Ian Burston in bold push into iron ore mining in Nigeria


IAN Burston was almost killed when his parachute failed to open during national service in 1956. He walked away unharmed when taken hostage by gunmen in Istanbul in 2001. And he emerged from a prostate cancer scare two years ago with renewed verve.
