New Faces for a Modern Industry

As the face of mining has changed, so have the faces of those it employs. The old image of miners and prospectors with picks and shovels has been replaced by workers using robotics, computers and the most modern high-tech equipment.

They work underground, in laboratories, smelters, exploration sites and head offices.
