Will somebody with knowledge and authority please stand up and tell us the truth. I refer to the great debate over the new attempt to reform the 1872 mining law. On the one hand we have John Chadwick. I have had many a drink with John in luxury bars in Denver. He is British, loves [...]

Posted in Enviromental, Global Warming, North America, Oil sands, People, tagged douglas silver, Edward Burtynsky, Ignatieff, Iowa, marxist, mining, Oil sands, Witwatersrand on January 27, 2009 | 4 Comments »
There is a vast hypocracy resident in most journalists. And environmentalists and Marxists. On Sunday night I was at a party where I fell into conversation with a young Turkish aethist who has chosen to complete his PhD at Simon Fraser University on the topic of the success of Marxism in France [...]

The United States Society of Mining Engineers (SME) has once again managed to publish a tasteless, insulting, puerile article in an otherwise reasonable journal.

Exploration for mining in British Columbia, Canada, and indeed world-wide is the subject of Roundup, the long-running, and ever-more-successful conference held the last week of January in Vancouver. As we run-up to the meeting, held at the Bayshore Inn overlooking the waters and mountains of Vancouver, let us recall some of the past events. And [...]
