He repeats Acheson's argument that the region lacks major urban centres, but adds that the Maritimes were also lacking the great rivers that led to the cheap and abundant hydro-electric power, key to Quebec and Ontario's urban and manufacturing development, that the extraction costs of Maritime resources were higher ( particularly in the case of Cape Breton coal ), and that the soils of the region were poorer and thus the agricultural sector weaker.

Ireland had no significant sources of coal, the fuel of the time, and Dublin was not a centre of ship manufacturing, the other main driver of industrial development in Britain and Ireland.

The takeoff stage of economic development came with the railroad revolution in the 1840s, which opened up new markets for local products, created a pool of middle manager, increased the demand for engineers, architects and skilled machinists and stimulated investments in coal and iron.

It started with the mechanisation of the textile industries, the development of iron-making techniques and the increased use of refined coal.

The Newport News Waterworks was begun as a project of Collis P. Huntington as part of the development of the lower peninsula with the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, the coal piers on the harbor of Hampton Roads, and massive shipyard which were the major sources of industrial growth which helped found Newport News as a new independent city in 1896.

In 1881, 15 years of explosive development began under the leadership of Collis P. Huntington, whose new Peninsula Extension of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway from Richmond opened up transportation along the Peninsula and provided a new pathway for the railroad to bring West Virginia bituminous coal to port for coastal shipping and worldwide export.

This geological feature played a decisive role in the development of coal mining in the Ruhr.

As well as this, factories such as flour mills and beer breweries and mining practices resulted in the creation of infrastructure such as roads and railway lines, during a development period that lasted until 1904.

Armour drove the development of many important technologies of the Ancient World, including wood lamination, mining, metal refining, vehicle manufacture, leather processing, and later decorative metal working.

The presence of hundreds of thousands of land mines in Eritrea, particularly along the border with Ethiopia, presents a serious impediment to future development of the mining sector.

In the latter part of the century, economic activity quickened with the development of large-scale, precious metal mining.

Economies tend to follow a developmental progression that takes them from a heavy reliance on agriculture and mining, toward the development of manufacturing ( e. g. automobiles, textiles, shipbuilding, steel ) and finally toward a more service-based structure.

Heavy machinery is needed in mining for exploration and development, to remove and stockpile overburden, to break and remove rocks of various hardness and toughness, to process the ore and for reclamation efforts after the mine is closed.

These codes and regulations all require the common steps of Environmental impact assessment, development of Environmental management plans, Mine closure planning ( which must be done before the start of mining operations ), and Environmental monitoring during operation and after closure.

By the early 2000s, community development issues and resettlements became mainstreamed in Bank mining projects.

Many nations are taking direct steps to protect the ecology of the taiga by prohibiting logging, mining, oil and gas production, and other forms of development.

The discovery and isolation of radium in uranium ore ( pitchblende ) by Marie Curie sparked the development of uranium mining to extract the radium, which was used to make glow-in-the-dark paints for clock and aircraft dials.

According to author, Douglas Brinkley, President Harding came to the most northern U. S. territory in order to " open up Alaska lands " for oil, mining, and timber development and industry.

Although mining and precious stones have been human interests throughout the history of civilization, the development of the related sciences of economic geology and mineralogy did not occur until the 18th century.

Also in this year, mining is occurring on the Moon for the development of lunar homes.

Dunbar Cave is also reported to have been mined for saltpeter during the Mexican War, but commercial development has erased any evidence of this mining.

There are two principal phases of underground mining: development mining and production mining.

There are six steps in development mining: remove previously blasted material ( muck out round ), Scaling ( removing any unstable slabs of rock hanging from the roof and sidewalls to protect workers and equipment from damage ), support excavation, drill rock face, load explosives, and blast explosives.
