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.

Heavy Equipment for Sale for the Bridge of the Horns

The Bridge of the Horns, will be one of the great engineering feats of this century and will be good for heavy equipment for sale. The bridge will link Yemen of the Middle East to the Island of Perim in the Red Sea and on to Djibouti in the African continent. The Red Sea is one of the busiest and most important seaways in the world and the construction as well as the service of the bridge will have to allow this heavy transit. 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.

One Km-Tall Nakheel Tower in Dubai to Use 1,500 Construction Equipment

Developer Nakheel in Dubai, UAE has launched a multi-billion dollar blue-print to build the world's tallest tower, using state-of-the-art architectural design, technology and construction equipment amidst the plunging global financial crisis.

The Nakheel tower, at the centre of the Nakheel port and harbour complex, is expected to be more than 1000 metres or a 1 kilometre high. To date, the world's tallest building is the Burj Dubai at 818m. Nakheel's project will have more than 200 floors and 150 lifts. It will provide homes and offices for 100,000 people. It is predicted that it will use 1,500 units of heavy construction equipment and that 30,000 workers would be involved in its construction.

Chris O'Donnell, Nakeel's Australian chief executive commented: "At more than a kilometre high this is an unbelievably ground-breaking design."

Boddington Gold Mine Needs Mining Equipment

The Boddington Gold Mine - about 130km south-east of Perth in Western Australia is the largest undeveloped gold mine in the region, it is gearing to be the highest producing gold mine once operations ramp up and as mining equipment are purchased over the next few years.

The $2.4bn project was initially a tripartite venture between Newmont Mining, AngloGold Ashanti and Newcrest Mining. In 2006 Newmont bought Newcrest’s 22.22% share, bringing its interest to 66.67% and ending any Australian ownership. AngloGold owns the remaining 33.33%.

Sources say that recent exploration has identified an extensive 19.57Moz of gold bedrock resource, which was the basis of the Boddington Gold Mine Expansion Project. Approved last 2006, the project will involve extracting the hard gold/copper ore that lies beneath depleted oxide pits at Boddington’s original mine site.

The project has an attributable capital budget of between A$0.8bn and A$0.9bn. At year-end, the overall project was approximately 65% complete, with engineering and procurement of mining equipment underway. Construction of the treatment plant was approximately 32% complete. At its peak the project is expected to employ some 2,000 workers. Once operation begins it is expected that around 650 full-time staff will be required.
