Last week the company  announced to the market that drilling is to commence to further define the resource at Kallak.

In the wake of the Global Financial Crisis, a plethora of books have hit the market. In time, some may well turn out to be seminal pieces, though most would argue that it is still too soon to tell.

One book which has certainly recieved much critical acclaim is This Time is Different: Eight Centuries of Financial Folly by Carmen M. Reinhart & Kenneth Rogoff. We have now included it in The Miningmaven Book Store at Amazon,  and they are running a special price promotion on it, so well worth a look!
