Major Mining In The Not So Cold North
Posted in Diamond, Global Warming, North America, tagged diamonds, Diavik, Ekati, Global Warming, ice roads, mining on March 28, 2012 | 4 Comments »
I think the business section of the paper is consistently the most interesting; there is always some article which catches your eye. Today’s point of interest has a mining basis which relates to one of the major Northwest Territories diamond mines, Diavik. In short, Rio Tinto is looking to sell its stake in the mine [...]
NDP on Oil Sands & Mining. What Thomas Mulcair says about coolies is not cool.
Posted in About the news, Oil sands, People, tagged NDP, Oil sands, tarsands, thomas mulcair on March 21, 2012 | 3 Comments »
Funny how we all know ever detail of the US Republican presidential hopefuls, yet know nothing about those seeking to head up the NDP, the official opposition party in Canada. Today at this link, I got a taste of who might become the next NDP leader and got a smattering of his attitude towards mining.
Mining Subsidence and Loss of Water to Mines

Clap! The sound a big volume of mining proceedings made when it landed on my desk this morning. Dropped from on high, this volume is the collection of technical papers from an International Symposium on closure of uranium mines at Wismut in Germany. If you haven’t heard of Wismut, then I suggest you get a [...]

Mike Gowan of Golder Associates in Australia has enabled me to post at this link a PowerPoint presentation of a talk he gave earlier this month in South Africa. At the link is the PowerPoint in pdf format. It is a big file and may take time to download, but persist, for the wait is worth the reward once you [...]
Pebble Mine Investing at Your Peril
Posted in About the news, Gold, Investing & Finance, Mining history, tagged invest, Pebble Mine on February 22, 2012 | 1 Comment »
Pebble Mine and hence Anglo American may not be a prudent investment at present. I have been wrong before in predicting the rise and fall of mine share prices, so please do not take the following as investment advice. See this for what it is: the ruminations of cantankerous old blogger.

Posted in About the news, Coal, Mining history, People, tagged Coal, lobby, santorum, tax deduction on February 21, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Here is one way to make money from mining that I have not hitherto thought of: do what Rick Santorum did.
