Lithium mining activity going on at the Old Oyo National Park, the first frame showed the sorting process of the earthy minerals at the Old Oyo National park while the other two videos shows logistics activities of the bikes. Ranging from there are multiple entries to the site either from Oyo State via Kishi and Igbeti or via Bani a border town along Kwara and Oyo State. Once a bike enters the forest, there are about 7 - 8 checkpoints within the forest which is controlled by locals providing security for miners in the forest. Each of this checkpoint charges each bike per trip ranging from 100naira, 200,300 and 500naira while the last checkpoint which will lead you to Daba (illegal mining) charges 2,700naira per trip. And the estimated population of the bikes plying through the area is around 3000 to 5000 bikes. Which is significantly increasing, the mining which has started about 8yrs ago has been accepted by all parties both locals and foreigners including the Chinese who are actively participating in buying the minerals there. It is an organized crime and has many wings because those who do not mine but just look for logistics companies to pick up the items earn about 500,000 naira on each truck they bring forward. The local security earn more than 300,000 naira daily for those recieving 100naira as gate fee. The Federal Govt and State Govt needs to pay a huge and urgent attention to this mining activity, it is a billion dollar economy which is been illegally mined.

Another Shocking episode of KISHI and Soro village. Every entry point in Igbeti also collects the sum of 50,000naira per truck and small cars pay the sum of 7,000naira, the Baba Igbori entry point which is just for motorcycles pay the sum of 3,000naira. The interesting part of it, the population of okada riders coming to Daba daily will be at a figure of 3,000, to 5,000 motorcycles and I am not capping here. Through that road, the illegal miners use the road to get food supplies, which will go through the Illegal mining site (Daba). The bikes will go through Soro village at Kishi or go in through Boni, Kwara State. Like I said everybody in the community is benefiting from this Illegal mining including the traditional rulers and it is racketeering.

This is an illegal mining site in the northern part of Nigeria. According to the source, the site is owned by the politicians and other elites in the country. Despite the insecurity in the region, the site is said to be well secured. Many illegal activities are happening at the site which includes prostitution, drugs trafficking and so on. In as much as we want this country to succeed, we must retire all the useless politicians in this country.

The #DRCongo has directly accused Rwanda and the RDF/M23 forces of responsibility for the deaths of more than 200 Congolese civilians following a landslide at the Rubaya coltan mining site. Victims reportedly include miners, children, and market women. According to the DRC government, the Rubaya site had been officially designated a “red zone,” rendering all mining activities there illegal. This designation was issued early last year. Authorities further state that in June of the previous year, approximately 300 people were killed at the same site under similar circumstances. According to the Congolese government the continued presence and control of #RDF/M23 forces in the area has enabled illegal mining operations that place civilian lives at risk for economic gain. It also accuses the international community of complicity, citing the continued purchase of minerals smuggled through Rwanda. The DRC maintains that minerals extracted from Rubaya are conflict minerals that are sold into global supply chains via Rwanda.

Yesterday I rode down to the Umzingwane river from The City of Bulawayo. In the course of the ride I was able to inspect the state of some of the Umzingwane’s tributaries and the river itself. The good news, as shown by the attached video and pictures, is that the Umzingwane itself has been in flood and is still flowing strongly. The bad news is that I witnessed illegal gold mining in virtually every tributary, and very few tributaries were actually flowing. In all the pools in tributaries the water is exceptionally muddy, a sign of massive erosion upstream. The attached photos show tributaries not flowing and some of these discolored pools. After so much rain these tributaries should still have been flowing but they weren’t. To explain the significance of this I need to emphasize that the catchment has had at least 600mm of rain this season so far and last week alone had over 100 mms of rain - and yet the bulk of the tributaries weren’t flowing yesterday. Despite all the rain we have had Umzingwane as at the 21st January is only at 30,1 % full. In contrast Mshabezi dam is 100% full and yet its catchment area is very close to Umzingwane’s. The difference is that whereas Mshabezi’s catchment is mainly in the north eastern Matopos and has hardly any gold mining, Umzingwane’s catchment has been utterly devastated by illegal mining. Towards the end of 2024 Government banned alluvial mining in river courses. Yesterday I saw numerous miners hard at it. As stated above nearly every tributary of the Umzingwane has evidence of mining taking place. There are large camps of illegal miners. Despite this I didn’t see a single EMA or ZRP patrol. These miners are continuing their illegal work with impunity. The consequences for our City are devastating. Government needs to bring this existential threat to an end immediately otherwise Bulawayo’s water crisis will continue, indeed worsen. We are fortunate this year to have had a good rains which have put some water in our dams. In a drought year there will be almost no inflow. So this illegal mining must be brought to an end immediately.

