The chief computer fellow here at InfoMine sent us all an e-mail listing the keywords used most frequently on Google to fiind mining-related information. He urged us to “employ” these keywords in tagging our writing. Ever disrepectful of official opinion & advice, I took a look at what comes up when you search with the top terms. [...]

More “letters to the editor” on Peru’s Minera Majaz mine project
Posted in About the news on October 19, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I long time ago I worked on the Eagle Mountain open pit mine project. This is a large worked-out open pit in the eastern desert of California. We sought to use the open pit as a new municipal solid waste site for wastes from Los Angeles. There was incredible local opposition. Apparently the area surrounding [...]
CIM blogs, wikis, and other silly ideas; stick to conferences in sunny places
Posted in About the news, Engineering - General, North America on October 19, 2007 | 1 Comment »
The Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (CIM) has just sent me a questionnaire. I filled it in and sent it off. But the questions disturbed me. Are they really contemplating doing some of the things they ask questions about? I surmise that the questions are asked because some CIM members are pushing the CIM [...]
Letter to the “editor.” More on miners and lawyers from Richard Shepard
Posted in About the news, Law (Mining) on October 19, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Think of the following as a letter to the editor. I “publish” it for the alternative perspective it brings to my postings on mines that loose in court. I have been wondering why they allow themselves to be dragged into court. This letter offers one possible explanation. One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and [...]
Political ignorance of uranium tailings stabilization is no excuse for not mining uranium; how Canada and the Inuit could benefit from USA experience

What with Nicolas Sarkozy getting divorced, bombs following Bhutto, China in a tiff over Bush being nice to the Dalai Lama, Turkey getting ready to invade Iraq, and the US Congress Republicans refusing to fund health care for kids (just how mean can you get?), it seems kind of anti-climatic to turn to Labrador’s Inuit government [...]

YouTube user JinHowHen uploaded this video: “Pioneer Coal Strip Mine in Stellarton, Nova Scotia. This 40 foot seam of coal is said to be the thickest in the world. The front end loader is a LeTourneau L950 and has a 18yd bucket. A D-11 CAT is pushing fill.”
Red Chris Mine stopped by Federal Court for failure to consult local peoples

I cannot resist a new investment rule. But first the story that justifies a new rule about investing in mines and mining companies. Imperial Metals Corporation is the owner of BCMetals Corp which in turn owns the Red Chris Copper-Gold property in northern British Columbia (BC). In 2005 the BC Ministry of the Environment gave [...]
Chinese mining royalties support opera; let’s do likewise in North America

Here at InfoMine, we receive daily invitations to look at things about mining. This is the one from PBS that accompanied yesterday’s batch: We recently produced a piece we thought you might like to post on Enviromine. It’s called “China: undermined” and looks at the social and environmental aspects of coal mining in the [...]

Here is a link to a great blog on mining. It appears to have been up since August 2007. I have just found it. I can’t see how to contact the blogger, but she writes stuff worth reading. I for one will keep reading.
