Vugіlni kar'єri. The largest kar'єri

“The creation of pieced islands and the decline of natural mountains: people are constantly changing the look of the planet. And the miners miraculously cope with these tasks, changing more and more expanses of the landscape. Some of the pits are pierced with shotguns from samples to extract ore, a true marvel of technology, and most of them can be seen from space, ”write samsebeskazal .

Part of these marvelous examples of human building to order their own nature is created in the form of open cuts. Tsey way to vicory the vicory, if the resources lie over something close to the surface, and the warehouse does not allow the vicory to be tunnelled. Through the efforts of the miners, the kar'єri grow to the point of depletion of resources. After that, like kar'єri, the stench transforms into smіtєlischa, or piece lakes, but not marveling at the tse stink, they continue to rage with their scale.

At the time of the birth of the genus, it was decided to unite the sprat of the other genera into one great kar'єr. For such an "annoyance" it was necessary to move the place of Hibbing, roztashovane in the immediate proximity to the caravan.

In the 1930s, the Dutch scientific expedition hit one of the most important peaks in the Dutch East Indies. The expedition was informed about the revealed reserves of gold and copper, which became Kar'er Ertsberg. Due to the importance of accessibility - the birthplace is growing near the mountain massif at an altitude of 4100 meters above the sea level - vitrati for everyday life was estimated at 175 million dollars; a project to transform everyday life - 116 km of roads, land plots, power plants and the port. In 1977, a rotational group of rebels attacked the mine and ruled by sabotage by setting a vibrator on the trough.
After 10 years after the attack, the Freeport company reached a visnovka, which was made to be built, and began to reach the outskirts of the genus in the nadiya of the genus of the smaller size. The company made a fortune on the Grasberg family, which was planted 3 km from Ertsberg with the maximum reserves of midi - 40 billion dollars.

For a short period, Chukіkamata took the greatest part of the river fertilization. Prior to joining the “Eskondida” quarry in 2002, the largest smelter and the largest electric naphthalene refinery in the world worked on the quarry. It is obvious that the territory in the area of ​​the mine was victorious for hundreds of hundreds of years, after 17 years after the cob worked at the littered timchasovy war it was revealed “middle people” dated 500 years before our time.

At the same time, the Escondida quarry is considered the largest quarry for the production of copper ore. In 2007, 1.48 million tons of midi were mined (not copper ore, but midi), the variance was 10.12 billion US dollars,

The key technology is considered one of the foundations of the Chilean economy. Let me tell you that Escondida employs 2,951 people, and this is a direct employment. 2006 was the year of the great strike - the workers wanted to win more. After the guardians paid great salaries, the workers simply blocked the road to the quarry. Zreshtoy company had a chance to wait with the helpers of spivrobitnikiv.
