This blog and those listed in the blogroll to the right deal with mining–and the controversies that swirl around mining.
Last week at the Alaska Miners Association meeting in Juneau, I presented a talk on mining blogs for mining controversies. Here is a link to the Powerpoint and talking notes that I used in my presentation. Maybe you will enjoy. Maybe you will agree or disagree with what I say. Regardless please let me have your comments.
Thanks for sharing. Would love to read your take on sustainability reporting in the mining sector. It is now common practice for majors. Is it doing any good and does it add value? Will juniors pick it up?
i started my own blog after reading yours for several weeks – an inspiration! i think blogs are great, although it’s difficult deciding what and how to say things which are confidential…
Would love your opinion on the “Carbon Tax” issue in Australia at the moment. Good blog. Dave
It seems that the mining industry is always in the news, but it’s not always in the news for the right reasons. In the last couple of years we’ve seen the mining industry become the whipping boy for unions and regulators, along with all their lawyers. We’ve seem coal mining accidents, trapped coalminers, and environmental disasters concerning mining. No, things in the United States have been pretty mellow, but around the world it often seems as if there is a coal mining accident at least every couple of weeks involving many deaths.
Great blog. I would also like to know your take on sustainable reporting.
