Blackhawk Mines Corp. Announces Big Bear Joint Venture Funding and Initiation of Field ... - 0 views

  •  
    OCALA, FLORIDA - AUGUST 4, 2011 (IMMEDIATE RELEASE) - Blackhawk Mines Corp., B06.F, WKN Number - A1H52M, ISIN Number - CA08265A1003, website - www.bentleyfairview.com is pleased to announce that the company has advanced the initial payment for the initiation of a work program on the Big Bear Mining Claims. This is the initial payment of a $10,000,000 Joint Venture entered by the two companies with the goal of proving the indicated gold resources on the Big Bear claims and if warranted, developing the Big Bear property to possible production. Siga's work program and the beginning of evaluation of the project are underway as of Aug 3, 2011. The work program will consist of extensive mapping of existing trenches, outcrop, oxidized zones and other previous workings including drill sites. Geochem sampling of large areas of the claim group along with sampling of all pits and trenches will be conforming with previous mapped and sampled areas which returned assays of greater than .01 oz/ton gold in the soil geochem. These areas of greater than .01 oz/ton gold covered a large area of the claim group and give rise to the anticipated total indicated contained ounces of gold which could range from 1 to 2 million ounces. The Big Bear project is currently controlled under an agreement to acquire 100 percent of the property. It is situated near Lucerne Valley, CA and currently consists of approx 1440 acres (approx 2.25 square miles) of mining claims. The Big Bear Claims are on the North eastern edge of the San Bernardino Mountains. The project area is known historically as the Blackhawk mining District has been a previous producer of gold and silver. The area is believed to contain economically viable gold mineralization, particularly at the current metals prices. Anticipated total contained gold based on existing reports and studies could be in the range of 2 to 3 million ounces.

Black Hawk Adventures : LL Bean celebrates centennial aniversary | Black Hawk Adventures - 0 views

  •  
    http://blackhawk-mines.com/2012/03/27/black-hawk-adventures-ll-bean-celebrates-centennial-aniversary/ In an attempt to entice families to spend more time outdoors and share their experiences, LL Bean launched their "Million Moment Mission" as their 100th anniversary celebration highlight. For every moment shared to others, Bean pledges to donate a dollar to the National Park Foundation until it reaches a million dollars. According to Bean, the concept is to get people to utilize online social media to share their experiences outdoors (via photos, video, writing blogs and commenting). The money from that will be raised will be dedicated to connecting the youth to their national parks. This was prompted by a new survey from L.L. Bean and the NPF shows that 60% of children are spending less than one hour outside per day, with 59% of parents admitting to spending even less time outside due to various constraints. The results are enough to concern them, noting that families tend to spend more time indoors and eventually miss out on the emotional and physical benefits of spending time outside. LL Bean is kicking off their centennial anniversary promotions through a mission with NPF, a new line of special outdoor gear and the debut of their 'LL Bean Bootmobile'. The Bootmobile is a boot measuring 20 ft in length and 13 ft in height, built to scale by a specialty fabrication store in Florida, named Echo Artz. It is basically a Ford F-250 Super Duty truck with a huge boot made of fiberglass atop it. LL Bean Bootmobile has 800 lb-ft of torque, 400 horsepower and can tow up to 4 tonnes. In fact, the shoe's laces consists of 12 strands of mooring rope braided together and can tow up to 106,000 pounds! According to them, they are hoping that people will spend outdoors and support national parks, and in effect, pass on a legacy to the next generation. Indeed, there seems to be no better way to sustain and protect the country's natural treasures than to inspire a new generation o

    Black Hawk Adventures : Military gear exhibit http://latest.blackhawk-mines.com/2012/03/27/black-hawk-adventures-military-gear-exhibit/ Defense industry firms are showing off their latest in military equipment in a 2-day Marine West Military Exhibition in Camp Pendleton with thousands of troops in attendance. There were hundreds of military gear and weaponry in exhibit inside the venue - items that can draw the line between life and death in a battle situation. There seem to be no sign that the defense industry is slowing down for companies, either small or big, have participated in the exposition. Knives manufactured by the Leatherman company are especially attracting attention - as there are not only buying military items available but also household items. QinetiQ, one of the participating defense contractors, demonstrated their latest technology in robotic-controlled arms and robots that aid in detecting roadside bombs (a weapon that accounts for a large number of injuries and deaths in Afghanistan). Military personnel can choose items that they think will be quite useful and this can eventually lead to a mass purchase by the whole department. This makes this exposition a yearly opportunity for defense companies to better their trade. The contractor also has a 10-pound gadget that soldiers can use in operating small unarmed air vehicles, called Tactical Robotic Controller. The lightweight armored vest from Elite Defense is alrea

