Mining Journal presents a back-to-basics seminar on the mining industry. Chris Hinde, Mining Journal editorial director will provide 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 in associated sectors (the financial community, lawyers, PR companies, equipment manufacturers, service providers, etc) who would benefit from an overview of mining, and be in a better position as a result to develop more business opportunities.
“We all have knowledge gaps, and our ‘Mining in a Day’ seminar will help fill many of them,” said Chris Hinde, the editorial director of Mining Journal, which hosts the event.
