my employer GBS gold finishes mining tomorrow after going bankrupt to the tune of ariound $400M and it's big news up here. I'll be out of a job.
this tune popped into my head the other night and i recorded it on the laptop at camp and posted it on youtube for the workers out there to enjoy. The local paper found it and gave it a plug too.



Please enjoy.

Not likely to return to the SA for a while yet. Still lovin the top end too much.

That "secret" spot is a bit of a phenomenon hey! works most days but still flat enough to float a pin.

I got pictures and vids in the end though. Thanks.

top work. goes to show there can be great times had ,especially in some of the ****tiest jobs. as always it is cheaper to close up, than clean up . been there ,done that . back when I was doing that sort of thing I could swear Pine Creek was a copper/uranium mine from the 50's
