Mining Travels

I note that most of the stories are about travels on vacation and for pleasure. I have recently been working with Garry Lee who has a double life. Not only is he one of the powers at Leeshack Olives, he also works on a fly in/fly out basis in Laos at a well developed and efficient Gold/Copper mine.

Garry & I spent the week together during late May 2007 reviewing how the mine is operating and identifying where some improvements can be made.
Below are some quick snaps to show you Garry’s second life.
