Byerwen mine worker Stephen, doesn’t want to be told where to go! ‘For me it will just put us all right behind. By the time you finish work at 6 and get back at 7 you’re already losing an hour of your day. You miss out on calling your kids before they get to bed. Fatigue is a massive issue in a mine. It’s something we need to control. But making someone drive after a 12.5 hour shift – that’s not controlling it. It’s politics. Look at what the day in the life of a miner is, it’s already hard enough as it is.’ Let’s not make Stephen’s day harder, risk his safety or take away his family time. The Government told us where to go. It’s time to tell them where to go. Stand with Byerwen and sign the petition to help protect mine workers’ rights to choose where they live. #miningqld #mininglife #miningindustry #miningtown #coalmining #resources #queensland #queenslandbusiness #qldbusiness #miningqueensland #glenden #miningjobs #supportbyerwenworkers #standwithbyerwen #supportqueenslanders

Widening the scope to draw more talent The Northern Miner https://lnkd.in/gq-QKvmv

It's summer, which means many of Colorado's rivers are filling up with rafters! Clear Creek is known for its fun and exciting rapids, especially considering the short trip from the Front Range up to Idaho Springs, home to many outfitters. Something that many rafters may take for granted is the water they float through. It was not always so clear, or so clean, as it is today. For much of its history, the area around Idaho Springs was known for its gold mines, not its white water; many mining and milling operations were adjacent to Clear Creek. Heavy metals and acidic water drained straight into it from mill and mine tailings, with little thought to how it might impact water quality. This changed in the 1970s, when the Clean Water Act and other Federal protections mandated standards for water quality, including treatment or mitigation of water flowing from or through mined areas. Today, waste rock piles like the one behind the rafters in the picture here are stabilized, treated, or relocated to keep the water clean.

https://lnkd.in/drAzk7e8 How to Determine and Economic Viable Mine (Overview)

Forced labor can endure for generations or a lifetime, shaped by the coercion type, social context, and perpetrator’s will. Bonded laborers may transfer their debt to their offspring, perpetuating the cycle. Recruitment for forced labor may be specific, such as for mining or construction, and can be long-term, short-term, temporary, or seasonal, like during harvest cycles. Descent-based slavery, tied to historical discrimination, can persist indefinitely. The duration is also affected by the perpetrator’s control and the victim’s ability to escape or seek help. #ForcedLabor #HumanRights #FreeTheSlaves #EndSlavery Source: https://lnkd.in/gFYN_Fyu

Inner workings of the mine fields 

The Porgera mine pit dewatering system for stage 5A is maintained by the dewatering unit. The water empties out to Yarik creek. Dewatering of the slopes of the pit is one of the major challenges of the mine. Wafi-Goldpu will be interesting though as its proposed to be a block cave mine.