Osogbo Community Erupts: Residents Block Suspected Illegal Miners, Demand Proof of Approval Tension is rising in the Oke-Ijetu area of Osogbo, as residents have halted the activities of suspected illegal miners operating within the community. The locals, particularly around Olowookere, opposite Fehintolu Medical Clinic, confronted the miners and demanded to see official approval documents authorizing their operations. According to residents, the miners failed to provide any valid permits, resulting in further suspicion and outrage. Community members say they are deeply worried about the potential health risks and environmental damage linked to the mining activities. They are calling on the Osun State Government and the Nigerian Police Force to urgently intervene, verify the legality of the operations, and protect the wellbeing of residents. As tensions continue to mount, residents insist they will not allow mining to commence until proper authorization is confirmed and safety concerns are addressed. : : copied from Osogbo Updates

The devastating state of the Birim River has prompted concerned youth to confront illegal miners operating on the river at Kwabeng in the Atiwa West District of the Eastern Region. The miners, using 'changfan' machines, are digging from the riverbed, heavily polluting the water. The youth are calling on traditional leaders and the District Chief Executive to take swift action to stop the illegal mining activities, warning that if nothing is done, they will be forced to take matters into their own hands.

Decoding Aravallis' Controversy: Aravallis will not die because of the Supreme Court, they are already dying because of illegal mining. B/w 1975 and 2019, 8% of the Aravalli hills vanished due to illegal mining, and studies warn this could rise to 22% by 2059. 1/4th of Rajasthan’s Aravalli hills have already disappeared. These are documented facts. Not just that, Illegal mining has also taken human lives. In July 2022, DSP Surender Singh was killed on duty when a truck crushed him while he was investigating illegal stone mining in Nuh. This is the real cost of unregulated, mafia-driven mining! SC's latest order has not deregulated mining. It has frozen new leases, ordered scientific mapping, and tightened control to stop illegal mining. So, it's very important to understand the judgment, to protect the Aravallis. And always read a thing in entirety before you panic!

Here is the tiktoker Abdul Aminu Gwaska, a native of Zamfara State, who acts as the head of a dangerous mining syndicate currently expanding its footprint across Ilesha. The documented evidence reveals that he coordinates multiple high intensity illegal mining sites by actively recruiting a massive influx of external laborers to carry out the physical excavation and processing of gold. To fuel this operation, his syndicate even utilizes a digital recruitment and sales infrastructure, providing a direct link for individuals to submit their personal information to join the illicit trade or purchase their illegal products. ​Furthermore, intelligence shows that Aminu is actively collaborating with local village heads and traditional chiefs, who welcome and house these illegal miners within the community. This high level collusion grants his syndicate a social shield, effectively protecting their activities from accountability while they systematically destroy farmlands and pollute vital water bodies. If this dangerous partnership between illegal miners and local leadership is allowed to persist, it will inevitably lead to a total security breach. The Osun State government must take immediate and decisive action to dismantle this network before this deep-seated collaboration spirals into an uncontrollable regional crisis

