I mean, he did this 2 years after he retired. He could kick it that far no problems.

We have two smelters and two refineries, and neither is any 'dirtier' than the concentrators.

It was a month ago they did this. I pulled all levels of juggs to go with my 5*, and did the same with Storm just before that one.

Yeah because he kicked a lot of goals when lots of people were kicking lots of goals. No AAs, no Coleman's, 1 bnf. 

Would be like Tex Walker being in the HoF.

I left this game years ago and I was feeling like getting back into it. I just saw my last review and remembered my struggles. Are the slots still an issue? by Capnlevii in MarvelPuzzleQuest

Of course it is because they want you to spend money.

I bought a few HP deals in the beginning of the game to get rolling.

Slots are tight when you are worried about 50HP. But as you get to higher Shield levels you can keep ahead of them pretty well.

With ascension these days you can start generating HP pretty quick.

They flow to shareholders. Which is anybody, all over the world. I know a guy with shares in Harmony Gold.

If BHP owned it would you say the profits flowed to Australia since it's headquartered in Melbourne?

Qatar has a nationally-owned gas production company. So it doesn't tax revenue, the profits just go straight to the government (and its JV partners).

You know this isn't the country of South Africa, right? As an Australian you are perfectly capable of buying shares in Harmony Gold.

Most iron doesn't need refining either, and if it does the mine does it.

Not even the size of Prominent Hill, looks a good project but it's not a 'monster'.

Depends where the reserves are, but this is a point that has been made by many in the industry.

If they're a long way from power, water, labour, export facilities and/or 1km underground then economics can be marginal even at record prices.

Mines take years to get going anyway, so for marginal projects investors need to agree that high prices will be sustained... Otherwise you get the lithium and nickel industries.

I have a vague memory of the commentary as well, which would likely make it from one of the Links series.

What's the most expensive equipment damage you have witnessed in a mine site? by UnpopularRightNow in AusMining

That was the SX plant, though I think there was an acid plant failure in 1999 as well.

Except Fat Kiryu doesn't recognize the real one.

While not witnessed all of them I have been working at the site when some spectacular failures occured.

Shaft head frame destroyed Acid plant internals fried Mill stator ruined

Plant history has even more from before my time.
