Mining In Manitouwadge
Underground in Manitouwadge with Manroc. When you remove the color from an image your eyes are drawn to the main subject of the environment and hopefully it coincides with the subject you intended to spotlight.

Last week I had the opportunity to travel to Manitouwadge Ontario to create images for Manroc Developments. We covered their undreground operations including their Alimak Raise Climber at Barrick Gold’s Williams Mine as well as some fabrication processes at their multiple industrial shops in the town of Manitouwadge. The Alimak is an interesting piece of equipment (from Manroc’s Site) The Alimak method raises between levels in a safe and effective manner. Drilling, loading and blasting are all performed from the platform of the Raise Climber, which is adapted to fit the precise dimensions and shape of the raise. Furthermore, the Alimak Raise Climber implements a rack and pinion rail, designed to carry air and water for increased ventilation.
I always enjoy photographing the Alimak and this time was no different. It can be a challenge in some locations especially if it’s over an open area but this time I got to get up close and personal at ground level.
Here is a different image from past shoot of the Alimak

In the past I have photographed the Alimak Raise Climber from the loading platform creating images before it rises into the raise but soon I will be getting more up close and personal with the Alimak when I visit Manroc Developements in Manitouwadge Ontario.
