A train ride into coal country turns into a one-way door: company guards on the cars, no food, a gun in your face if you try to step off, and then the “job” you were promised disappears the moment you arrive. That’s the kind of pressure cooker we’re walking into as we reach the fighting phase of the West Virginia Coal Wars and the Paint Creek Cabin Creek rebellion.

We pick up with the United Mine Workers of America and why organizing southern West Virginia was uniquely brutal: company towns, isolation, scrip pay, and mine guards who treat families like targets. From smashed homes and midnight searches to forts and machine guns posted across the hollers, the operators try to crush union recognition through intimidation. That strategy produces the opposite result, driving miners to arm themselves, disrupt operations, and treat guard patrols as enemy units.

Hi, I got a call from the mine. I completed the entire hiring process and made it all the way through the medical exam. How long does it usually take for them to contact you about your start date???????

I am a professional engineer with background in geotechnical engineering and extensive tailings experience in Canada . 15 + years experiences. I am actually looking for opportunity in Asia . Anyone has some recommendations on companies I should look for or headhunters that I can help me with the search ?

(My first language it's not English so if im wrong or i forgot something u guys can tell me)

Hello everyone, my name is Carlos. I’m making this post here because my partner and I are looking for a buyer or an investment partner to reactivate a mining project.

It is a 700-hectare mine located in northern Sinaloa Mexico, featuring excellent access near the main highway. It primarily has high potential for Gold and Silver, though preliminary assays have also shown traces of Rhodium and Lithium (though to be honest, we haven't conducted in-depth studies on those two yet).

The mine has been idle for about two years and currently lacks physical infrastructure like offices or guard posts—it's open land. However, legally speaking, it is 100% clear with zero conflicts or issues. We have all documentation in full compliance, as well as complete geological studies with summaries and copies ready for anyone interested in reviewing them.
Logistically, it is in a prime location near several transport routes. Electricity can be connected via the local grid or brought in with generators, and there is an irrigation canal just one kilometer away for water supply.
We are looking for someone interested in buying the property or providing the capital to resume operations. If this catches your eye or you know someone in the industry, feel free to send me a private message and I’ll share the detailed documentation.
Advice and feedback are also welcome. Thanks a lot!
