We want to gauge the mood of the industry, so tell us what you think.

If a young person told you they wanted a career in mining, would you tell them the future is bright? Or would you suggest they try a different path?

Do you see a bright future for the mining industry and would you encourage young people to consider a career in it?

Tell us about yourself. I am:

Currently employed in mining and intend to stay in the industry
Currently employed and intending to leave the mining industry
Previously employed and attempting to get back into mining
Previously employed with no intention of trying to get back into mining
Seeking my first job in the mining industry.

Please also feel free to add an optional anonymous comment here.