🇸🇸 Gunmen kill more than 70 at South Sudan gold mine Unidentified gunmen killed more than 70 people and wounded many others at a gold mining site at Jebel Iraq in South Sudan’s Central Equatoria State, on the outskirts of Juba, the Associated Press reports. The Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/Army–In Opposition (SPLM/A-IO) blamed government forces, saying that “full responsibility for the massacre rests” with the government. Gold mining in South Sudan is largely unregulated, with state governments operating their own sectors without the involvement of the national government, and Jebel Iraq has previously been the site of violent clashes involving illegal gold miners. 🎥 Aweil News Agency

The irony is that what the Ghanaians are protesting about is not 10% of the same environmental catastrophe that is happening in Nigeria (illegal surface mining). I just screen recorded the path of the Niger River from Google Earth. Notice how it starts off clear in Niger Republic, then starts to yellow after it enters Nigeria, then becomes sand brown once it gets to Kainji (major illegal mining hub), then gets silted up to the point of having multiple sand islands between Lokoja and Onitsha. Look at the same comparison of the Benue River and how it is clear in Cameroon, then turns brown once it flows into Nigeria and passes through the multiple illegal mining areas in Nigeria's northeast. What you are looking at is a live map from space showing how over 70 million Nigerians whose water, food or livelihood come from these rivers and their surrounding water tables are being poisoned by lead, arsenic and other toxic runoff materials from illegal mining. What you are also looking at is a map that shows the riverbeds of Nigeria's 2 inland water lifelines silting up and becoming shallower, leading to dam failure and flooding in the surrounding estuaries - something that the idiots in Abuja are paid $1,000 by foreign NGOs to misreport as "Climate Change" by the same interests benefitting from unregistered mining of all kinds going on in Nigeria. What you are also looking at is a map that shows how the yellow or brown spots in the rivers' course through the North and Middle Belt match remarkably well with spots where genocidal incidents that drove communities off their land permanently were recorded. Anyway since I'm now Comrade Hundeyinovich of the Russian FSB, Twitter will ensure that only about 9 people see this so...

The documented evidence reveals that he coordinates multiple high intensity illegal mining sites by actively recruiting a massive influx of external laborers to carry out the physical excavation and processing of gold. To fuel this operation, his syndicate even utilizes a digital recruitment and sales infrastructure, providing a direct link for individuals to submit their personal information to join the illicit trade or purchase their illegal products. ​Furthermore, intelligence shows that Aminu is actively collaborating with local village heads and traditional chiefs, who welcome and house these illegal miners within the community. This high level collusion grants his syndicate a social shield, effectively protecting their activities from accountability while they systematically destroy farmlands and pollute vital water bodies. If this dangerous partnership between illegal miners and local leadership is allowed to persist, it will inevitably lead to a total security breach. You should take a look into his operation and also his sponsors and his collaborators.

