. Due to measures that prevent women from engaging in some of the roles in the mining industry, women’s roles in gold production have become marginalized, less lucrative, and are often overlooked (Hinton et al. 2003). In the Talensi mining industry, the existence of gender-specific jobs and the perception of the men that women should perform roles the men do not want to perform contributes to women’s marginal roles and affects their inability to realize the full benefits of the industry. According
SMALL-SCALE MINING (Lives at risk in the Philippine Gold Mines) INTRODUCTION Gold is the number one mineral produced by the Philippines in value terms. Although total local production was low relative to world production, it ranked 2nd to Africa in gold production per unit land area in 1988 and ranked 29th as top gold producer in 2002(Israel and Asirot 2002). In the year 2002–2007, the Philippines’ gold production increased by 8.2%. This contributed an average of 2% gross domestic product (GDP)
faced with the new Ontario mining regulation. The Mining Industry Regulations and benchmarks are diverse for each industry, and are regularly particular to certain business exercises (Government of Canada, 2014). Various business sectors have criticized government regulations and their restrictive

Examples of these types of minerals are coal, ores and precious stones. The mining industry also broadly covers quarrying and well operations. The sector comprises two basic activities: mine operations and mining support activities.

Hennessey Gold is Money but Water is Life The search for new mining locations around the world has been significant to many mining corporations in the United States and Canada. Since the areas within these boundaries are being used up or are extremely expensive, many have taken their operations to developing countries in Latin America. El Salvador is one of the next countries that Pacific Rim, a Canadian-Australian firm that produces gold and copper, is looking to open mines in. Specifically, a gold mine

to perpetuate hostilities, it is most commonly associated with columbite-tantalite, cassiterite, wolframite, and gold ore, collectively known as 3TG minerals.i These ores, used to produce tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold, respectively, comprise a multi-billion dollar market fueled by the growing demand for electronics and other products related to the technology industry. The 3TG group is essentially vital in every modern electronic device: phones, computers, pacemakers, light bulbs, batteries, generators
The Foreign Miners in the American Gold Rush One Saturday night, a mob of masked men, who numbered forty to sixty, approached a small house. Arriving at the house, they dragged two slumbering men from their bunks and hustled them from the house, without even allowing them to put on their clothes, and started to kick and beat them.
