Mountains, Minerals Terricorn - Traces of Mining (2 Part)

6th international conference of exopolitics, history and spirituality

Now dive deeper and look wide-eyed: It's just a gigantic mine, gutted territory!

Millions of tourists think it's a miracle of nature. Why? They told them so. No trace of water erosion anywhere, just the impact of explosives and traces of huge excavators.

Dear reader, it is clear from the title of the article that it will deal with uranium extraction, but not just about it. I will ask you the questions I have used myself so that you can not only examine information but also personally experience the discovery of new interesting facts.

Soon you will find that a person here on a photo with the inscription "Stop Uranium Mining", protesting against the opening of mining work in the Grand Canyon, probably does not know she behaves like a bee protesting against honey. In essence, the former uranium mine prevents it from being used again! Oxymron.

Stop uranium mining

Stop uranium mining

One of the rules that I use to search for the traces of ancient mining of minerals in an industrial way is: if at some point they mined a certain mineral and did not use all the volume, then other people, it is not important for how many years, they will return to this place and will continue in mining.

We can illustrate this thesis on the example from the Crimea. On this video there are two quarries for limestone mining. One current and just across the way - the former. Judging by water and wind erosion, the earlier quarry is several thousand years old. Imagine you have a look. The clip has only 30 seconds.

Let's take the above-mentioned rule and simply download the maps of current active bearings in any country or region with the appearance of any element from the Periodic Table of Elements and also of any compounds and simply just compare it visually.

It's simple, inspirational and fun. As a task in the game. To find these maps, we use these keywords, for example:

  1. mineral deposits map …… (specific country)
  2. the map of mineral deposits in the area
  3. minerals map …… (specific country)
  4. Copper ore stock map
  5. map of uranium ore stock
  6. Bauxite stock map
  7. etc…

Then, view the pictures and repeat the search in different languages ​​for other countries. I will show you on an example of an earlier mine called today Grand Canyon. Its length is 446 km, width at platform level ranges from 6 to 29 km and bottom level less than a mile. The depth is 1800 m.

Using the "uranium mining reserves USA"You can find a map highlighted by areas with high uranium content:

The canyon falls into the zone of maximum uranium concentration. Then I narrowed the search criteria and began to read the materials under the search term "Grand Canyon Uranium Mining" and found interesting materials. Here are some of them: Article under the title: Uranium mining near the Grand Canyon should be permanently banned (Uranium mining near the Grand Canyon should be permanently banned). And a map of the mines for uranium mining around Grand Canyon from the same article:

On the maps it is beautifully visible that the previously unplanned areas around Grand Canyon are very interested in uranium-producing companies.

Do you understand where I'm heading? This means that our ancestors did not have to or could not fully extract all the uranium-bearing ore in this area. They only used the volume that later became the Grand Canyon.

In the area of ​​the canyon there are also plenty of radioactive sites, which are highlighted by the signs:

Here's the 2011 video on radioactive rain: Grand Canyon RADIOACTIVE RAIN. Background radioactivity increased 2,7 times. The video creator of this increase suspects the Fukushima crash, which occurred six months earlier. But Japan is far enough, so I assume that with the rain the local radioactive dust dropped into the atmosphere with the wind.

To find out more about radioactivity around the Grand Canyon, search for "Grand Canyon Radiation". And to illustrate how the mine is gradually becoming a canyon, I offer a demonstration of one current uranium mine: SomaÏr - uranium mining in Nigeria. It's quite similar to a future canyon, isn't it? If you look at the area from above, this mining style will make it a canyon one day.

So what? Does history start with new colors? There was a huge amount of uranium in the hands of someone who could be used for energy or nuclear weapons.

Are you still interested in the official history of how generations of savages of cannabis fur and chasing on wooden rowing boats and sailboats may have been exchanged and chased, but exploring this simple lifestyle is the same as today's study of the Mauric history in Australia, when mining and metallurgical operations are being carried out next to them by such international companies as BHP Hilltion, Rio Tinto, Glencore Xstrata and Alcoa.

With the help of the example above, you can now independently explore the terrain on your territory. This way, with the collaboration of miners or mining and manufacturing workers who are familiar with the internal processes, it is possible to assemble the whole puzzle.

Imagine now that there is a planet in front of you that needs to develop a full-scale mining and processing industry. You have a limited number of techniques. The first thing you start with is increasing its number. What is needed first of all? Energy.

For any manipulation with matter, energy is needed. And then steel. No machine or race can be built without a wide range of different types of steel. Iron ore, alloying additives - chromium, nickel, molybdenum, manganese and others, as well as coal and melting agent - limestone (calcium carbonate) are necessary to create steel.

Coal is generally necessary for the recovery process of all metal oxides. The oxygen atoms in the blast furnace are deducted from the metal oxide by the reduction chemical reaction and attached to the carbon contained in the coal. Calcium carbonate and dolomite are used as fluxes for metallurgical ores to provide low-melting slag for easier removal of minor impurities; it helps to wash the dirt into the slag. Their widespread use in the steel industry is due to the fact that a substantial amount of basic oxides is needed to melt the dirt and coke ash. In addition, most manufacturing processes are aimed at removing foreign matter which can be washed out completely or partially from the melt when working with alkaline slag. Larger doses of alkaline melt are necessary for the latter. The most important requirement is low silica, alumina and foreign matter (sulfur and phosphorus). This means that calcium carbonate is not possible. Here is the diagram of the blast furnace.


Next time we will be looking for limestone mines.

    Geologist - machine machining of stones

    We are looking for a fan with expertise in the field of geology and machining of hard materials (especially granite, diorite), who would be willing to give their views on the articles. You help break the ice with mystery and speculation about what is or is not possible in proportion to the technical skills of the time. Please write to our editor:
