	Problems and Solutions
		The state was left with an estimated 2,500 miles of streams polluted by acid mine drainage; 250,000 acres of unreclaimed surface mine land; 100 million cubic feet of burning coal refuse; and potential subsidence problems for hundreds of thousands of acres.
		All mining operators are required to obtain permits from the Department and to post bonds to ensure reclamation of the mine site.
		Many of these abandoned mines are located in or near residential areas, schools and hospitals and have become dangerous attractions for children and dumping grounds for garbage.

		Weathering of pyrite might be expected to release sulfate ions and associated metals within the run-off waters down to the underlying aquifer, which is composed of a thick Cretaceous chalk formation.
		The objectives of this study were twofold: (1) to determine the possible role of the mine tips in the sulfate mineralization of the chalk aquifer and; (2) to assess the amount of waste material that can be leached and may supply sulfate ions to the water table.
		This carbon contribution was confirmed by the 14C activity that characterized the chalk aquifer waters at the upstream region of the mine tip and noticeably decreased downstream.

	MGA Mine District - Manor Branch
		The fourteen mile long Manor Branch is one of the more recently constructed lines on the MGA Mine District, having been built in 1984.
		This constant loading is due to a lack of storage place for the enormous amounts of coal this mine can produce, resulting in trains having to load continuously to avoid backing up and idling the coal retrieval process deep underground.
		A southbound PPLX drag is heading downgrade from the summit cut towards the (pre 1998) south end of Enlow Siding on Feb 17th, 1997.

	Lagerstätten Seminar Programm für die zweite Hälfte des WS 2001/2002
		The history of gold mining at Gebeit was marked by some difficulties beyond the control of the mine authorities.
		The main livelihood of the inhabitants of Gebeit was dependent on mining activities, since the area is a desert and has no cultivable land.
		Consequently, acid mine drainage (AMD) is generated from natural oxidation of sulfide minerals which occur in tailings disposal and waste heap exposed to air and water.

	Adams Mine Landfill
		On April 28, 1997 an Addendum to the environmental assessment was received which clarified that approval was being sought to landfill the South Pit of the mine only.
		Should the proponent wish to develop any of the other pits on the Adams Mine site for landfilling purposes, all appropriate environmental approvals would have to be acquired at that time.
		It is proposed that the site receive a maximum of 20 million tonnes of non-hazardous solid waste from Ontario over a 20 year period.

	Distribution of Cadmium and Zinc In Soil From Zinc Mining Activity : A Case Study of Zinc Mine, Mae Sot District, Tak ...
		The purpose of this research is to study the distribution of cadmium and zinc in soil from zinc mining activity.
		The analysis of soil contamination with cadmium and zinc was done in 3 areas: the upstream and downstream areas, located in the same watershed as the zinc mine, and the adjacent area outside the watershed boundary.
		It can be concluded that zinc mining activity distributes cadmium and zinc into the watershed, especially the downstream area, by water transportation.

	Queenstake Resources Ltd. - Home Page - Sun Aug 14, 2005
		The Jerritt Canyon Mines consist of four separate ramp-accessed underground mines, a 1.5 million ton per year capacity processing facility and a 100 square mile land package that represents some of the most exciting gold exploration ground in Nevada.
		Current reserves, together with measured and indicated resources and other quantified mineralized material adjacent to existing mines, that the company is confident can be brought into reserve status, are sufficient to maintain production for a period estimated at between five and seven years.
		Total cash costs are expected to decrease to an amount of less than $300 per ounce over the next 24 months as the head grade of the mill feed-stock is increased by sourcing ore exclusively from underground, not having to blend with lower grade surface material as is currently practiced.

	Caving and Potholing in the Peak District National Park (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		One thing Derbyshire is rich in is old mines and many of the modern show caves are partly natural and partly mined.
		Some of the old mines are accessible to potholers if they gain permission but most are quite dangerous because of the miners' habit of stacking up tons of waste rock (known as 'deads') above wooden stakes (known as 'stemples').
		These include Oxlow Cavern, part mine and part natural, and Giant's Hole, where access was once via a difficult sump until a local farmer decided to open it as a show cave and blasted an entrance passage before he was dissuaded from the project.

	ENVIEV49-e (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		An Oracle poll on the Adams Mine project prepared for David Ramsay, MPP for Timiskaming—Cochrane, clearly indicates that in the northern section of Timiskaming, which is Kirkland Lake, Larder Lake, and Englehart, 62% of respondents to the poll were opposed to the Adams Mine proposal.
		The watershed of the Adams Mine is the same part of a water source that supplies the Timiskaming Reserve, as well as other communities between the two sites.
		We were directed by the public liaison committee to study the Timiskaming district in particular because the proponent did not feel a need to do it at the time.

	FLUORESCENCE AND LACK THEREOF IN ZIRCONS FROM THE FREEMAN ZIRCON MINE, ZIRCONIA DISTRICT, NORTH CAROLINA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Large euhedral to subhedral zircons, averaging 0.25-0.64 cm in diameter, occur in a zoned syenitic-pegmatite near Zirconia, North Carolina, and were mined for zirconium in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
		Zircon concentrates taken from four sites at the Freeman mine dump have been classified as either strongly or poorly fluorescent under shortwave UV light.
		Fluorescence activation in zircon has been attributed to high concentrations of U, Hf, and REE (particularly Dy), and these two distinct groups of highly fluorescent and poorly fluorescent zircons provide an opportunity to correlate fluorescence with a number of variables.
