I have a report on shaft mining. What should I Do?

-If you've got a report, and it's not copyrighted or you didn't write it, or you have obtained permission to post it here, then you may want to just add it. If it's not legal or rule abiding then it will simply be removed... information is information, people will at least learn something from it while it's there if it does get taken away. --Badharlick 00:56, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

--On a different note, someone ought to point out that minerals brought to the surface using a shaft are carried in a "skip", "bucket" or "kibble", and NOT a cage! --Badharlick 00:56, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

--added ore being transfered in skip, also that you can have a skip/cage combination--Kelapstick 22:24, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Confusion

Is this an article about a type of mining (aka Shaft mining) or is this an article about a mining shaft. There seems to be some inconsistency about what's being discussed. Right now I don't think there's any reason to make a separate article for a mining shaft, but I think this article should be reorganized to differentiate between the two topics. --Wizard191 (talk) 14:16, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
