How To Get a Proper Mining Industry Education

Hi All,

Although not new to investing, I've just had my eyes open to the wonderful world of [Australian] mining stocks, as well as this board!

As a newcomer to this industry when it comes to investing, I would like to take the time to properly educate myself on the business and industry mechanisms of mining so that I can soak up all that this wonderful forum has to offer.

Luckily, there are so many amazing signs regarding the likelihood of a great success story as far as GGG goes, that even my 5 year old can tell this is one of those home-run stocks! So this is why I am posting this here on GGG. I plan on sticking with this first pick for a good time - and will only even begin to consider others as I gather a proper mining industry education.

So far, I found the following resources - some free - some not. What do you guys think? Please feel free to share some of your own resources that you may know of.

Here is what I found so far (and plan to Pursue) to at least get my feet wet:

The Business of Mining | edX

- free to audit this course

The Minerals and Mining Business/edX - also free to audit

Edumine.com - paid classes

Aside from these (and of course reading and trying to absorb as much as possible on this forum) does anyone else have any friendly suggestions?

Thanks Gents..
