will allow you to put yourself in the shoes of a miner in the late 19th century.

SWEDEN has been struck by one of its strongest ever earthquakes after a 4.1-magnitude tremor hit an underground iron ore mine earlier today.
Thirteen people were in the mine near Kiruna at the time but no one was injured.
The mine was quickly evacuated and all work stopped.
The quake, north of the Arctic Circle was just below the level of the country’s biggest ever of 4.3, which struck in Sjöbo, south of the country in December 2008.
Today’s strike hit the world’s largest underground iron ore mine which is more than a century old.
A spokesman for LKAB told Aftonbladet that the water level in the Kiruna mine was rising but pumps were working.
He added: "When ore is mined, holes and cracks occur which cause great stress (to the bedrock). This one happened at 1,108 metres below the surface."
The Norwegian Seismic Array NORSAR stated the earthquake was tied to the ore extraction activities.
The Swedish National Seismic Network said the earthquake shortly after 3am this morning had a magnitude of 4.1.
The Department of Earth Sciences at Uppsala University also measured the quake with a magnitude of 4.1.
Björn Lund, a seismologist at Uppsala University, said: "Even from an international perspective it's a large mine quake."
LKAB reported this morning that the quake caused rocks to crash into the mine and that there was still seismic activity at the site.

Several people in the city of Kiruna have said that they noticed a severe tremor in the ground.
The Swedish state-owned mining company LKAB is the largest iron ore producer in Europe.
Swedish officials plan to move the centre of Kiruna two miles to the east for safety reasons under a plan drawn up in 2004.

