There were other concerns, she said. On four occasions this year, complaints about hazards were lodged, according to federal records. Those complaints resulted in a single citation. But Ms. Smith said the fact that miners had repeatedly raised concerns was unusual, especially at a relatively new operation. Gas leaks are not rare in underground mining; however they do not usually cause as mugh deaths as blasts or cave-ins. Bruce Dial, a former federal mine inspector, said it was possible that the minors had encountered carbon monoxide that had lingered for years from previous mining operations. Another possibility, Mr. Dial said, was that carbon monoxide released by the mine's own operations may have built up. http://blackhawk-mining.com/2013/11/26/cause-of-gas-leak-that-killed-2-colorado-miners-is-sought/

A recent survey conducted in Australia shows that although their mining sector is enjoying a boom, services sector is in an opposite condition. Most of the contraction was caused by a decline in new orders among the various players in the services sector while sales and prices also fell.

"All of the respondents were involved in perpetrating a systemic massive fraud on Alberta and other investors, involving a complicated web of domestic and offshore corporate and other entities, bank accounts and offerings," the commission said Friday. "Investment fraud is reprehensible and completely unacceptable capital-market misconduct; instances of fraud in the capital market severely threaten the public's confidence and sense of fairness in the whole of our capital market." The case centres around a now-defunct company called Arbour Energy, which the ASC says illegally raised $45.5 million from investors. Arbour was led by Dennis Morice, who, according to the ASC decision, considered himself a "bit player" and "cog" in a scheme led by Milowe Brost and Gary Sorenson - two men charged in a separate high-profile alleged Ponzi scheme in 2009. Morice faces the smallest penalty of the three men - a $150,000 fine, an order to pay $50,000 to cover the cost of the investigation and hearing and a variety of bans. Arbour itself faces no financial penalties, but it's been barred from trading in and purchasing securities, among other things. In its decision, the ASC said Brost's misconduct was "the most egregious" of the three men. Brost led the Institute For Financial Learning, which he claimed was an "information club" but the ASC contends was really used to sell investors stock in Arbour and other entities connected to Brost. Brost has been fined $3 million and ordered to pay $85,000 in costs, the second-highest fine against an individual in ASC history. IFFL must pay back $10 million of the funds it gained from the fraud and pay $85,000 in costs. "We conclude Brost has not recognized the seriousness of his misconduct and the devastating consequences that he caused to Alberta and other investors. These circumstances heighten the need for severe sanction," the ASC panel said in its decision. Sorenson led a private Alberta junior mining company called Merendon, whi

Black Hawk Mines Bulletin is all for the preservation and promotion of mining ghost towns that are widely being neglected across the world. We support historical sites and promote the rebirth of current mining ghost towns that still have a lot of potential in generating income and historical value. This blog regularly publishes news and details regarding mining-sites-turned-ghost-towns to educate people interested in history and to gather support for our cause from different parts of the world. Our group is presently working alongside other associations to keep ghost towns, like the BlackHawk, Colorado, in the map; perhaps, even to try and make them a tourist spot.
