Re: The Gold Miner Interact Reply Quote Report To Mod Last Posts Ignore User Global Ignore Whisper Steppe spends long periods of time in places without access to internet, I would guess that he will get back to you when he get's back to where he can access the internet. I have a copy of his book is there something in particular that I might be able to help you with? Happy diggins, Muley

Re: The Gold Miner Interact Reply Quote Report To Mod Last Posts Ignore User Global Ignore Whisper Thanks, Muley. Looking through the contents, it seems Steppe has just about covered the field, so I`d like a copy.

Re: The Gold Miner Interact Reply Quote Report To Mod Last Posts Ignore User Global Ignore Whisper Sorry Folks about the non-distribution of The Gold Miners Book. I have been in Afghanistan for most of the year, and thought I'd got the on-line distribution set up properly, but there was a glitch as PayPal refuses to send $ TO Mongolia, only FROM Mongolia, and I'd not fully realised that was a no-no. I expect to be back home in Mongolia at Christmas and get it sorted out. Steppe in Kabul

Re: The Gold Miner Interact Reply Quote Report To Mod Last Posts Ignore User Global Ignore Whisper Thanks, Steppe, was beginning to worry about you.:smile: Can we look forward to the inside story on Afghanistan? Mining-wise, that is.

Re: The Gold Miner Interact Reply Quote Report To Mod Last Posts Ignore User Global Ignore Whisper http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mining_in_Afghanistan Mining in Afghanistan From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It is estimated that forty million years ago the tectonic plates of India-Europe, Asia and Africa collided in a massive upheaval. This upheaval created the region of towering mountains that now includes Afghanistan. That process also deposited vast amounts of minerals, including gold, copper, lithium, iron ore, cobalt, natural gas and oil in a country later written off as wartorn and poverty stricken, [1] Afghanistan's resources could make it the richest mining region on earth. [2] As of 2006, "the mineral resources of Afghanistan were relatively underexplored from a global perspective. The country has extensive deposits of barite, chromite, coal, copper, gold, iron ore, lead, natural gas, petroleum, precious and semiprecious stones, salt, sulfur, talc, and zinc. Precious and semiprecious stones include high-quality emerald, lapis lazuli, red garnet and ruby. Ongoing instability in certain areas of the country, the country’s remote and rugged terrain, and an inadequate infrastructure and transportation network have made mining these deposits difficult. Afghanistan’s mining industry currently uses primitive methods and outdated equipment and some of the country's approximately 200 mines are still under the control of local warlords as of 2006. Production data for mineral commodities were not readily available as of 2006."[3] Afghanistan has 89 rich mineral fields with an easy extraction and utilisation possibility, according to information published by Persian Encyclopedia of Economics and Management. Based on the information most of Afghan mines are still intact. With the biggest rich mines of lapis, gold, turquoise, coal, copper, iron, barite and as well as oil and gas fields Afghanistan is one of the countries with the richest and biggest intact mines in the world. There are six big lapis mines in Afghanistan with the biggest one located in northern Badakhshan province. Badakhshan is also home to one of the biggest gold mines in the country. Based on the information there are around 12 copper mines in Afghanistan including the Aynak copper deposit located in Logar province.[4] Afghanistan's significance from an energy standpoint stems from its geographical position as a potential transit route for oil and natural gas exports from Central Asia to the Arabian Sea. This potential includes the possible construction of oil and natural gas export pipelines through Afghanistan.[5]

Re: The Gold Miner Interact Reply Quote Report To Mod Last Posts Ignore User Global Ignore Whisper Hi Pascal, It is really to bad that mineral rich areas like Afghanistan (and California for that matter) are "untouchable" due to political reasons. Happy Holiday Tom

Re: The Gold Miner Interact Reply Quote Report To Mod Last Posts Ignore User Global Ignore Whisper :biggrin: Just a matter of Time, California is too Devellopped or Populated for mining. Afghanistan is open for business, with the technology it will transform itself whatever way it choose to go. Take care you too
