On the shoulder of giants

 Behind the rise of some of the world’s largest mining companies – BHP, Rio Tinto, Pasminco. Discovered in1883, one of the world’s largest silver, lead, and zinc deposits. Line of Lode, unique, 130+ yrs in large-scale mining. Pop. peaked at 30,000+ (early 60s) – now under 20,000 (after the 70’s zinc boom). Can grow to accommodate new mines. Trained and influenced generations of miners, engineers, managers, technical staff. Behind world-ranking innovations. E.g. froth flotation, recovery of lead and zinc from mine tailings, expanded the life of the mine.QUOTE
This statement in the presentation is so apt that Broken Hill is getting back to its strength in mining but this time it is cobalt that will propel the city into the limelight. The huge influx of wealth from silver ,lead & zinc created from the Line of Lode mine from 1887 did not just puts Broken Hill on the map but was a source of income for the entire nation. COB will grow in time just as the giants did in the past IMO.
