Green card covers. Condition: Very good. 19 Pp. Gold was first discovered at Oldham, Nova Scotia in 1861, and the district was formally recognized by the government in 1862. It was actively mined throughout the rest of the 19th century. In 1870, the Oldham Sterling Gold Company was founded by a group of English capitalists, but eventually went into insolvency. The mine was then bought by a Mr. Gray of Halifax, Nova Scotia, and in 1903 acquired by William Arthur Brennan, a journalist and publisher from Summerside, Prince Edward Island, who incorporated the Oldham Sterling Gold Company Ltd. Upon Brennan's death in 1916, the land was inherited by his wife and sons, Rosara Lefurgey Brennan, Arthur R. Brennan, and Charles Victor Brennan, with Rosara's interests later passing to her daughter, Dorothy J. Sharp, after her death. After a few failed sale attempts, the family was able to sell the property to Avon Gold Mines Ltd. in 1935, accepting shares in the company as partial payment. They continued to manage mine operations and correspond with on-site personnel, while remaining in Summerside, or other areas of Canada. Avon Gold Mines Ltd. was incorporated in Montreal, Quebec on January 25th, 1935, with the express purpose of mining gold, and performing all surrounding activities, in Oldham, Nova Scotia. In 1943, Avon ceased operations due to inability to pay their bills. By the 1950s, ownership of the mining properties at Oldham had reverted back to the Brennan family, who were unable to sell again. Today, the mine is no longer active.…

Condition: Bueno. Minerales estratégicos de John B. DeMille es una obra de referencia dentro de la literatura técnica sobre recursos minerales y su importancia geopolítica, elaborada a partir de estudios oficiales y datos industriales de posguerra. El libro analiza los llamados "minerales estratégicos", entendidos como aquellos materiales cuya disponibilidad resulta crítica para el funcionamiento de la industria moderna y, especialmente, para la producción bélica y el desarrollo tecnológico.La obra se organiza como un compendio sistemático en el que se describen aproximadamente decenas de minerales relevantes para la economía industrial del siglo XX, abordando para cada uno su uso principal, distribución geográfica de la producción, niveles de reservas conocidas, métodos de obtención y problemas asociados a su suministro. DeMille parte de la experiencia acumulada durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, cuando la planificación de recursos minerales se convirtió en un elemento clave de la estrategia de las grandes potencias.El enfoque del libro es eminentemente analítico y práctico: no se limita a describir propiedades geológicas, sino que integra la dimensión económica y logística de la minería mundial, incluyendo la dependencia de ciertos países productores, la concentración de recursos críticos y la necesidad de almacenamiento estratégico por parte de los estados. Este enfoque convierte la obra en un antecedente importante de lo que hoy se denomina geopolítica de materias primas.En la edición de Aguilar difundida en España, el texto se presenta como manual técnico de consulta, utilizado tanto en ámbitos industriales como académicos, especialmente en ingeniería, economía de recursos y estudios estratégicos vinculados a la industria minera.
