Re mine shut down6 Nov 2009 11:51
Shutting down and refurbishing and upgrading a mine is not a simple process especially in China ,apart from enginnering problems , Chinese Logistics and bureaucracy and Chinese labour would be a problem...I often work in Asia and China in the Oil industry as an engineer its the worst for Skilled labour that is usually ignorant of the real purpose of their task. I have recently completed a 3 month project to lay pipeline that should have only taken 6 weeks due to real issues with local labour and poor local support...This was not unexpected....They have achieved the upgrade of the mine despite any difficulties and now can enjoy the fruits of it so long as world economy keeps going.
