Current Poll

Mining People just celebrated our twenty-fifth birthday, which got us thinking about how the industry has changed over that time.

For this month’s poll, we wanted to ask you about the areas where you thought the industry had improved, and where it had gone backwards, over the past 25 or so years.

I feel the mining industry has IMPROVED in the following areas compared to 25 years ago. (Choose all that apply.)
I feel the mining industry has NOT IMPROVED in the following areas compared to 25 years ago. (Choose all that apply.)
Feel free to leave a comment
Lastly, please tell us a little bit about yourself: How long have you worked in mining?
I am
