Going for gold: coin marks hope of bringing Welsh mine, Clogau St David's, back from the dead.
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.
Chief operating officer Mark Austin with one of the coins and some quartz with gold running through it.

'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.

'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.

Maria ReymagaÕs husband has a drinking problem and does not work.

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.

Brazil's battle to reclaim Yanomami lands from illegal miners turns deadly
Fatalities underline dangers in government efforts to evict thousands of miners who have devastated Indigenous territory.
Brazil's battle to reclaim its largest Indigenous territory from tens of thousands of illegal miners has taken a deadly turn after at least five people were reportedly killed during 36 hours of violence in the Amazon’s sprawling Yanomami territory.
The bloodshed began on Saturday afternoon when masked illegal miners allegedly launched an attack on a Yanomami village called Uxiu.
The Yanomami leader, Júnior Hekurari, said he had received reports that between 15 and 20 heavily armed miners had arrived by boat and opened fire on locals. Three Yanomami men - aged 36, 31 and 24 - were shot. The oldest, an Indigenous health worker named as Ilson Xiriana, died early after being shot in the head.

'We need the jobs': Cumbrians divided over new coalmine
Despite positivity in Whitehaven, near the former Marchon chemical plant, proposals still cause worry.
Most people in the town are in favour of the mine. They have been waiting for the news of the go ahead for what seems a long time, people repeatedly said.
But there are dissenting voices. "It's not right," said Margaret Telford, a retired shop worker. "Every family round here has lost a lot of people to mining and apart from that, it’s not good for the world, is it?"
Even people who have lost relatives to mining said they wanted the government to give the go ahead.
Jean Brayton, 80, is on her way to her karate class and is very much in favour of the mine. "My dad worked down the pit. I lost two uncles. It has always been a mining place. But we need to be self-sufficient."
