About the Book

Boys, let's hear it for the Good Guys! Their turn has come! Here is healthy distrust in the machinations of corporate politicians and associated hacks who flew-in on them for lunch, flew-off-the-handle in the afternoon and flew-out again before sunset. Here is the neon-spangled night of head office generated euphoria followed by the grey dawn of reality over a field of disillusion. Here are the Bad Guys folding tents, hunting down sacrificial lambs and claiming the bounty. Here also is wry humour, sharp insight, and not a little cynicism to spice up the menu. Here are tales of journeys made to some of the world's more remote and exotic corners. Here are adventures shared with a spectrum of peoples both wild and wonderful in their cultural diversity. Here are the highs and lows of endeavour at the sharp end of the business of mineral exploration. Here is that ultimate objective of (ugh!) estimating a sound ore reserve capable of supporting a mining project. Here are feet in the dirt, backs to the wind and faces to the elements, where extremes of heat, cold, depth and altitude all too often ruled the roost. Open the book boys! Let's all give the Good Guys a great big hand!

About the Author :
James (Jim) Platt is a Cornishman, born in Port Isaac. He is a graduate (1960) of the Royal School of Mines at London's Imperial College, and worked as a professional mining geologist in the international hard rock mineral exploration and mining industry for the 41 years leading up to his retirement in 2001, since when his principal interest has been in writing. Jim is married to Maria. They have 3 children and currently live in the small town of Voorschoten in the Netherlands. "Your Reserves or Mine?", drawn directly from the experiences of his later working life, is his second book.
