Mining Journal presents a back-to-basics workshop

Led by Chris Hinde, Editorial Director of Mining Journal, the workshop will deliver a comprehensive but straightforward (no jargon) explanation of what the global mining industry is, and how it works. The event is aimed at people working on the periphery of the industry (the financial community, lawyers, service providers, etc) who would benefit from an overview of mining, and be in a better position to develop business opportunities as a result.
