I have always been interested in mining. I began my career in the energy and mining industry, and over the years I have always kept some relationship with it. Mining looks like a forgotten, boring, old-fashioned corner of the world economy, but yet it moves far more than its share of GDP would suggest, and it can still start trade wars and real ones. Most of what is written about it is either technical, made for engineers, or financial, made for highly specialised investors. I write ResourceClips for everyone else: plain explanations of where things come from and why they matter, with the sources in view.