An interesting thought I had on my morning walk. Filters on their own are not effective to censor all spam from motivated attackers, that's true. But filters do make spam more prone to censorship at the mining pool level. Miners can get away with mining transactions that are used for illegal purposes because they have plausible deniability: they don't know what they are used for, they are "just including what's relayed" by the p2p network. But with many forms of spam, such as OP_RETURN, it is not so. They do not have plausible deniability. MARA is perfectly happy inscribing NFTs and non-standard troll OP_RETURNS via its slipstream service. Since they are legally low risk, it makes sense for them to profit from it. However, if I was to submit something really nasty like torrent links to child pornography (or child porn jpegs) or Mein Kampf (illegal in many countries) MARA could not plausibly deny that it is publishing and distributing illegal content. It’s right there in the OP_RETURN for everyone to see. Consequently they would probably not allow it. If they did, they would get in trouble. And it would be much easier for the content submitters to get caught. If nonstandard node relay software (i.e. libre relay) started being abused by pedophiles, its likely mining pools would just ban these types of higher-risk peers. Of course the pedophiles can always run their own mining pools and get a few transactions every month: bitcoin would remain censorship resistant if you are patient enough. But now, with relaxation of standardness rules and “filters” anybody can easily publish blatantly illegal content as OP_RETURNS and get it relayed to a mining pool in a more censorship-resistant way, cheaper and more effective. Good? Bad? It's possible mining pools are going to have no choice but to develop software that analyzes transaction OP_RETURN to assess what they will publish or not. They may develop content moderation policies, because the illegality of the OP_RETURN content will be blatant and they will have no plausible deniability. I'm honestly pleasantly surprised that miners haven't already done this for obviously "higher risk" transactions like coinjoin. However coinjoin transactions are not illegal per se, and there is very wide international support for financial privacy. Not so for child porn. Once miners start developing software to moderate what transactions go in the blockchain, a Pandora's box is opened: if you can easily filter transactions that have illegal data in the OP_RETURN, why are you allowing whirlpool tx0? Why are you allowing coinjoins? Why are you allowing sanctioned addresses? Ironically, the attempt at making spam transactions less prone to censorship might make economic transactions more prone to censorship. Bitcoin is censorship resistant from a network perspective because anybody can mine anonymously. This censorship resistance is compounded when large centralized mining pools and mining farms have plausible deniability that the transactions they mine aren't blatantly illegal because they are anonymous (“there is no way to know”). The more mining is centralized, the more this component of censorship resistance matters. Non-monetary content puts that aspect at risk. I'm not sure I’m right, but I don't think this idea has been widely discussed. The only thing that can prevent certain txs formats (i.e. the low hanging fruit spam vectors like OP_RETURN) from making it into the chain is consensus rules. Yes I'm aware spammers will always find a way to get spam in eventually. It would be sad to see fork-level consensus to ban OP_RETURN entirely, because there are reasonable harm-reducing use cases for it (e.g. open timestamps). We are nowhere near consensus on restriction spam vectors at a consensus level, not even close. But who knows after 10 years of child porn being distributed via the Bitcoin network nodes and miners both will have had enough. It would be interesting to watch this play out.

An interesting thought I had on my morning walk. Filters on their own are not effective to censor all spam from motivated attackers, that's true. But filters do make spam more prone to censorship at the mining pool level. Miners can get away with mining transactions that are used for illegal purposes because they have plausible deniability: they don't know what they are used for, they are "just including what's relayed" by the p2p network. But with many forms of spam, such as OP_RETURN, it is not so. They do not have plausible deniability. MARA is perfectly happy inscribing NFTs and non-standard troll OP_RETURNS via its slipstream service. Since they are legally low risk, it makes sense for them to profit from it. However, if I was to submit something really nasty like torrent links to child pornography (or child porn jpegs) or Mein Kampf (illegal in many countries) MARA could not plausibly deny that it is publishing and distributing illegal content. It’s right there in the OP_RETURN for everyone to see. Consequently they would probably not allow it. If they did, they would get in trouble. And it would be much easier for the content submitters to get caught. If nonstandard node relay software (i.e. libre relay) started being abused by pedophiles, its likely mining pools would just ban these types of higher-risk peers. Of course the pedophiles can always run their own mining pools and get a few transactions every month: bitcoin would remain censorship resistant if you are patient enough. But now, with relaxation of standardness rules and “filters” anybody can easily publish blatantly illegal content as OP_RETURNS and get it relayed to a mining pool in a more censorship-resistant way, cheaper and more effective. Good? Bad? It's possible mining pools are going to have no choice but to develop software that analyzes transaction OP_RETURN to assess what they will publish or not. They may develop content moderation policies, because the illegality of the OP_RETURN content will be blatant and they will have no plausible deniability. I'm honestly pleasantly surprised that miners haven't already done this for obviously "higher risk" transactions like coinjoin. However coinjoin transactions are not illegal per se, and there is very wide international support for financial privacy. Not so for child porn. Once miners start developing software to moderate what transactions go in the blockchain, a Pandora's box is opened: if you can easily filter transactions that have illegal data in the OP_RETURN, why are you allowing whirlpool tx0? Why are you allowing coinjoins? Why are you allowing sanctioned addresses? Ironically, the attempt at making spam transactions less prone to censorship might make economic transactions more prone to censorship. Bitcoin is censorship resistant from a network perspective because anybody can mine anonymously. This censorship resistance is compounded when large centralized mining pools and mining farms have plausible deniability that the transactions they mine aren't blatantly illegal because they are anonymous (“there is no way to know”). The more mining is centralized, the more this component of censorship resistance matters. Non-monetary content puts that aspect at risk. I'm not sure I’m right, but I don't think this idea has been widely discussed. The only thing that can prevent certain txs formats (i.e. the low hanging fruit spam vectors like OP_RETURN) from making it into the chain is consensus rules. Yes I'm aware spammers will always find a way to get spam in eventually.

