Mine Workers.

[Barrabart]

G'day all,

Just wondering how many of you on here are working or have worked in the mining game and if so where abouts, just thought it might be interesting, who knows a few of us might have worked in the same places.

I'll start it off,

Charters Towers Gold Mine, Charters Towers
Thalanga Copper Mine, Charters Towers
Selwyn Copper Mine, Cloncurry
Pajingo Gold Mine, Charters Towers
Sepon Copper Mine, Laos
Lihir Gold Mine, PNG

I've thrown this topic up on another couple of sites, always amazes me who's worked where, sometimes people have been on the same mine site and not even known each other, or maybe, they've tried to forget, haha.

Catch ya's later.

Presently working for Swick Mining Services, doing field service on diamond drills underground, based at Cosmos Nickel mine (Xstrata) just north of Leinster. Travel to Jundee (Newmont), Agnew (Goldfields), Sinclair (Xstrata) and Gwalia (St Barbaras) on a regular basis. Previous to that I was based in Kambalda doing the same thing but moved to Perth just over 12 months ago.  The BOSS works for Thundelarra explorations in Perth but was working at St Ives for Goldfields when we were Kambalda based.
