Comments for FIFOLife Community Blog http://fifolife.wordpress.com Representing Fly In Fly Out workers in the Mining & Construction industries Thu, 22 Jan 2009 08:41:11 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 Comment on The Global Financial Meltdown & the Mining Industry by JimBob51 http://fifolife.wordpress.com/2009/01/22/the-global-financial-meltdown-the-mining-industry/#comment-29 JimBob51 Thu, 22 Jan 2009 08:41:11 +0000 http://fifolife.wordpress.com/?p=161#comment-29 A good article - Ravensthorpe unfortunately was probably a mistake all the way along and many questioned it at the time of re-opening. The use of Stainless Steel in times like this and therefore a reduction in the use of Nickel means that the high price of mining makes it less than viable. Most Mines in this country are of solid Primary Commodity base and the need to maintain them will quickly return. Population demands globally will enforce their use. Many Projects "shelved" are already being announced as back on. I really believe that the way Mines employ in the future may change and labour-hire companies may find that the Big Miners will take this responsibility back in house. Continued on-cost will be reviewed at times like this and adjustments made. The issues are large and complex and should not be written in a fear mongering way.
