The pioneers in progressive mine rehabilitation is one of the greatest assets in departmentalizing mining stereotypes. Environmentally friendly procedures and more and more miscellaneous ecosystems are becoming the standard as companies regard local ecosystem rehabilitation as a part of the on-going mining process. To better understand these progressive rehab techniques, here are some words from Idemitsu Australia Resources Corporate Sustainability and Environment Manager Dr. Jan Green and Parsons Brinckerhoff Team Manager, Alex Cockerill. "There's an increasing focus on establishing complex and diverse natural ecosystems as part of mine rehabilitation," she says. "With progressive rehab, it takes a much shorter time after the mine closes before the original flora and fauna can take over naturally." Her existing project is a 6- to 7-year-old mine that will sooner or later go back to a box gum woodland with white box gum trees. She explains that one of the biggest challenges is keeping up with the mining as it happens. A strict schedule of clearing between summer and autumn allows species, for example, to nest in the winter and raise young in the spring. Cockerill says the team salvages hollow logs and timber for the provision of supplementary fauna habitats within the rehabilitation, and collects the seeds of local species of plant from the adjoining forest for propagation in a nursery. By means of local species, it provides them a better chance of growing for the reason that the topsoil is recreated with greater accurateness. Sequentially, local fauna, from invertebrates to birds and mammals, are attracted to familiar landscapes. "With the progressive establishment of increasingly complex vegetation structure and diversity these ecosystems encourage more local species back onto the mine site," Cockerill explains. "It's then supported by biodiversity monitoring to target measurable performance criteria throughout the life of the mine and reh

OCALA, FLORIDA - JULY 21, 2011 (IMMEDIATE RELEASE) - Blackhawk Mines Corp., B06.F, WKN Number - A1H52M, ISIN Number - CA08265A1003, website - www.bentleyfairview.com is pleased to announce that the Big Bear Mining Claims initial work program will commence within the next three weeks. 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 previously-announced Joint Venture agreement with Blackhawk Mines Corp Resources of Ontario, Canada, will provide Siga the additional financing to commence this work program as announced and expand this program if required to cover the total claim group. The Big Bear Mining Claims are located near Lucerne Valley, CA and currently consists of 9 claims, making up approx 1440 acres (approx 2.25 square miles) The Big Bear Property is located on the North eastern edge of the San Bernardino Mountains. The project area is known historically as the Blackhawk mining District and 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 could be in the range of 2 to 3 million ounces. Field operations are planned to start in the next 90 days. Siga acquired the claims from Montana Mining Corporation of Washington State, USA.

The epic proportions of the illegal mining scam that was uncovered by the Karnataka Lokayukta in its 2011 report may actually have been just one act of a much larger, more complex and multi-layered drama. There is now new evidence to suggest that the Lokayukta's final report on illegal mining - a political game-changer that sent the powerful to jail and catalysed a regime change in the state - is just one part of the mining story. A six-month-long investigation by The Hindu, with help from whistleblowers in the Railways, the Karnataka Commercial Taxes Department and the CBI, points to losses to the State exchequer between January 2006 and December 2010 that are, at the very least, Rs. 1 lakh crore or eight times the estimated figure given in the Lokayukta report.
