Can platinum ores be found on the beach?
Platinum, like gold, can be alluvially transported from a lode and found in ore-grade sand deposits, so yes, conceivable, platinum ores can be found on the beach. Platinum nuggets from placer deposits are far rarer than gold nuggets and are highly valued by collectors.

When did people first hear about gold in California that started the rush?
After information had confirmed that James Marshall had struck gold in 1848, residents who lived in in Oregon, Hawaii, Meico and Central America, got the news first and moved there, becoming the first of the miners. The Gold Rush was the largest mass migration in US history.
Yes. Pyrite is inorganic. It is not produced from any processes that involve organisms.
Difference between K-mean and K-medoids algorithm for clustering techniques in data mining?
Both of them utilize expectation-maximization strategy to converge to a minimum error condition. While K-Medoids require the cluster centters to be centroids, in k-Means the centers could be anywhere in the sample space. k-Medoids is more robust to outliners than k-Means therefore results in more quality clustering. It is also computationally more complex.

What year did year mining start in Australia?
Mining prior to the arrival of the Europeans cannot be defined by a date. For thousands of years, the Aborigines had already been mining ochre (used in art and for ceremonial purposes) and stone. They established quarries and transportation routes for trading between tribes. In regards to European settlement, mining started following the discovery of coal in the Newcastle area. Originally discovered by excaped convict William Bryant in 1791, it was not reported until an English officer found a coal seam, in 1797, whilst searching for escaped convicts. Coal was mined and exported, beginning in 1799. The first coal mining settlement was established at Newcastle in 1801.

Galena is a mineral composed of lead and sulfur, and this mineral, PbS, is the primary ore of lead. There is also a good bit of silver associated with galena, and silver is often recovered as a byproduct of lead processing. A link can be found below to check facts and gather more information.

What responsibility do you have to prevent the mining of uranium?
An open question exists as to why an individual would want to prevent uranium mining. Until a better, cleaner way to generate electric power comes along, we are stuck running what we have (including nuclear power plants). Our focus needs to be developing and moving to those cleaner power generation technologies. Uranium is a necessary nuclear fuel, and our efforts should be aimed at safety of nuclear facilities and at environmental issues surrounding uranium mining (and all mining, for that matter).
What involves moving rocks and soil from the earths surface to expose materials to be mined?
This is called removing overburden, and usually requires heavy machinery; eg: to access coal seams, sometimes entire mountain tops are removed.
