Here is a link to a good blog posting on working on a mine as a chemist. To encourage you to click the link and read the entire post, I quote here the first two paragraphs:

Neil Jagger, Supaflo, and Mining in Cloying Prose
Posted in Australia and New Zealand, Coal, communication, Metallurgy, People, tagged Australia, mining, neil jagger, supaflo, thickener on April 21, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Hyperbole and inflation in advertizing to the mining industry is an expected standard. But the prose posted on the web about Neil Jagger reaches new heights of cloying adulation. This would be forgivable were the prose precise and readable; but when the grammar is suspect and the intent even more suspect, we can but [...]
Hypios and Kaolin Mining Competition
Posted in Latin America, Metallurgy, tagged Brazil, fronteiras mineacoes, hypios, kaolin on July 27, 2010 | 2 Comments »

Lithium mining in Bolivia for electric cars and depression

Where will all the lithium come from? One report [...]

The future of mining is undefinable. But that is no reason to miss out on the opportunity to attend another conference. From November 19 to 21, 2008 you can go to The University of New South Wales and the Australian Institute on Mining and Metallurgy’s conference The First International Future Mining Conference [...]
Lead prices up; does this mean we are having more fun?
Posted in About the news, Investing & Finance, Metallurgy on July 11, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
A fellow InfoMine blogger notes that the price of lead is way up. I thought of lead paint, but realized more painting of expensive houses cannot possibly be the reason for the increased price of lead. I could, however, not think of any other uses for lead. Hence to the web to find these common [...]
Memorial Day reflections
Posted in About the news, Metallurgy on May 27, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
This weekend the two grandsons got three new games for the PlayStation 2. The room resounds with the clash and bang of competing armies and navies and combatants as they guide them through the maze and the mayhem. I had qualms about so many new violent games. And with tomorrow being Memorial Day is all [...]
