The copper mining industry is an important source of wealth and employment in Arizona (AZ Mining Assoc., 2011). Yet, without proper planning and environmental monitoring, mining can also be a source of contamination that impacts the health of neighboring communities and the environment ....
Western Slope | Articles | Colorado Encyclopedia
An industry unique to the Western Slope, uranium mining was centered in the Paradox Valley near the town of Nucla in Montrose County. Uranium, an essential element in nuclear weapons, was found in the valley during the late nineteenth century, and North America's first radioactive metals mill was built on La Sal Creek in 1900....

Focus on Rock Engineering and Slope Stability SRK
Slope design for large openpit mines presents unique challenges to the engineer that are captured in the oft quoted maxim that "the objective is to have the slope fail the day after the last truckload of ore leaves the pit rim". This infers that the maximum benefit has been extracted from the mineral resource....

Berm Slope Construction at Zacatoza Coal Mine, Mexico
Challenge. The berm functions as a physical and aesthetic barrier between the open pit and the neighboring residential areas of the town. In addition to a visual barrier, the slope is landscaped with mixed vegetation to provide a green 'face' to the mining operations. The berm also aids in containing and controlling fugitive dust and erosion......

JambrikEnvironmental Effects of Dewatered Open Pit Mines It is a decisive hydrogeological condition that the basin settlements end off on the basin side in the order of succession of their slope, so the aquifers of the territory have a positive...
Ecological Effects of Subsurface Mining dummies
Ecological Effects of Subsurface Mining. Diamonds and most metal ores, including gold, require extensive subsurface mines to access the rocks with these resources in them. Subsurface mines are probably what you envision when you think of mining: systems of tunnels and vertical shafts with elevators to take miners underground where they can retrieve the valuable resources....
