Boliden closing in on deal for Lundin’s European mines

[Students] at the Colorado School of Mines are some of the most employable in the country – 94% of 2011 graduates from the mining engineering, metallurgy and materials, geological engineering, and geophysics programs have jobs.
The average starting offer across the four departments was US$65,868 a year, well above the US$42,569 median that the National Association of Colleges and Employers expects first-time job seekers with college degrees to command in 2012.