TOWER MOUNTAIN GOLD PROJECT
Notice to Readers:
The following discussion contains references to inferred mineral resources in several places. Inferred mineral resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined economically. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of inferred mineral resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.
The Tower Mountain Gold Project was acquired (100%) by ValGold Resources Ltd. (ValGold) in 2001. It was the subject of small drill campaigns by prior management from 2002 to 2005 which were used to compile an NI 43-1010 compliant inferred mineral resource of approximately 151,000 ounces in 2005 (see below). Further drill programs were completed in 2007 and 2011 and an airborne survey was flown in 2011.
ValGold's focus shifted during the period from 2002 to 2012 to the Garrison Gold Project, Venezuela, the Ukraine and other jurisdictions with Tower Mountain being addressed only periodically. The property hosts several identified gold zones which have largely been discovered from surface prospecting and are open on strike and at depth. Both lower grade bulk tonnage and high-grade vein hosted gold mineralization has been found.
ValGold is developing a computer-based three dimensional model of prior drilling on the property. A targeting analysis will also be completed integrating drill results, regional geology, geochemistry and geophysical results. These modern tools will be used to evaluate the property's potential and to coordinate future evaluation and drilling programs.
The Tower Mountain Gold Project is owned 100% by ValGold and is located approximately 40 km west of Thunder Bay, in northwest Ontario. The property is underlain by Archean-age volcanic and sedimentary rocks with a syenitic intrusive complex being an important focal point for the widespread gold mineralization. Exploration targets include both high-grade veins and large low-grade bulk mineable deposits and several zones of interest having been discovered in earlier drill campaigns. In 2011, ValGold drilled the 31-Bench Zone (2.00 g/t Au over 27.0m), 04-36 Zone (1.136 g/t Au over 16.5m), the 04-9 Zone (0.54 g/t Au over 18.0m) and the UV Zone (0.815 g/t Au over 73.5m). The U-V Zone contains an NI 43-101 compliant inferred resource of 151,000 ounces in a bulk tonnage model within 7.15 million tonnes at an average grade of .66 g/t.
Exploration work by ValGold on Tower Mountain began in November 2002 and focused on diamond drilling. Eight drill programs comprising 75 drill holes and18,700 metres were completed to August 2007. The majority of drilling was conducted in the U and V Trench areas (U-V Zone) and defined several mineralized structures. The most continuous of these structures is designated the Main Vein which dips moderately northeast and can be traced along strike for a minimum 400 metres. The Main Vein measures from 0.6m to 20.0m true width plunging steeply to the southeast. Drill intercepts from this zone returned assays ranging from 304.00 g/t Au over 3.0m in drill hole TM04-3 to 2.58 g/t Au over 55.5m in TM04-9.
Additional zones of high-grade mineralization have been found. The 04-31 Zone, located 800 metres southeast of the U-V Zone, appears similar to the U-V Main Vein. This target was tested with two holes, with the best drill intercept returning 21.14 g/t Au over 1.5m. A hole drilled in 1996 by Avalon Ventures Limited in the vicinity of the 04-31 Zone was orientated sub-parallel to the zone and returned an average grade of approximately 0.3 g/t Au over its entire 739 metre length.
The third high-grade zone identified is the 04-36 Zone located 400 metres southwest of the U-V Zone. Unlike the U-V and 04-31 Zones, the 04-36 strikes north-northeast. Two drill holes have intersected this zone; one hole with 41.35 g/t Au over 1.5m and a second hole with 5.31 g/t over 1.5m.
The following table summarizes the drill programs and highlights of the eight drilling campaigns conducted by Resources from 2002 to 2007.
Highlights of Tower Mountain Drill Intersections (2002 – 2007)
A NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate for the U-V Zone was compiled by Caracle Creek International Consulting Inc. of Sudbury, Ontario. The report dated February 9, 2006, is filed on SEDAR. The resource estimate for the U-V Zone consists of 151,000 gold ounces within a bulk mineable volume. The zone is open to expansion on strike to the southeast and at depth.
ValGold also completed an airborne geophysical survey over the property to complement the 2011 diamond drill program. The survey was intended to test for any geophysical signatures to the newly discovered gold zones and to determine the potential extensions of the zones beyond the drilled areas. The survey was not interpreted by prior management but is now under way.
The regional geology of the Tower Mountain property is analogous in many respects to the setting of world class gold deposits found in the Timmins and Kirkland Lake Camps in northeastern Ontario. The property is underlain by Timiskaming-like clastic sediments and felsic-to-intermediate alkali volcanics which are, in turn, intruded by felsic to intermediate stocks and sills. Numerous gold occurrences, spatially related to felsic intrusions, large zones of alteration and sulphide mineralization, and the presence of several small and large-scale faults indicate characteristics favorable for both bulk tonnage, disseminated and high-grade vein styles of gold mineralization.
Exploration by previous property owners identified numerous gold occurrences proximal to the contact of the Tower Mountain Intrusive Complex ("TMIC") and along the contacts of dykes radiating out from the TMIC. Broad zones of disseminated gold mineralization, often containing discrete high-grade vein material, are accompanied by up to 25% pyrite. Gold mineralized zones commonly are altered by quartz, ankerite, tourmaline, hematite, chlorite, epidote and sericite.
Several gold occurrences are also hosted by pyritic breccias containing up to 20% tourmaline. Grab and channel samples collected by previous operators returned gold values ranging from 1.0 to 28.0 g/t. Historical drilling identified several broad zones of anomalous gold mineralization including high-grade zones of up to 5.9 g/t Au over 11.0 meters.
2011 Drill Program
In 2011, ValGold completed two diamond drill programs, referred to as Phase 1 & 2 of totaling 29 holes over 4,680 meters. Based on these results (set out below), Tower Mountain has significant potential to host near-surface, large tonnage, low-grade gold mineralization amenable to open pit, bulk mining methods.
Phase 1 Highlights:
The Phase 1 program in February 2011, consisted of 2,100 metres of core drilling in 13 holes targeting the 04-36 Zone, 04-9 Zone, U-V Zone and the 31-Bench Zone.
Phase 2 Highlights:
Phase 2 in May/June 2011 onsisted of 2,580 metres in 16 holes. The program was designed to provide additional data and to better determine the dimensions of the wide intersection of low-grade gold mineralization encountered on the 31-Bench Zone in Phase 1.
The Phase 2 included 2 core holes targeting the near-surface and down-dip extension of the wide, low-grade gold mineralization beneath drill hole TM-11-64. Additional holes are then targeted the south-westerly extension of this wide gold zone outlined in Phase 1 (TM-11-64 to 71).
Preliminary definition of the 31-Bench Zone used the overall average value for each hole when assaying the entire hole and not applying a cut-off grade. For Phase 1 and 2, the average grade of each hole ranged from 0.2g/t to 0.4g/t Au over widths of 100 to 200 metres. Within this mineralized envelope there are better grading sections over significant widths such as the following:
The Sections were planned to be 60m apart and with 3-5 holes per section to define the 31-Bench Zone.
For a complete listing of the results, please refer to:
Drill Hole Location Database, Drill Hole Location Map (High Res) and Drill 31-Bench Zone Section 4 with significant assays (High Res).
Some Sections are composed of multiple intersections of significant gold values and more drilling is required to fully delineate the potential size of the Zone.
The mineralized intersections are reported as core lengths because, as yet, insufficient data is available to calculate true widths. A program of quality control and quality assurance of the sampling was undertaken with the insertion of blanks and standards in the regular stream of assay samples submitted for analysis. A check of the values did not find any irregularities in the Certificate of Analysis from Accurassay Laboratories.
On a property-wide scale the drilling has tested only a small portion of the peripheral extent of the Tower Mountain Intrusive Complex where previous operators discovered up to 25 occurrences with grab sample assays of greater than a gram. Detailed AEM results and ground geophysical surveys should help in targeting new prospective gold zones as one of the key factors in the 31-Bench Zone mineralization is pyrite running 3-10%.

Activities related to establishing a mineral deposit through geological, geophysical and geochemical methods. It is preceded by prospecting and followed by planning and development.
In mining geology " drilling is the process of penetrating through the ground and extracting rocks from various depths beneath the surface for confirming the geology beneath and/or providing samples for chemical analysis. "
Mining is the process of extracting minerals like gold, silver, copper, nickel and uranium and salt, potash, coal and oil formations etc. that concentrate naturally in the earth.

Many samples grace private collections and museums worldwide and serve as a source of garnet, wollastonite, talc, titanium, and other commodities derived from world-class mineral deposits.
Radioactivity in minerals are caused by the inclusion of naturally-occurring radioactive elements in the mineral's composition.
The degree of radioactivity is dependent on the concentration and isotope present in the mineral. For the most part, minerals that contain potassium (K), uranium (U), and thorium (Th) are radioactive.
