Yesterday I finished a three-day EduMine webcast on Mining Investment – Understand the Risks. Today I took my own advice to heart and attended a presentation by Luquman Shaheen of Panoro Minerals Ltd on their projects in Peru. Should I invest? Should I advise you to invest? Should we join Hudbay Minerals who own some seven percent of the company in the excitement of new prospects in a mining-potential-rich part of Peru? (more…)

On the plane from Santiago to Dallas, I sat next to an Australian from Newcastle. He told me that he was on a round-the-world trip to promote his product. He explained that his company makes the wire ropes used on the big shovels so common in open-pit mining. (more…)

Mining Opera Redux: Domingo’s Dames and Marlin Maidens
Posted in Environment, Human relations and mining, Latin America, mining, Mining history, Peru, tagged catherine nolan, environmental law alliance, Goldcorp, jennifer moore, marlin, marlin mine, MiningWatch, placido domingo on March 14, 2012 | 3 Comments »
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 hope it does. (more…)

A group of professors sat around a table in a glass-clad building and wondered why they are not involved in oil sands mining. They talked of getting funding for a new professorial chair—why does the oil sands industry not sponsor a chair at our university? They bemoaned the fact that none of their students wants to go and work at the oil sands mines. (more…)
