Ore Processing - April 2022 I was surprised that they allowed us into the ore processing building. I was amazed that they allowed us to take pictures. At the mine, the ore is crushed, washed, and then brought into the processing area. Certain chemicals are added that bind to the copper and float to the surface with the bubbles of air that are pumped through the slurry. I guess they allow pictures because the basic process hasn’t changed since the 1700s so no one is going to steal any trade secrets. The closeup in the second image shows a better view of the bubbles overflowing the processing tanks and taking the now copper rich slurry to the next step. After the slurry is settled out and evaporated, it is melted in a furnace and the almost pure copper is cast into large anodes. Those anodes are shipped to a final processing facility where electrical current is used to transfer pure copper to a final form. MWM

Miners’ Day

The men and women who spend every day digging in the earth are some of the greatest unsung heroes of industry and modern civilization. They dig deep into the darkest places in the world to bring out the riches that help to sustain our lifestyles. From the steel for our cars, to the copper wiring that binds together our digital world together, everything we think of as our modern lives and comforts exist on the back of these intrepid people.

History of Miners’ Day The history of mining reaches into prehistory, where resources such as flint were removed from the earth to produce the highest quality tools of the age. As time went on and more was understood about the nature of ores and how to process them, gold, turquoise, and malachite (the ore from which copper is derived) mines began to appear all over the world. Better technology allowed the development of new mining techniques, and more uses for existing and newly discovered resources. Even in these ancient days, the bronze and iron brought forth from the earth was used to plow the ground, fight wars, and build grand edifices that would stand the test of time.

Miners’ Day was established to celebrate and recognize those who take part in this dangerous profession, to help our lives be comfortable and full of conveniences. Thanks to the efforts of the president of the Miners’ Day Memorial Association of West Virginia (MDMAWV) Roy Lee Cooke, National Miners’ Day was established in 2009 by the passing of a resolution by the United States Senate.

How to Celebrate Miners’ Day The simplest way to celebrate Miners’ Day is just to take a look around you and realize how many of your life’s comforts are dependent on the minerals pulled out of the earth. That fancy phone you have, that luxury automobile, even the pots and pans you cook on and the stove, all thanks to the efforts of these men and women.

To get a bit more firsthand knowledge of where it all comes from and the dangers they face, find a local mine to go and visit. There are mines all over the world that pull a variety of minerals out of the earth, and visiting them can give you a true appreciation for what they do and how perilous it can be. Stop by and thank them for their efforts, maybe bring a tray of some decent coffee to keep ‘em going. Miners’ Day is your chance to truly appreciate all the things you have.

“POLICE QUELL ANYOX PARADE,” The Province (Vancouver). February 4, 1933. Page 1. --- Peace Restored After Demonstrators Make Dash For Town. ---- COMPANY STATEMENT --- VICTORIA. Feb. 4. (CP) Keeping their firearms in their holsters and using their flsts. thirteen officers of the provincial police stood off a body of approximately 400 strikers at Anyox on Thursday evening, repelling two attempts on the part of men to get into the town. In a third attempt the men joined up with another party at the Beach Mine. Order was immediately restored and the affair has simmered down to peaceful picketing of the plant, provincial officials were advised.

Briefly reviewing the facts, a spokesman for the government said that the situation was well in hand and adequate measures were being taken to see that order Is preserved. It must be understood that the province would not provide relief for men who refused the offer of work, he added.

Advices to the government showed that the majority of the large number of men at Anyox wish to continue at work.

MAY CLOSE DOWN. Provincial officers at the scene were reinforced today, and latest reports showed that all was quiet. Representatives of the men have given an undertaking that no damage to property is intended. Provincial officials were chiefly concerned with the possibility that the plant might be permanently closed down by the operating company, which has not sold any copper since 1931 but maintained operations to give employment at the site.

In a statement Issued today. Mr. Charles Bocking, president and managing director of the Granby company, declares: 'Recently radical agitators entered Anyox and succeeded In forming a union, known as the Mine Workers' Union of Canada, which is identified 'with the Workers' Unity League of Canada and the Red Internationale.

"On Monday, January 30, these radicals, made up almost entirely of the foreign element employed at the mine and smelter, held a meeting and presented certain demands to the company officials, some of which were an increase in wages, reduction in board, and recognition of this union, advising the officials that if these demands were not met. they would call a strike at the mine on Wednesday, February 1, and would shut down the remainder of the plant on Friday February 3.

WILLING TO WORK. "The company was unable to meet their demands, as the property had been operated at a heavy loss for the past two years, and has declared that under no circumstances would it recognize this radical union. As a result, the men have carried out their threats, and at this writing the plant is closed down entirely, with the exception of the heat, light and water system.

"More than half of the employees have not joined the union, and desire to work, but. by reason of widespread intimidation of these loyal workmen and their families, they have been forced to abandon their work, and as a result over one thousand men, who have been regularly employed by the company, are now Idle.

"There have been some clashes between the strikers and the police and at the present time a serious situation exists and the company is unable to operate.

"The plant at Anyox has, at the earnest solicitation of it local officials, operated for over two year for the benefit of its loyal workmen and the company regrets that by the actions of these foreign laborers, influenced by Communist agitators, the works have been closed down."

[AL: Again, company and provincial police hand in hand to crush a strike, and blaming Reds and foreigners for labour strife - and the newspaper publishing straight up propaganda for the company. Not a surprise - it’s a BC tradition (and Canadian tradition.)]

La Sequía Pone en Aprietos al Canal de Panamá y el Comercio Mundial

El número de barcos permitidos para cruzar el Canal de Panamá cada día se reducirá en los próximos meses a medida que el cambio climático sacude cada vez más el comercio global. Más del 3 por ciento del comercio mundial pasa a través del canal de casi 110 años de antigüedad, que depende del agua dulce para operar sus esclusas. Actualmente, está experimentando una de las peores sequías en su…

ShreeMetalPrices: Codelco Estimates 8 Million Metric Tons Shortage in Copper by 2032.

The world’s largest copper producer, Chile’s state-owned mining company Codelco, issued a warning on Thursday. Predicting that eight million metric tons of the metal may be in short supply by 2032 as rising demand outpaces the number of new projects.

Mine Trucks - April 2022 I captured three mine trucks and two other pieces of equipment in one high-zoom image. I like the image on face value, but there are several things about it that make it even more interesting. One is the water truck. Dust is a major problem at the mine so water trucks are everywhere spraying the roads to keep down the dust. A second thing is the equipment just off the road. If you were to see that equipment alongside the highway you would think it was very large, but in comparison to these ore carriers, it seems small. And thirdly, notice that they are driving on the left side of the road. That is for visibility. All vehicles in or around the mine have large red flags on poles so they can be seen, so that is not the issue. The issue is being sure that you can see the side of the road. These roads are dug into the hillside and it would be very bad if a driver slipped a wheel past the edge of the road. That would cause about a hundred tons of ore and equipment to come sliding/crashing down on anyone on a lower level. MWM
