Book Description
Africa needs power—power to enhance the welfare of its people and expand its economies. But Sub-Saharan Africa’s power sector has the lowest generation capacity in the world. Two-thirds of the regional population remains without electricity and even those with access consume the least among the world’s regions. Businesses say unreliable electricity is a major hurdle. Meanwhile, vast energy resources remain untapped. One possible solution is to leverage the mining industry’s substantial need for power as an anchor for energy infrastructure development. 'The Power of the Mine: A Transformative Opportunity for Sub-Saharan Africa' is the first study to systematically analyze both the potential and the challenges of power-mining integration. The findings show that industry demand for electricity can be a game changer. Mining operations often devote a quarter or more of operating costs to electricity. This consistent, high-volume demand can spur development of national power systems, thus expanding electrification for the populace. As a result, citizens can also benefit from safe, adequate access to electricity. Countries benefit from larger exports and tax revenues, more business and job opportunities, and higher GDP. Utilities benefit from having creditworthy mining partners as a core source of revenue that attracts investment. And mines benefit from the significant cost reductions a stable power grid provides. 'The Power of the Mine' will be of interest to policymakers, researchers, and business analysts engaged in energy infrastructure development.

L'Industrie minière dans nos colonies
L' industrie minière du zinc en France, mi XIXe à mi XXe siècle
Author: Claude Dubois

Book Description
A l'exception des Malines dans le Gard, la production minière de zinc en France repose sur la blende, minerai recherché par les métallurgistes continentaux lorsque les gisements calaminaires deviennent insuffisants, vers 1880. Ces mines profitent des réseaux de chemins de fer pour écouler leurs produits, de l'avènement de la perforation mécanique, des téléphériques, des progrès des appareils de séparation et de lavage des minerais, puis, après la Première Guerre mondiale, de la flottation. Un historique de chacune de ces techniques nouvelles est dressé. Le site de référence est la mine Pyrénéenne de Sentein, qui produit 9,5 % du tonnage marchand français entre 1854 et 1953. Bien que la plupart des exploitants s'y conduisent comme des pirates, la nature des minerais et l'altitude les obligent souvent à se tenir à la pointe du progrès. C'est notamment le cas pour les premiers Anglais qui y investissent, ainsi qu'à Pierrefitte. Les sociétés Penarroya, Asturienne et Vieille Montagne prennent l'exploitation en main durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. La baisse des teneurs et la chute des cours liée à la Guerre de Corée entraînent la fermeture de la mine en 1953, avant d'avoir pu y introduire les méthodes d'exploitation intensive américaines et malgré l'adoption pionnière en France d'un milieu dense
