I dont mind Boddington (although it should have been done a while ago), easy to come home to Perth.

Who are you with down there? DO you work on the mine, or with one of the construction companies currently there doing the expansion?

Nah he was a super for a contracting company here bout yr and a 1/2 ago, been drilling for us now for bit under a year. I trained him up on our DML and Pitviper. He's definately a pin point operator, does everything by the book and anything not perfect...he peaks out at haha. Quite funny watchin him in a drill down rod changes....he loses it bad sometimes.

And yes leigh...hrmmm definately 1 of a kind. Haha

pilbara and northern goldfields operations for some companies seem to be in full swing. would have thought uranium mining would still be in full swing due to demand from european countries in need of fuel for their nuke power plants. Also some expansion projects and rapid growth projects seem to be in full swing still. we just put in a tender for rgp5 and will hear back in the next few weeks.
