Mar 19, 2018 Mining alters the natural landscape and discharges large volumes of wastes that pose serious pollution hazards to the environment, to human health and to agriculture. As a result, the recent 2 decades have witnessed a global surge in research on post-mining landscape restoration, yielding a suite of techniques including physical, chemical, biological (also known as phytoremediation) and ...

Jul 16, 2013 South Africa will host a summit later this year that brings together ministers responsible for health, mining and labour from across the South African Development Community, as well as both the mining companies and the unions representing their workers, to hammer out a better strategy.
Apr 15, 2018 Seven bacterial isolates were used in this study. They were isolated from soils of a gold mine located in Itagunmodi (7 30N, 4 49E) and gemstone mining site located in Awo (7 46N, 4 24E), South-West Nigeria. Details of the bacterial isolation methods and elevated heavy metal levels of the sites are presented in Oladipo et al ...

Mar 21, 2012 In the case of biomining, the bacteria are naturally occurring at mining sites anyway, and are not pathogenic. Biomining is already in use in several countries, including South Africa, Brazil and ...
known species of bacteria not directly related with soil or water surrounding mining activities (Dash et al., 2008 Ezzi and Lynch, 2005 Gurbuz et al., 2009). Though officially prohibited, the use of cyanide in artisanal small scale gold mining (ASGM) is widespread in West-Africa, particularly in Burkina Faso (Butar and Keita, 2009).
Jun 27, 2019 Human exposure to uranium in South African gold mining areas using barber-based hair sampling. A new study by scientists from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), in collaboration with researchers in Germany and South Africa, examined human exposure to uranium in gold mining areas in South Africa.
By 1932 South Africa and its highly cost-sensitive gold mining industry were enjoying a windfall. In that year the country departed from the Gold Standard, new gold-bearing formations were found, and the gold price rose. These windfalls gave industry 66 MARCH 2004 The Journal of The South African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy

Tuberculosis in the mining industry in Southern Africa is a major public health crisis that is fuelling the regional and global epidemics. Mine workers in South Africa, particularly those working on gold or platinum mines, have the highest rates of TB in the world In 2011 11% of South African gold
The Witwatersrand Gold Rush initiated South Africas domination of world gold production. Although legends of a South African El Dorado existed among the natives of the area, it was not until 1886, when a poor Australian prospector named George Harrison staked the first claim, that the vast riches of the Rand were discovered.
Aug 27, 2020 Biomining is being used to retrieve precious metals like gold and copper from old computer hard drives and mobile phones, and to leach previously uneconomic metals from old waste dumps. Cobalt for example can be extracted from old pyritic waste dumps via bioleaching as a sanitisation process. Selling the cobalt then helps pay for the cost of ...
However, according to South African History Online, these were minor reefs and credit for the discovery of the main reef on Langlaagte Farm went to Australian George Harrison in July 1886. Johannesburgs large gold deposits that ran for miles underground ensured the little mining town mushroomed into a
For almost a century gold mining has dominated the South African economy. Even today, after many years of rapid economic growth and diversification, the gold mines remain the principal source of foreign exchange and a major contributor of state revenue through taxation. They continue to be one of the countrys largest employers of both white ...

Iron pyrite is a naturally pure and hugely useful ore of iron, finding applications in areas as diverse as photovoltaic cells, brake pads and as a glass colourant. African Pegmatite is a leading supplier of iron pyrite, with the ability to provide the material in a range of grind sizes suited to any operational need.
has covered the effects of gold mining on the water quality of the WFS and its tributaries, in particular uranium 18, 20. However, little data exist on the bacterial diversity and commu-nity composition (BCC) in the WFS in relation to the above-mentioned anthropogenic inputs.
A novel extreme alkaliphile was isolated from a mine water containment dam at 3.2 km below land surface in an ultra-deep gold mine near Carletonville, South Africa. The cells of this bacterium were straight to slightly curved rods, motile by flagella and formed endospores. Growth was observed over t

Jan 01, 2006 Fig. 1 is an old abandoned metalliferrous mine in the Republic of South Africa . Here, mining ceased in early 1980s but a considerable amount of acidic-water continues to be released from abandoned underground workings into the surface environment. In this case, pyrite content is the main cause of water pollution.
Mining has a direct impact on the environment due to the need to access land and water resources. Indirect impacts can also result from the construction of roads and other mining-related infrastructure in the areas where we operate. AngloGold Ashanti understands that demonstrating responsible environmental stewardship is an important aspect of ...