The History of Bethel Park High School - 0 views

    http://www.bpsd.org/TheHistory.aspx

    The Bethel Park High School Class of 2009 will be the 100th Graduating Class of Bethel Park High School and its predecessor schools.  The following is a brief history of Bethel Park High School.
    When the Bethel Township School District began on June 21, 1886, education at that time was provided only to students in grades 1-8.
    It was not until 1906 that the school district converted one of the classrooms in a three-room school house on Mollenauer Road (Bethel School near Mine Three) into a high school.
    In those days, high school was a three year program and students only attended school for half days and for only one semester. The curriculum was basic; there were no electives and students purchased their own books. The high school program changed to a four-year program in 1914. Extra curricular activities began around 1920.
    In 1908 the first Bethel High School was erected at the corner of South Park Road and Park Avenue, a building which is still standing today. The original building held two classrooms and an auditorium, employed four teachers and was constructed for $6,400.
    The first Bethel High School graduating class was in 1909 with 15 students (10 girls and 5 boys) as members of the inaugural graduating class.
    In 1927 a 10-room grade school was constructed near the high school on Park Avenue (the current site of the Bethe

Five golden choices for investors - Kewanee, IL - Star Courier - 0 views

  • In the dark about how to invest in gold? Despite gold's increasing value and popularity, many folks don't know where to get started. To help investors who want to add gold to their portfolio, the World Gold Council highlights these five options to get you started: 1. Gold Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs): Since the launch of SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) in 2004, US investors have been able to buy gold on a stock exchange just like a share of a company's stock. 2. Gold mining stocks: With this option, you are investing in a gold-mining company, rather than gold bullion. 3. Gold Accumulation Plans (GAPs): Similar to a conventional savings plan, GAPs allow investors to set aside a fixed amount of money every month in order to purchase gold on each trading day during that month. 4. Gold bars: There are many different refineries that produce gold bars and most companies that sell gold will offer a variety of options to suit various budgets. 5. Gold bullion coins: Issued by governments around the world, gold bullion coins are a popular choice for investors.

Black Hawk Mining Articles | Preservation and promotion of mining ghost towns. - 0 views

  •  
    Haiti's copper and silver reserves in its hills are now up for an extensive exploitation by a Canadian corporation that has reportedly damaged the neighboring Dominican Republic.   Once this mining plan is authorized while Haiti is under foreign occupation, it could practically leave the country without its ecological, cultural and mineral wealth.   Moreover, concerns surrounding the mining venture have been raised as the operation calls for the construction of a deep-water port in the northeastern part of the country, posing a significant threat to their marine ecosystem.   The biggest water reservoir that is near the mining operations is at constant risk of cyanide contamination, adding to the reports that the firm has been previously accused of destroying Indian archeological sites by using dynamites on mountainsand.   Geologists of the United Nations have documented significant pockets of copper and gold in 1970s but at that time, foreigners were not willing to risk their money in an unstable and corrupt country.   Surprisingly, it was not after the 2010 earthquake that outside investment was encouraged and investors discovered a good opportunity. In fact, just 2 weeks after the catastrophe, a Canadian exploration company purchased all the stocks of the only Haitian company which has full permits in exchange for an area of land, practically appearing as a scam.   Three companies are already considering prospects of mining in Haiti but at present, only Somine has complete concessions to bring the metals out of the area. The said permits for 31 square miles were negotiated in 1996 during the presidency of Rene Preval and which required the company to hire Haitians.   According to the parties interested in the mining prospects: "What we're most excited about is that we found some silver which was never really realized before. It's the first silver discovery in Haiti. Part of the reason why it was never really discovered was that histor

    Russell L. Johnson. Warriors into Workers: The Civil War and the Formation of Urban-Industrial Society in a Northern City. New York: Fordham University Press, 2003. xii + 388 pp. $55.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-8232-2269-8. Reviewed by Bruce E. Baker (Department of History, Royal Holloway, University of London) Published on H-CivWar (September, 2006) Hawkeyes in War and Industry Russell L. Johnson's meticulously researched study is a very successful blend of two, or perhaps three, "new" kinds of history: the new military history, the new labor history, and the new social history. All of these "new" fields, of course, are as old as Johnson himself, but Warriors into Workers is one of the few monographs that attempts to bring these subfields together. By taking a detailed look at a city--Dubuque, Iowa--that was on the verge of major industrialization when the Civil War came along, Johnson examines the extent to which the experience of military service affected the transition of society from one based on farming, some mining, and commerce to one that would be increasingly dominated by industry in the postwar decades. The task he sets himself is to "[trace] the connection between the industrial workplace and the other great centralized, stratified, and authoritarian institution of the nineteenth century, the Union army" (p. 5). Using sophisticated analysis of the 1860 and 1870 censuses and thorough combing of local newspapers and a variety of local records, Johnson is able to present a fine-grained account of how Dubuque changed and how the war changed its veterans. Dubuque originated in the 1830s, after the Black Hawk War, as a lead-mining town, across the river from Galena, Illinois. By 1855, several railroads had made the city their western terminus, stimulating a brief but powerful commercial boom. The reason for that boom's brevity was the Panic of 1857, which brought Dubuque levels of business failure disproportionate to its size. The business collapse led to concer
