Q: If the ministry is aware of the urea fraud situation? If so, can the ministry say estimate the proportions of the problem (% of illegal trucks)?

The Kalgoorlie Mine, also known as the Super Pit due to its distinctive depth of 600m ( Figure 1.), is a mine situated in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia that primarily extracts gold. Often considered to be the largest open-cut mine in the nation, Kalgoorlie produces a tremendous 22 000 kilograms of gold each year. The gold rush that struck Australia during 1851-1914 was primarily a result of the discovery of many mining sites like the Kalgoorlie gold mine. The finding of the Kalgoorlie mine by Paddy Hannan, Thoman Flanagan and Daniel Sheal attracted several thousands of other prospectors (mineral explorers) and created a “ rush” to whoever would quickly become prosperous from mining gold at Kalgoorlie. As such,

Cadia Holdings Pty Ltd and Newcrest Operations Ltd (NOL) owned land in New South Wales, granted to them by the State of New South Wales under the Mining Act 1992 (NSW). From July 1998 to March 2008, Cadia conducted mining operations in which it recovered minerals including copper and gold, and paid royalties to the Minister pursuant to the Mining Act 1992 (NSW). The Minister referred to the Case of Mines[1], claiming that the mine owned by Cadia was a “royal mine” containing gold that belonged to the Crown prerogative, and as a consequence the copper was also the property of the Crown. Cadia

The Olympic Dam Mine is notorious for being one of the biggest mines in South Australia, and the wide range of minerals obtained from the mine. From miners, to engineers, the Olympic Dam Mine has created many jobs for South Australians. As well as this increase, South Australia and Australia have benefited significantly from the mine economically, and created many bonds with other countries through trading. The mine has recently created plans to expand and, although the plans may have been controversial throughout South Australia, this initiative could not only help South Australia, but the world.

The mining has become a controversial topic due to the mass publicity regarding the potential danger of nuclear power and uranium mining, not to mention the objections by some Indigenous groups. The controversy is significant

Denison Mines Corp. has discovered that its 60 % owned Wheeler River property in Northern Saskatchewan, has a higher potential than it was known to have earlier. Within this property, the Phoenix deposit already has a 70.2 million pounds U3O8 of indicated reserve. Now the new found inferred mineral resources of 43.0 million pounds U3O8 at the Gryphon Deposit means a significant increase in the potential of the Wheeler River property for Denison Mines. This finding makes Phoenix and Gryphon the most valuable asset for the company when taken together as it makes the property one of the largest sized resources as well as a high grade resource at the same time.

Blue Sky Mine was composed my midnight oil to reveal the damaging effects of mining and as said

There are over 404 different mines in Australia. Of that 404, 173 mines are located in Western Australia. These mines vary in sizes, substance being mined and in many more ways. One of the many mines in Western Australia is the Super Pit. This specific mine is 600 meters deep and is located in the Kalgoorlie country town. The town was founded in 1893 during the Yilgarn-Goldfields gold rush with a population of 31,107 people. The mine is organised and owned by the company Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines (KCGM).

I am interested in CAMP because I have practically grown up in a hospital. My Mom, Sharon Fields, has worked in the White County Medical Center- and now Unity Health in Searcy -for 35 years. I can remember being a small child and coming into the ER to visit my mom. Sometimes the doctors and nurses would give me stickers; one of which has been stuck to the back window of my Mom's car since I was five. It wasn't just the stickers though. I got to see patients at their worst, and then I got to see the entire staff step up to help. Did the nurses know the wounded man coming in on a stretcher? No, they didn't, and yet they still helped everyone and anyone who came through those sliding doors needing help. I want to be that kind of person, a person

The Mining Act, 1990, has a significant role in protecting Ontario’s vast mineral resources and brings forth a set of policies in which promote responsible mining development and extraction. The provincial government plays an integral role in the provinces mining industry because the Act requires that all mineral claims must be recorded and accepted by the Crown which from then the two parties discuss a lease fee for the mineral rights. After locating a mineral claim in an area deemed open by the Crown, there are two options available for leases, the first being “The holder of a mining claim may elect to apply for a lease of the mining rights only.” (Government of Ontario, 2017), while the second option allows both the surface rights and

economic, social and environmental responsibilities, while making a positive and lasting contribution to the environment and communities in which it operates. However there is also a large amount of informal alluvial diamond digging – which is not currently regulated and therefore neither is its impact on the environment. This document, as the majority of diamond mining is formal, focuses on the environmental impact on this sector.

South Africa is world leading in mining. The discovery of minerals in this country has attractive many investors and has been the backbone of the country’s economy – leading to many benefits that the people of South Africa could take advantage of. However, not all the benefits are shared equally, and there is a lot of exploitation surrounding the mining sector. This essay will be discussing the issues surrounding the labour exploitation in the mines and the resulting consequences.

The mining industry has seen an explosive growth from the past few decades. It has played an important role in economic growth, infrastructure development and a raise in the living standard of the whole world. According to the Australian National Accounting System, the mining sector has made contributions of 9.8% GDP growth to the Australian economy between 2008 to 2009 (Australia Bureau of Statistics, 2012). However, the mining industry has caused many environmental issues such as adverse effect to air, land and water quality and continues to affect global environment as a whole. According to the World Health Organization, it evaluated that 25% of worldwide death are directly associated with environmental pollution (Blacksmith Institute, n.d). This essay will outline the environmental issue raised by the mining industry with pinpoint focus on the effects to air, water and land. It will also provide strategies for mining companies to improve the environmental conditions.

Space, an unknown and endless abyss full of mystery and wonder. A beautiful domicile that, as humans, peaks our curiosity. As the saying goes, “curiosity killed the cat”, when it comes to traveling to space, humans are slowly dying from their curiosity. Space is a dangerous place, full of mental and physical altering effects. Astronauts, the deep sea divers of space, must train for years to get use to the effects of space. Space is virtually the exact opposite than the home we know as Earth. Humans, along with all organisms on Earth, were created on Earth for Earth and when we dare explore a place without the same environment, we are asking for complications. When a human is exposed to the vacuum of space, we die within minutes. Over the years scientists have developed technologies that help protect us against the deadly features of space, but in reality it only shields us from about fifty percent of all of the harmful effects. Weightlessness changes us physically, while isolation alters us mentally. Space changes the life of any human including the way we travel from place to place, our sleeping and eating habits, and the amount of exercise needed. Traveling to space has many effects on humans both mentally and physically, which is why they endure intensive training and need technology to survive, but even so, die slowly in its clutches.
