Now Online: July Edition of MINING.com Magazine

By Cecilia Jamasmie, July 17th, 2009 - PERMALINK

Two years ago, Australia’s coal mining was booming and industries worldwide gobbled up coal as quickly as they could get it. Now, coal is being stockpiled and, in some cases, mining is being curtailed because world demand has fallen as coal-fired industries cut production.

In this issue we give you a complete overview of the status of the coal industry. We present the newest cost model for raw coal receiving and coal storage operations. We also analyze how the political landscape in Washington may affect the U.S. Coal Industry and how Australia is taking advantage of the world’s shifting energy portfolio by focusing on Uranium.

We also highlight the renaissance of diamond exploration and discovery in Canada’s north that rivals the first wave of successful exploration.
