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

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).

Australia, the large Island continent, has been generously furnished with abundant natural resources. With these resources, not surprisingly the various kinds of industries utilizing these resources are emerged in Australia. One of the most important industries is mining. Australia has the world's largest reserves of several mineral commodities in both minerals and energy resources. The Mining sector includes all units mainly engaged in mining, including the mineral exploration, and the provision of a wide variety of services supporting mining and mineral exploration. The discovery of the gold in New South Wales and Victoria has forced Australia into the group leader in mining countries since 1851. This essay will focus on the mining in

Kalgoorlie Gold Mine Preamble 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,

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

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

It is predicted that Australia’s carbon dioxide emissions would double if these mines were to be built, from 357.5 tonnes to 750 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year. Additionally, many of these mines will require additional train rails to be constructed for the purpose of transporting the mined goods to proposed ports on the coast of

The McClean Lake mill, one of the largest 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.

The Brukunga Mine site located 4 km north of Nairne, and 40 km east of Adelaide in the Mount Lofty Ranges of South Australia mined iron sulfide minerals such as pyrite and pyrrhotite through open pit methods between the years 1955 and 1972. The mine was opened as a source of sulphur for the production H2SO4 to be used in the production of superphosphate fertiliser in 1955. After the closure of the mine in 1972 fresh sulfidic minerals were left exposed in the floor of the quarry, resulting in exposure to air, water and bacteria which oxidised the minerals and broke them down forming acid drainage. Acid metalliferous drainage (AMD), also known as acid mine drainage, is both an environmental and economic issue which impacts metal, coal and diamond

Mining is one of Canada’s primary industries and involves the extraction, refining, and/or processing of economically valuable rocks and minerals. Mineral products – including gold, silver, iron, copper, zinc, nickel – are critical to modern industrial society. Although mining has been key to Canadian settlement and development, in recent decades

Morragh Mine 1. Identify the hazards in the case, which can be environmental, situational, human or ergonomic. Environmental Hazards Mining is a dangerous occupation, and many of these dangers are associated with the environment in which the miners worked. One environmental hazard evident in this case was the dangers the miners encountered

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.
