“Geology” Cake Originally uploaded by Gurpreet Ghuggi A short posting to link you to the Globe and Mail article that puts the salary of some starting geologists in the mining industry in Canada at above $100,000 a year.

Presumably these bishops have the support of the Pope? In so tightly controlled an organization, it is hard to believe they speak without official sanction. This is part of a longer report:
Mining Operations on Planet X. How to distort the truth and scare the public.
Posted in About the news, Community relations, North America, tagged 1972 Mining Law, david blades, Environmental Working Group, Huntington Beach, mining, photo, planet x on March 12, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
David Blades at my take on photography post this photo called Mining Operations on Planet X. Colorful, but strange. Maybe that is the point. From what I can tell, this is not a mine, but that is not the point. Scare tactics is what appears to be at play here. Much like those reports all [...]

Nine lives gambled and lost on the dice of three numbers: 900; 1,640; or 4,512. These are the three dice-numbers that are at the center of Crandall Canyon’s Murray Energy versus Agapito versus MSHA debacle that turned to tragedy.

Haul truck, ASARCO mine, Sahuarita, AZ Originally uploaded by free2camp19 Here is a link to a part of YouTube I will visit only once: umpteen short videos of mining trucks. Kind of dull I thought.
