Mining Equipment List for the Cripple Creek and Victor, Gold Mine, in Colorado Springs

The development drilling, analysis, mining equipment list and requirements for the mine life extension of the Cripple Creek and Victor, Gold Mine, in Colorado Springs, USA are under review. The proposed extension is to include the development of new sources of ore and an extension to the additional heap-leach facility.

The Cripple Creek and Victor gold mine (CC&V) is in southwest of Colorado Springs in the US state of Colorado. For many years the Cripple Creek Mining District was a series of underground mines. Following the start in 1994 of the CC&V Cresson Project today it is a low-grade, open-pit operation.

In March 1999 AngloGold Ashanti acquired the Pikes Peak Mining Company, and interests in the Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company (CC&V) and the Jerritt Canyon Joint Venture. The stake in the Jerritt Canyon Joint Venture was sold to Queenstake in mid-2003.

Up until mid-2008 the CC&V mine was a joint venture two-thirds owned by AngloGold Ashanti with Golden Cycle Gold Corporation owning the balance. In mid-2008 AngloGold completed a full acquisition of Golden Cycle which resulted in its taking 100% ownership of the CC&V mine.

Used Mining Equipment for Sale - A Good Option for Small Miners During Tough Times

The mining industry has been hit hard by the economic meltdown, falling price of commodities and the lack of credit making used mining equipment for sale an attactive option to keep operations going for smaller miners. While mining giants such as BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Anglo-American will remain robust, it is the smaller, junior miners who risk withering away or being taken over.

As with other sectors of the economy, access to cash is crucial. "Cash is becoming king – so those miners who can get and use cash are in a strong position," says Jonathan Lambert, director at PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PWC) in London. "It is a cash-intensive business and 2008 is proving a very difficult year to raise finance.

The bridge will allow much greater transportation speed of more cargo and people from one continent to another.

It will be a 28.5 km (17.8 miles) long cable-stayed bridge. The suspension portion of the bridge will be the longest in the world. There will be six lanes of vehicle roadway and 4 rail lines, allowing 100′000 cars and 50′000 rail riders to cross the bridge every day.

A budget of $8.4 billion, a load of construction equipment for the MGM CityCenter

MGM Mirage builds the CityCenter in Las Vegas, Nevada. With a budget of $8.4 billion, a load of construction equipment and estimated completion date in 2009, the project will take 200 million gallons of concrete and a spot on the Las Vegas Strip. MGM Mirage has filled in the last 76 acres of available real estate on the center portion of the Las Vegas Strip with the largest privately funded construction project in the United States. CityCenter, a multi-use plaza with three hotels, a casino, luxury apartments, and retail and dining facilities, will cover about 18 million square feet and may cost as much as $8.4 billion. But MGM is not the only one footing the bill. Dubai World, the state-controlled investment fund, dished out $5 billion for the project and now holds a 50 percent stake in the megaresort.

Used Mining Equipment Eases Out Cash Shortage

In early December, PWC released a report on junior miners coinciding with the Mines and Money Conference in London stating measures to cushion capital shortage with used mining equipment. In 2007, of the top 50 AIM mining companies listed on the main board, eight were acquired and 13 reported no revenue. Overall there was an 81% increase in revenue due to the rise of commodity prices; but despite this, profitability decreased. 2008 started on a high as these companies were using their existing cash resources but a lot of internal funds had been used, so they did not have cash to expand.

Lambert says that the market capitalisation for AIM in 2007 was £11.8bn at the end of December 2007 but by the end of October 2008 it had fallen to just £3.2bn. Junior miners are therefore taking steps to ensure they appear more profitable despite the difficultly of securing extra financing by the end of the year.

Latin America’s coal consumption and use of mining equipment

Energy Tribune reported that the impressive growth of Latin America’s coal consumption and use of mining equipment in recent decades reflects three key factors like the region’s expanding economy, its failure to integrate neighboring electricity markets and a tendency to depend heavily on one power source which is coal - which requires mining equipment. There is no reason Latin America should be looking overseas for fuel supplies, since the region has an abundance of hydro potential, natural gas, uranium and oil. But coal, both imported and to a lesser extent, regionally mined, is playing an increasingly important role in the region’s energy sector and will continue to expand.

Philippine Mining Industry Targets China and Dubai for Investments and to Buy Used Mining and Construction Heavy Equipment

The Philippine mining industry is targeting China and Dubai for investments amid the slowdown in western markets due to the ongoing financial crisis. One of the business sectors to benefit from this is the used mining and construction heavy equipment suppliers.

Environment Secretary Lito Atienza said they hope to forge deals in a mining conference to be held in Beijing, China from November 10 to 13. He added a number of Dubai-based mining firms will also visit the Philippines this month to study their prospects and also look at used mining and construction heavy equipment for sale.

Atienza said contractors in Dubai are interested in iron, copper and gold mining in light of massive construction works in the country. He noted Middle East countries have become big markets for metallic minerals which are used for making steel and other construction materials.

Atienza said the government is enticing foreign investors to put their money in mineral extraction as well as production and processing."Even for Middle East companies, we’re not interested in allowing them to just extract minerals," he remarked.

The government is expecting mining investments to hit $829 million by the end of the year, up by 25 percent from the $664 million in 2007 but below the full-year target of $1 billion. Investments for the first half already reached $260.6 million.

Mines and Geosciences Bureau director Horacio Ramos said the government expects mining investments in the second half of 2008 to reach $565.5 million, comprising capital poured into 40 projects, including Atlas Consolidated Mining's Carmen copper mine and Sumitomo Metal's expansion of its Rio Tuba nickel plant.

He added some of the planned investments that did not push through this year may be realized in 2009, thereby raising investments next year to around $2 billion.

Investments for the first half of 2008 reached USD 260.6 million. The Philippines aims to attract around USD 10 billion into the mining industry by 2011.
