Movie synopsis

The History Channel presents an in-depth, fascinating look at that magical block of shininess that is gold in this multi-disciplinary historical documentary. Since the beginning of time, the quest for gold has motivated people of every culture. It has been mined, melted, panned and bartered; it has been the reason for huge wars and migrations. Over 3 hours long, this look into the history of man's relationship with gold is nothing short of compelling.

mining history. Lessons learnt and still to learn.

Created: 06/11/10
I have always had a facination with the history of goldmining. I myself have been a miner for over 40 years and in that time have experienced many changes, from purely physical mining to the advent of large machinery and highly mechanized mining. Safety is another factor that has improved out of site with the number of injuries and fatalities being dramatically reduced here in australia.All stories on mining subjects contributes to my knowledge which in turn can be passed on to following generations. You never know that tiny spec of extra knowledge might make a job easier or save a life.
