Going for gold: coin marks hope of bringing Welsh mine, Clogau St David's, back from the dead.
Going for gold: coin marks hope of bringing Welsh mine, Clogau St David's, back from the dead.
Clogau St David's, once Britain's richest goldmine, was considered exhausted. But miners are working there again.
Clogau-St. DavidÕs gold mine in Gwynedd, north Wales, which has operated since 1854 and is renowned for producing the gold for the wedding wrings of generations of the royal family. Alba Mineral Resources took over the mine in 2018 and have used new technology to successfully mine new gold for the first time in over quarter of a century.
To mark the milestone, Alba have minted three 1oz Tyn-y-Cornel gold coins which will be auctioned online on 3 April.

'I do an illegal job, stealing': the women forced to scavenge in Bolivia's tin mines
Some work underground, others pick over tailings; all are running huge risks. But in the town of Huanani, the mines are the only way to support a family.
A growing number of women in Bolivia have resorted to mining on an informal basis to provide for their families. Some are widows whose husbands died in mining accidents or of related health problems; some are single mothers; others are wives of men who are alcoholics and subject them to domestic abuse. Some women bring their children with them to work to make more money.
Women who cannot find work often resort to scavenging minerals discarded by miners.

Small birds prove their have amazing food memory

Two species of garden birds recall what they have eaten in the past, where they found the food and when they found it, according to a new study.
And people who leave out feeders for the two, both blue and great tits, are likely speeding their development.
It is said to be the first experiment of its kind to involve wild animals.
It found he two species demonstrated 'episodic-like' memory to cope with changes in food availability when foraging.
Episodic memory involves the conscious recollection of personally experienced events.
Many psychologists believe that episodic memory is uniquely human but a growing body of evidence suggests that many non-human animals possess episodic-like memory.
UK researchers from the University of Cambridge and the University of East used 94 wild, free-living blue and great tits to take part in a series of memory tasks.
These tasks involved automated food containers and a new software program that created unique experiences for individual birds, and tracked each bird's behaviour after they formed a memory.

Battle lines redrawn as Argentina's lithium mines ramp up to meet electric car demand.
Mining companies accused of colonial 'divide and rule' tactics in their pursuit of the precious metal that lies under the countryÕs salt flats.
The Salinas Grandes is the largest salt flat in Argentina, a biodiverse ecosystem stretching 200 miles and sitting within the lithium triangle along with parts of Chile and Bolivia.
Lithium, a silvery metal known as white gold, is an essential component of mobile phone and electric car batteries; its global demand is predicted to rise more than fortyfold by 2040. But its exploitation has also fuelled a moral debate, one that pits the green energy transition against the rights of local and Indigenous peoples.

The modern-day gold diggers of California: 'It doesn't take much to catch the fever'
Floodwater from a rainy winter and a tropical storm have led to a mini gold rush up and down the state.
California's gold rush lives on with small-scale prospectors and miners. The Gold Diggers club has 10 mining claims filed with the Bureau of Land Management, and it lists rules members must follow: no heavy equipment, for example, and any historic artifacts should remain untouched. A sense of old-school mining culture shines through; the names of the clubÕs claims range from "Wild Bill" to "Black Jack" to "Hot Diggity".

Using volcanic undersea areas for green enery harvesting

Geothermal 1
Ref 15588

See Ferrari text
Pictures must credit: CGG
A plan to access a new source of green energy laying at the bottom of the ocean, has been unveiled.
Global tech and science company CGG wants to use offshore underground energy known as geothermal.
This is produced by volcanic areas under the sea where chambers of fiery-hot magma, effectively molten rock, is located.
These offshore areas could be harvested for freshwater, hydrogen, and ammonia, collectively creating an alternative set of rapidly scalable green energy sources.
Past attempts to tap into this using drilling has proved expensive and haphazard
But the new plan involves capturing the steam given off by these undersea volcanic areas and use it to power turbines and electrolyze it to produce green hydrogen which can also be converted to ammonia.
This can then be shipped for sale with fresh water condensed from the steam left over as another by-product.
The waste geothermal liquid known as brine is rich in nutrients for ocean wildlife and could be used for an enclosed, controlled fishery system..
Picture supplied by Ferrari
OPS: A diagram of how the system could work. The red vessel is drawing uo steam from the ocean floor in an active volcanic area to produce hydrogen, ammmonia and fresh water. Also linked to it is a fishery where nutrient can be piped to. The larger blue ship is transporting the hydrogen and ammonia to the shore.The smaller blue ship is unloading carbon dioxide for storage in obsolete magma chambers.

The modern-day gold diggers of California: 'It doesn't take much to catch the fever'
Floodwater from a rainy winter and a tropical storm have led to a mini gold rush up and down the state.
California's gold rush lives on with small-scale prospectors and miners. The Gold Diggers club has 10 mining claims filed with the Bureau of Land Management, and it lists rules members must follow: no heavy equipment, for example, and any historic artifacts should remain untouched. A sense of old-school mining culture shines through; the names of the club’s claims range from "Wild Bill" to "Black Jack" to "Hot Diggity".

Brazil's battle to reclaim Yanomami lands from illegal miners turns deadly
Fatalities underline dangers in government efforts to evict thousands of miners who have devastated Indigenous territory.
Brazil's battle to reclaim its largest Indigenous territory from tens of thousands of illegal miners has taken a deadly turn after at least five people were reportedly killed during 36 hours of violence in the Amazon’s sprawling Yanomami territory.
The bloodshed began on Saturday afternoon when masked illegal miners allegedly launched an attack on a Yanomami village called Uxiu.
The Yanomami leader, Júnior Hekurari, said he had received reports that between 15 and 20 heavily armed miners had arrived by boat and opened fire on locals. Three Yanomami men - aged 36, 31 and 24 - were shot. The oldest, an Indigenous health worker named as Ilson Xiriana, died early after being shot in the head.

'We need the jobs': Cumbrians divided over new coalmine
Despite positivity in Whitehaven, near the former Marchon chemical plant, proposals still cause worry.
Most people in the town are in favour of the mine. They have been waiting for the news of the go ahead for what seems a long time, people repeatedly said.
But there are dissenting voices. "It's not right," said Margaret Telford, a retired shop worker. "Every family round here has lost a lot of people to mining and apart from that, it’s not good for the world, is it?"
Even people who have lost relatives to mining said they wanted the government to give the go ahead.
Jean Brayton, 80, is on her way to her karate class and is very much in favour of the mine. "My dad worked down the pit. I lost two uncles. It has always been a mining place. But we need to be self-sufficient."
