2010 Mining Salaries from E&MJ
Posted in Jobs and Salaries, Open Pit, Underground, tagged E&MJ, journal, salaries on September 11, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Engineering and Mining Journal (E&MJ) is published by Mining-Media. It arrives by no action on my part on my desk. There it joins the pile of magazines on mining that fall like leaves in autumn. Being a magazine junkie, I flip through them all. I avoid the articles on new trucks–those articles are surely planted [...]
The Faces of Canadian Mining
Posted in British Columbia, Open Pit on July 24, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
With the weekend about to begin here are links to two extremes of Canadian Mining: NWCC School of Exploration & Mining which surely represents the best and most positive aspects of Canadian mining Global day of Action Against Open Pit Mining which would be sad and infuriating if it were not so funny. I leave you [...]

Why go to the Summer Palace when there are five mines to see before you die?
Posted in Coal, Enviromental, Gold, Mining history, Oil sands, Open Pit, Tailings, Uranium, tagged Azusa, cannon mine, copperopolis, Fort McMurray, Impala Plats, mining, Oil sands, Royal Mountain King, Tailings, Uravan, wenatchee on February 15, 2009 | 3 Comments »
The bookstores I wondered into here in southern California all have many books that describe the things you must do and see before you die. Kind of cloying, but a reflection of the money and habits of old people like myself. My host on Friday night admitted that she had never seen the Four Corners area [...]
All Aboard: Google travel to mines and mining worldwide

Why go to a crowded ariport? Why sit in a small seat next to a fat man who spills over his seat into your space? Why travel to exotic places, when you can see the wonders of mining via Google? For the best travel guide, go to Google Sightseeing which: “takes you on tour of the world [...]
Arid mining in Tucson and Cripple Creek: of plastic water bottles and copper-laden cell phones
Posted in Copper, Open Pit, tagged AngloGold, cell phones, Copper, Cripple Creek, I10, mining, plastic water bottles, Rosemont Mine, Tucson on July 1, 2008 | 6 Comments »
Tucson is not a particularly pretty town. In mid-summer heat the dusty roads and look-alike shopping centers shimmer and visually pollute your view. Yet look to the north and the mountains are perfect. Or go out east or west of the town and just before, or maybe well after, your patience with more ugly houses runs [...]
GoldSim and Marillana mine modeling: complex but satisfying
Posted in About the news, Australia and New Zealand, Hydrology and hydraulics, Open Pit, Reclamation on August 22, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
A webinar is when you log your computer into another website and make a phone call to a conference call. Then the webinar presenter talks via phone and shows figures on your computer’s screen. Much easier than fighting security at the airport to get to a strange city for a conference. But now I have [...]
Maryland coal mine slope stability accident a wake up call to ignore political correctness
Posted in Coal, North America, Open Pit on April 20, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
It is hard to believe that a 23-meter high wall of an open pit coal mine in Maryland can just fail and “cover” two miners. Is this another instance of human hubris? I know the old adage that a slope is stable on the morning of the day it fails. But was there no monitoring [...]
Mine containment zones could save millions and the groundwater
Posted in About the news, Hydrology and hydraulics, Open Pit, Reclamation on April 18, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
The California State Water Resources Control Board by Resolution 92-49 adopted a policy that an area of contaminated groundwater where cleanup cannot be achieved may be designated a Containment Zone. To date no mine in the state has been designated a containment zone, but such a designation would bring clarity and closure to many of [...]
