If you seek to significantly expand the mine’s tailings, waste rock, or heap leach facilities, you may have to prepare a new or supplemental EIA.

For about ten years until about 2005 I used to attend all the Los Angeles opera productions. Placido Domingo was, and still is, in charge of the music. Occasionally he would sing in an opera—what a thrill to see and hear him live. I vaguely recall that in the program notes, there were news pieces [...]

Posted in Australia and New Zealand, Jobs and Salaries, mining, Money & Mining, tagged Australia, cost estimator, jobs on March 12, 2012 | 4 Comments »
The arrival at a big number before a project and the logging of smaller ones during – that is what I associate with the role of a cost estimator. It is one profession that I feel I know, not that I can do it; I just grew up with it.
It’s the Mining System. March Not Into the Valley of Death.
Posted in consulting, mining, tagged mining, system analysis on March 10, 2012 | 1 Comment »
The individual soldier may fight well. But he too will march into the valley of death if the general’s battle strategy is bad. So it is in mining. The individual miner may be skilled, but he will fail if the mine is badly managed.

Today we were contacted by a vendor who came looking for our opinion on his product, and whether we thought it would be of use in the mining industry. Sometimes it can be easy to discern whether something will have any value to a miner, yes or no, quite simple. Other times it can be [...]

The Wisconsin legislature has just posted a proposed new law on mining in the state. The full document is available at this link. At 191 pages it is not a short read; but it is a must-read.
