A mining journalist contact of mine has been asked to write an article on
Mining History for a leading mining publication and he poses the questions -
Who cares? Why bother?
Those are the sort of questions which might be asked by his readers --
principally middle-management at current mines, struggling to make a profit
despite today's low metal prices. Could you reassure them that the history
of the mining industry is relevant to today?
