The Environmental Impacts Of Tourism That We All NEED To Know About!

The environmental impacts of tourism is an extremely important topic. Tourism industry stakeholders (that's people who work in the industry, tourists and anyone else who is related to the travel and tourism industry) MUST have the environmental impacts of tourism at the forefront of their minds.... otherwise there will be no travel and tourism industry for future generations to enjoy. Why do we destroy the very thing that we are travelling to see? With a little bit of effort we can work together to protect and preserve the environment. We can minimise the negative environmental impacts of tourism and maximise the positive environmental impacts of tourism. Lets do this!

How can the mining industry make diversity a reality?

Diversity has become an increased priority for the mining industry. Year on year companies have improved their approach and response to this conversation. Across the mining value chain, it is clear that organisations have recognised the value of a diverse workplace, and have implemented policies accordingly.

However, despite the many initiatives currently in place there are still concerns that these policies are not translating into reality. What does the mining industry need to do to make this happen?

In this webinar, which took place at 1pm on Wednesday 10th July, our expert panel discussed:

- What diversity actually means
- What the mining industry needs to do to make diversity a reality across all areas of the supply chain
- The drive for the Future of Work and why it is integral to achieving real change
- The importance of changing mindsets holistically to ensure more diverse workplaces
- The role of quotas in the diversity discussion and whether they work
- and more

Hydraulic mining and the California Gold Rush

When it comes to gold mining during the California Gold Rush, what many people visualize is a gold miner hunched over at a river panning for gold with a tin pan. For placer mining during the Gold Rush, using a gold pan didn’t last long and more environmentally destructive practices were used.

In this video, Kathy discusses hydraulic mining. Hydraulic mining involved using large high-pressure water cannons to wash away hill sides looking for gold veins in quartz. Although it was successful in extracting gold, the widespread use of hydraulic mining resulted in extensive environmental damage, which resulted in increased flooding and erosion. These problems led to the Sawyer decision in 1884, one of the first environmental laws passed in the United States, the regulation of hydraulic mining in California. Malakoff Diggins State Historic Park outside of Nevada City, CA is a great, and unfortunate, example of the lasting impacts of hydraulic mining.

South32/WSP - Tracing the Fault [HSEC 2023]

South32 operates Illawarra Metallurgical Coal, which produces steelmaking coking coal for both domestic and export markets. WSP is one of the world's leading engineering and professional services firms, with more than 6,000 professionals across Australia.

Illawarra Metallurgical Coal and WSP conducted an investigation into the Elouera Fault, situated near underground mining areas near the Sydney water catchment area. The goal was to understand the fault's behaviour and potential risks to the water supply. To achieve this, they utilised infrequently used tracers to determine how the fault behaves. The investigation demonstrated the successful application of tracers in fault behaviour analysis, providing a method that can be used not only in the mining industry but also in other geological settings. This approach enhances the understanding of hydrogeological impacts related to proposed mining operations in complex geological environments.

The investigation focused on the Elouera Fault, which lies between Longwall 18 of Dendrobium Mine to the north and the former Elouera Mine to the south. Given its proximity to Lake Avon, a vital drinking water source for the Macarthur and Illawarra region, understanding the fault's nature and potential risks to the water supply was crucial. Various methods were employed, including packer testing, downhole geophysics, pumping tests, and sampling at different depths. Tracer testing using salt and fluorescein dye was also conducted, revealing differing hydrogeological conditions at the sites. The results indicated that the fault is unlikely to act as a conduit for flow or negatively impact the water reservoir.

By improving the understanding of the fault's hydrogeological behaviour, the investigation enhanced confidence in managing potential impacts on the water supply associated with mining operations. The use of tracers provided valuable insights into fault connectivity and transmissivity, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of potential risks. The results of this investigation have implications beyond the mining industry, as they demonstrate the efficacy of tracer testing in complex geological settings, leading to better-informed decision-making regarding proposed mining activities.

Three types of placer gold mining during the California Gold Rush

When it comes to gold mining during the California Gold Rush, what many people visualize is a gold miner hunched over at a river panning for gold with a tin pan. For placer mining, which is the practice of separating heavily eroded gold from sand or gravel, gold panning is just one of the methods.

In this video, Kathy explains the use of a rocker (or cradle) and also Long Toms during the Gold Rush. While these methods were more effective, they were a lot more environmentally destructive.

Salt Mining Is Not What You Think It Is

Salt Mining Is Not What You Think It Is

Uganda is well endowed with economic quantities of mineral salts present in the interstitial brines and evaporite deposits of Lake Katwe, a closed (endorheic) saline lake located in the western branch of the great East African rift valley. Currently, rudimentary and artisanal methods continue to be used for salt extraction from the lake raw materials. These have proved to be risky and unsustainable to the salt miners and the environment and they have low productivity and poor product quality.

Method Used - Underground mining:
Also known as rock salt mining. This process involves conventional mining of the underground deposits through drilling and blasting, whereby solid rock salt is removed. The mining is carried out at depths between 100 m to more than 1500 m below the surface.
