37. Mining doesn't make poor countries rich. Nations where the most mining takes place are also some of the poorest countries in the world. In these countries, national governments are helping mining companies to get the minerals they want. The small amount of money that poor countries get from mining companies is taken by international banks, not local people. Fourteen Majority World countries get at least a third of their export revenues from minerals. Their external debts are 1.4 times greater than their Gross National Product (GNP). 1 Like

38. Mining is one of the most dangerous and deadliest jobs on earth. Mining kills and injures more workers than any other industry. For example: * The USA: From January to October 1999, 45mine workers died because of workplace accidents. * South Africa: One worker dies and 12 are seriously injured for every ton of gold produced. * China: 3,362 people died as a result of accidents in coal mines in 1996. * World-wide: Uranium mining has caused 20,000 deaths since the 1950s. Uranium mining has exposed more workers to radiation than any other industry.

39. Diamond jewelry is the most expensive jewelry of them all. In 2009, a diamond weighing 7.03 carats was sold for staggering $9.49 million. This was so far the most expensive diamond in the history. * Diamonds can only be scratched by other diamonds. * Around 50% of all natural diamonds originate from Africa. * Diamond rings are the most popular form of diamond jewelry. * The world's largest diamond consumer is United States. * The world's fastest growing diamond market is China. * Not all diamonds found on our planet originate from our planet as some have come to our planet with meteorites. source: http://interestingdiamondfacts..com/2012/05/50-facts-about-diamonds.html 1 Like 1 Share

44. About 70 percent of the planet is ocean, with an average depth of more than 12,400 feet. Given that photons (light) can’t penetrate more than 330 feet below the water’s surface, most of our planet is in a perpetual state of darkness. 8 Likes 1 Share

47. Much of the life in the oceans, as on land, is invisible to the naked eye. For instance, if you’ve ever swallowed a milliliter of ocean water, know that you also gulped 1 million bacteria and 10 million viruses give or take a few. No need to worry though, swimmers around the world swallow some ocean water during their ventures into the water, without ill effects. 3 Likes 1 Share

Wow, truly fascinating. Imagine the amount of gold stored away, versus the one beneath the ocean that we can't access. Nice work, Explorers. |
