European countries including Spain, Portugal, Cyprus and Slovakia have been experiencing a revival of their mining industries as companies are drawn to the region’s stable political systems and large pools of skilled labour. We explore whether the industry has come full circle to make Europe its newest re-emerging market.

In the latest issue of MINE, we announce the inaugural MINE Awards: Ones to Watch 2013, find out more about how Northern College teamed up with Confederation College to deliver its century old mining course and take a look at the intricacies of rock blasting.

Moreover, we investigate how old mining sites can be revived using municipal biosolid waste to create high quality topsoil, take a look at the world’s deepest open pit mines and profile industry projects in Australia and Canada.
