Going for gold: coin marks hope of bringing Welsh mine, Clogau St David's, back from the dead.
Clogau St David's, once Britain's richest goldmine, was considered exhausted. But miners are working there again.
Clogau-St. DavidÕs gold mine in Gwynedd, north Wales, which has operated since 1854 and is renowned for producing the gold for the wedding wrings of generations of the royal family. Alba Mineral Resources took over the mine in 2018 and have used new technology to successfully mine new gold for the first time in over quarter of a century.
To mark the milestone, Alba have minted three 1oz Tyn-y-Cornel gold coins which will be auctioned online on 3 April.

Fracking's return stirs fury in Pennsylvania town of Dimock whose water turned toxic.
The small town of Dimock saw its water become brown, undrinkable, even flammable - and its residents are still feeling the effects.
Fracking has burst back on to the national stage in the US presidential election contest for the must-win swing state of Pennsylvania. But for one town in this state that saw its water become mud-brown, undrinkable and even flammable 15 years ago, the spectre of fracking never went away.

'I do an illegal job, stealing': the women forced to scavenge in Bolivia's tin mines
Some work underground, others pick over tailings; all are running huge risks. But in the town of Huanani, the mines are the only way to support a family.
A growing number of women in Bolivia have resorted to mining on an informal basis to provide for their families. Some are widows whose husbands died in mining accidents or of related health problems; some are single mothers; others are wives of men who are alcoholics and subject them to domestic abuse. Some women bring their children with them to work to make more money.
Women who cannot find work often resort to scavenging minerals discarded by miners.

Battle lines redrawn as Argentina's lithium mines ramp up to meet electric car demand.
Mining companies accused of colonial 'divide and rule' tactics in their pursuit of the precious metal that lies under the countryÕs salt flats.
The Salinas Grandes is the largest salt flat in Argentina, a biodiverse ecosystem stretching 200 miles and sitting within the lithium triangle along with parts of Chile and Bolivia.
Lithium, a silvery metal known as white gold, is an essential component of mobile phone and electric car batteries; its global demand is predicted to rise more than fortyfold by 2040. But its exploitation has also fuelled a moral debate, one that pits the green energy transition against the rights of local and Indigenous peoples.
