Coal Mining Documentary - The Most Dangerous Job On Earth - Classic History
Coal Mining Documentary - The Most Dangerous Job On Earth - Classic History
Coal mining is the process of extracting coal from the ground. Coal is valued for its energy content, and, since the 1880s, has been widely used to generate electricity. Steel and cement industries use coal as a fuel for extraction of iron from iron ore and for cement production. In the United Kingdom and South Africa a coal mine and its structures are a colliery, a coal mine a pit, and the above-ground structures the pit head. In Australia, "colliery" generally refers to an underground coal mine. In the United States "colliery" has been used to describe a coal mine operation but nowadays the word is not commonly used.
Coal mining has had many developments over the recent years, from the early days of men tunnell...

History of Mining The earliest known mine for a specific mineral
History of Mining I The earliest known mine for a specific mineral
Mining has been an integral part of human civilization for thousands of years. The earliest known mine for a specific mineral dates back to the Neolithic period, around 8,000 years ago. Archaeological evidence suggests that the people of the Jiahu culture in China were mining for cinnabar, a mineral used to create the red pigment vermilion, as early as 6,000 BCE.
In ancient Egypt, mining was a highly organized industry, with workers specializing in specific tasks and hieroglyphs describing the process of extracting precious metals like gold and silver. The Egyptians also mined for iron ore, which was used to make weapons and tools.
The ancient Greeks and Romans were also avid miners, extracting copper, silver, and gold f...

Coal Mining Documentary - The Most Dangerous Job On Earth - Classic History
Coal mining is the process of extracting coal from the ground. Coal is valued for its energy content, and, since the 1880s, has been widely used to generate electricity. Steel and cement industries use coal as a fuel for extraction of iron from iron ore and for cement production. In the United Kingdom and South Africa a coal mine and its structures are a colliery, a coal mine a pit, and the above-ground structures the pit head. In Australia, "colliery" generally refers to an underground coal mine. In the United States "colliery" has been used to describe a coal mine operation but nowadays the word is not commonly used.
Coal mining has had many developments over the recent years, from the early days of men tunnelling, digging and manually extracting the coal on carts, to large open cut and long wall mines. Mining at this scale requires the use of draglines, trucks, conveyors, hydraulic jacks and shearers.
Small-scale mining of surface deposits dates back thousands of years. For example, in Roman Britain, the Romans were exploiting most of the major coalfields by the late 2nd century AD.

In ancient Egypt, mining was a highly organized industry, with workers specializing in specific tasks and hieroglyphs describing the process of extracting precious metals like gold and silver. The Egyptians also mined for iron ore, which was used to make weapons and tools.
The ancient Greeks and Romans were also avid miners, extracting copper, silver, and gold from mines across Europe and the Mediterranean. The Romans in particular developed advanced mining techniques, including hydraulic mining and tunneling, which allowed them to extract large amounts of precious metals from deep underground.
During the Middle Ages, mining continued to be an important industry, with miners extracting minerals such as lead, tin, and coal. The invention of gunpowder in the 9th century allowed miners to blast rock more efficiently, and by the 16th century, large-scale mining operations were underway in Europe and the Americas.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, mining underwent a period of rapid industrialization, with the introduction of steam power, electricity, and other technological advancements. This allowed miners to extract minerals more efficiently and on a larger scale than ever before.
Today, mining remains an important industry, providing the raw materials for everything from buildings and infrastructure to electronics and renewable energy technologies. However, concerns about the environmental and social impacts of mining have led to increased scrutiny of the industry, and efforts to develop more sustainable and responsible mining practices.

In this platinum documentary, we explore platinum mining, science, history, and the future outlook for this truly unique commodity.
As one of the lesser known, but nonetheless vital precious metals, platinum has a long history of being used for jewelry and ornamentation, reaching back to the ancient Egyptian empire, having been discovered on a coffin unearthed in Thebes, estimated to be from the 7th century BC.
Modern day uses of platinum include being a key element in catalytic converters for vehicles , as a catalyst in the chemical industry, and even in the creation of life-saving anti-cancer drugs.
In this platinum documentary, we explore this exclusive metal that befuddled miners and scientists alike when it was first discovered. Dubbed ‘platina’ or ‘little silver’ by the Spanish Conquistadors, the truth is, platinum is so much more than meets the eye.

This documentary on uranium covers all aspects of this vital commodity. From it's history as one of the deadliest weapons known to humankind, to its role in providing a clean and efficient source of energy, to say uranium is controversial would be an understatement.
As the race begins to a carbon neutral planet and the reduction of fossil fuels, nuclear energy powered by uranium presents an attractive option to effectively lower harmful emissions while providing the power needed to keep our world moving forward.
And what about the dangers and risks posed by nuclear power, or the devastating effects of nuclear war? Those questions, and more, are answered in this uranium documentary.
