of crushers available, such as; cone crusher, jaw crusher, grinding mill, ball mill and mobile crusher. It is recommended that the most economically viable crusher be assessed to determine the most appropriate processing facility for the life of the mine. Vibrating screens, conveyors and wash tables are also essential processing infrastructure which will need to be sourced and set up in a economically viable…

Since the 1970s, over 23.5 million pounds of copper and zinc has flowed out of the Iron Mountain Mine due to mining activities (Sickles 2013). Pollution from mines is disastrous because they contaminate the nearby river systems. Due the severity of the pollution at the Iron Mountain Mine, the EPA had to pass necessary measures to decrease the amount of pollution present in the surrounding water systems through the process of remediation (EPA 2015). The EPA has enacted several measures to…

The Flood, Global or Local? The most modern and up to date information we have establishing the dating for this flood is 3519 BC. This date is based on chronological anchor points no less than 300 to 400 years prior to the flood of Noah, around the time of Abraham, yet with much greater validity a little over a millineum after this flood during the Exodus of 2447 BC, the end of the first kingdom period of Egypt. The biblical basis for this dating method is in the correction of I Kings 6:1 which…

The Massacre in Ludlow, Colorado In the early 1900s, labor issues in the United States were becoming more of a problem that people acknowledged and began to respond against. During this time, the western part of America was flowing with business; including many labor intensive jobs such as mining and laying railroad tracks. Although these jobs were often dangerous and exhausting, desperate men were willing to work under poor conditions just to care for their families. Eventually workers began…

To show relevance the author states "Water is used to extract diamonds, but water is a scarce resource in Africa where many of the world's diamond mines are located." Bringing in the relevance of countries today and how it'll affect them creates more of a sense of ergency and demand for change. The author continues with " Companies have drained twenty lakes, causeing massive changes to the environment…

doing training hikes, planning flights, and reserving campsites, but that first view really made everything that went into the trip worth it. Things like that really can’t be captured in a picture. No matter how stunning a photograph of the Grand Canyon is, it’s nothing compared to standing on the edge of a hundred foot drop and just taking in the hugeness of one of the most famous landmarks in the world. Even my little eleven-year-old brain could understand the immensity of what I was…

After I read the book “Deadbeat Dams”, I agree with the sentiment and the arguments of the author. But as a book, it comes across more as a rant than an objective discussion of the issues. Dan Beard's publication has a great title and is filled with an insider's critical views of the national political process that results in the mismanagement of our nation's water resources. Some of the information he shared is not new - the tree rings and over allocation of water has been known for decades…

What is the Grand Canyon? The Grand Canyon is one of the most remarkable tourist site in the world. The Grand Canyon is made out of sedimentary rock , limestone, sandstone, and shale. No one knows the exact age of the Grand Canyon but it is believed that it is over 5 million years old. The Colorado river and the erosion is responsible for the creation of the Grand Canyon. Over the years the Colorado river slowly started to wear down the rocks. After millions of years the canyon started to be…

areas of Lake Powell. It seemed that Abbey didn't have much sympathy for the people that contributed and supported the new reservoir. He continued to argue against the defenders defending the likings of Lake Powell. He wanted to "shut down the Glen Canyon power plant, open the diversion tunnels, and drain the reservoir." This will "expose a dreary and hideous scene: immense mud flats and who plateaus of sodden garbage strewn with dead trees, sunken boats, the skeletons of long-forgotten,…