Suspected illegal mining explosion leaves Slovo Park in ruins, homes destroyed A devastating explosion tore through Slovo Park informal settlement in Ekurhuleni yesterday, July 4, hospitalizing at least three people and reducing several homes to rubble. The blast, suspected to be linked to illegal mining activities, left dozens of families displaced, with shacks and an RDP house destroyed in the chaos. Emergency services rushed to the scene, evacuating residents as the South African Police Service (SAPS) and a bomb squad investigated reports of explosives stored in a shack. Community members described a scene of destruction, with corrugated iron sheets and debris scattered across the area. Some residents reported up to 10 injuries, though official figures confirm three hospitalizations. Local authorities are working to provide temporary shelter for those affected, while the investigation continues to determine the exact cause and ensure no further explosives remain. The incident has raised concerns about the dangers of illegal mining in residential areas, leaving the Slovo Park community reeling and in urgent need of support.

THIS morning l left the Mining Town of Phalaborwa in Limpopo Province of South Africa after 6 days of providing an essential & critical technical service… I learnt several things about how mining can be effectively transform the lives of communities living adjacent to the mines. In Phalaborwa there is Foskor Mine & Phalaborwa Mining Company which employ thousands of people directly & indirectly… Here are a few things they do right: 1. For highly technical positions like Engineering & Artisans, & Managerial Posts, the companies are allowed to advertise & hire anyone from anywhere. 2. For general work & other positions that do not require special skills, there is a Community Forum responsible for selecting employees who get hired by the mines. These employees are taken from the townships & villages around. 3. The companies provide Learnerships to people from the surrounding communities selected by the Community Forum…. The beneficiaries of these learnerships get employed at the mining companies or they can use the skills elsewhere. So the companies are helping to skill the locals. 4. The PCF (Phalaborwa Community Forum) is a POWERFUL Group that ensures that the interests of the community are prioritised. The group can mobilise protests that disrupt mining operations IF they feel that the companies are neglecting the community. It is the PCF that approaches the mining companies with requests for funding community infrastructure like schools, clinics, & roads. 5. The Phalaborwa Mining Company (PMC) is now controlled by Chinese Investors and the only reputation they have is PAYING GOOD SALARIES… I never heard anyone speaking badly against the Chinese Investors. Despite the Great Works of the Community Forum, there are other people in Phalaborwa who feel that the Community Forum is led by corrupt people who ask for bribes to guarantee employment at the mines…. That said, the Community Forum remains an effective tool for safeguarding the interests of the community. I think President President of Zimbabwe’s govt can adopt a similar approach. Instead of leaving Cashvists like Farai Maguwu to go around harassing Mining Investors, Community Forums can be formed. The Members can include MPs, Councillors, Chiefs, Headmen, Opposition Politicians, Civil Servants in the area, & Ordinary Citizens….. The Community Forum will act as the bridge between the Community & the Mining Companies. Jamwanda
