Excerpt from Statistics of Mines and Mining: In the States and Territories West of the Rocky Mountains, Being the Sixth Annual Report Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith my report on mines and mining in the States and Territories, California, Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Alaska, together with such observations, comparisons, and suggestions as may serve to indicate the condition of the arts of mining and metallurgy in that portion of the country, and also to contribute to the progress and improvement of those arts. Some criticisms are also offered with respect to the general mining law. This report is the sixth I have had the honor to prepare for the Government. Including the two reports of Hon. J. Ross Browne, my predecessor, the series on mining statistics now comprises eight volumes, and I deem it not uninteresting or out of place to briefly review, on this occasion, the work which has been performed in the preparation of these volumes, and the nature of the contributions which they have made to the progress of the mining industry. Mr. Browne's reports, having to deal with an entirely new and almost untrodden field, were naturally occupied with the rough survey of the resources and industry of the vast area described. No special place could be given so early in the work to discussions or suggestions calculated to increase the economy and productiveness of this industry by disseminating correct views and means of comparison among the mining communities. Upon assuming the position of Commissioner, I was impressed with the importance of such a feature in future reports; and accordingly I adopted, at the outset, a plan which I have since continued through six volumes, dividing each report into sections or parts, one of which was devoted to the condition of the mining industry, comprising the description of new or previously undescribed districts, and of new discoveries and current progress in old districts. In this part of the report much pains have been taken to avoid unnecessary repetition; hence every report contains numerous references to foregoing ones, and the whole series presents a reasonably complete exhibit of the mining districts of the West, the nature of their mineral deposits, and the progress of their development. The other parts of my annual report have been devoted to the presentation of such valuable information as my own professional knowledge and labors, together with the co-operation of numerous public-spirited citizens and of my assistants, correspondents, and professional colleagues could furnish.

The last two decades have witnessed a dramatic expansion and intensification of mineral resource exploitation and development across the global south, especially in Latin America. This shift has brought mining more visibly into global public debates and spurred a great deal of controversy and conflict. This volume assembles new scholarship that provides critical perspectives on these issues. The book marshals original, empirical work from leading social scientists in a variety of disciplines to address a range of questions about the practices of mining companies on the ground, the impacts of mining on host communities, and the responses to mining from communities, civil society and states. The book further explores the global and international causes, consequences and innovations of this new era of mining activity in Latin America. Key issues include the role of Canadian mining companies and their investment in the region, and, to a lesser extent, the role of Chinese mining capital. Several chapters take a regional perspective, while others are based on empirical data from specific countries including Bolivia, Brazil, El Salvador, Guatemala and Peru.

The Office of Industrial Technologies (OIT) of the U. S. Department of Energy commissioned the National Research Council (NRC) to undertake a study on required technologies for the Mining Industries of the Future Program to complement information provided to the program by the National Mining Association. Subsequently, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health also became a sponsor of this study, and the Statement of Task was expanded to include health and safety. The overall objectives of this study are: (a) to review available information on the U.S. mining industry; (b) to identify critical research and development needs related to the exploration, mining, and processing of coal, minerals, and metals; and (c) to examine the federal contribution to research and development in mining processes.

y global social, agrarian and political changes, whilst underlining the roles that local social political-historical contexts play in shaping mineral extractive processes and practices. It shows that the people who are engaged in these mining practices are often the poorest and most exploited labourers-erstwhile peasants caught in the vortex of global change, who perform the most insecure and dangerous tasks. Although these people are located at the margins of mainstream economic life, they collectively produce enormous amounts of diverse material commodities and find a livelihood (and often a pathway out of oppressive poverty). The contributions to this book bring these people to the forefront of debates on resource politics. The contributors are international scholars and practitioners who explore the complexities in the histories, in labour and production practices, the forces driving such mining, the creative agency and capacities of these miners, as well as the human and environmental costs of ASM. They show how these informal, artisanal and small scale miners are inextricably engaged with, or bound to, global commodity values, are intimately involved in the production of new extractive territories and rural economies, and how their labour reshapes agrarian communities and landscapes of resource access and control. This book drives home the understanding that, collectively, this social and economic milieu redefines our conceptualisation of resource politics, mineral dependent livelihoods, extractive geographies of resources and commodities, and their multiple meanings.

Despite the global endorsement of the Sustainable Development Goals, environmental justice struggles are growing all over the world. These struggles are not isolated injustices, but symptoms of interlocking forms of oppression that privilege the few while inflicting misery on the many and threatening ecological collapse. This handbook offers critical perspectives on the multi-dimensional, intersectional nature of environmental injustice and the cross-cutting forms of oppression that unite and divide these struggles, including gender, race, poverty, and indigeneity. The work sheds new light on the often-neglected social dimension of sustainability and its relationship to human rights and environmental justice. Using a variety of legal frameworks and case studies from around the world, this volume illustrates the importance of overcoming the fragmentation of these legal frameworks and social movements in order to develop holistic solutions that promote justice and protect the planet's ecosystems at a time of intensifying economic and ecological crisis.

What is land? A resource to be exploited? A commodity to be traded? A home to cherish? In Guatemala, a country still reeling from thirty-six years of US-backed state repression and genocides, dominant Canadian mining interests cash in on the transformation of land into “property,” while those responsible act with near-total impunity. Editors Catherine Nolin and Grahame Russell draw on over thirty years of community-based research and direct community support work in Guatemala to expose the ruthless state machinery that benefits the Canadian mining industry—a staggeringly profitable juggernaut of exploitation, sanctioned and supported every step of the way by the Canadian government. This edited collection calls on Canadians to hold our government and companies fully to account for their role in enabling and profiting from violence in Guatemala. The text stands apart in featuring a series of unflinching testimonios (testimonies) authored by Indigenous community leaders in Guatemala, as well as wide-ranging contributions from investigative journalists, scholars, Lawyers, activists, and documentarians on the ground. As resources are ripped from the earth and communities and environments ripped apart, the act of standing in solidarity and bearing witness—rather than extracting knowledge—becomes more radical than ever.
