#Environmental campaigners have filed a #lawsuit at an #Oslo court challenging #Norway's plan for #seabed mineral exploration, citing insufficient impact assessment of the #mining, the World Wide Fund for #Nature#WWF and its lawyer said on Friday.
Norway's parliament in January approved a proposal to open a vast ocean area larger than Britain for seabed mineral exploration after a government-commissioned study concluded that its impact would be minimal.
The push is being led by the #InvestmentMinister, Bahlil Lahadalia, who faces allegations of self-dealing & #corruption in the revocation & reissuance of #MiningPermits, according to reporting by #InvestigativeNews outlet Tempo.

Visit to the Adventure Mine, Keweenaw peninsula #Michigan, USA. 1.1 billion year old basalt flows that carry pure #copper. We experienced an underground blast from a safe distance around the corner! #geology#mining

Here's a pair of charcoal kilns not often seen as they are a bit out of the way high in the Cedar Range of southeastern Nevada. The Panaca Kilns were built c. 1875 and used until the 1890s to make charcoal for mining smelters in the region. They were operated by Swiss and Italian woodcutters, known as "Carbonari," who had perfected the charcoal-making process in Europe.
Decades of salt mining in Maceió, in northeastern Brazil, have led to earthquakes and cracks in several of the city’s neighborhoods, making buildings there unhabitable. As a result, about 60,000 people have been displaced.
I finally got a clean photo of the old Eureka Opera House (1880) and Jackson House Hotel in Eureka, Nevada. Usually there are vehicles parked in front. Too bad this wasn't in the evening with the lights on. The reflections on the wet pavement would have been awesome! Guess you gotta take what you can get!
