Mining’s old guard needs strong medicine
A new report details subpar investor returns in the mining industry over the last decade, particularly big cap diversified companies which have not adapted to new realities.
Leading provider of intuitive software solutions to the mining and exploration industry, MICROMINE will showcase its consulting services division, Micromine Consulting Services (MCS) at Mines and Money in Hong Kong from 21-22 March 2012.
The MCS Team will be located at Booth E28.
