June 2009


The success of the first issue encouraged us to continue with the newsletter. These are busy times in the global mining industry driven by high gold prices and depressed prices for other minerals. Topics in this issue include items on important current decisions and new legislation. Reader feedback on content would be much appreciated. We are taking what we think is justifiable pride in being named as Global Mining Law Firm of the Year for the fifth consecutive year by Who's Who Legal Awards. We are working hard to make it six in a row by continuing to offer the quality and diversity of service that gained us this prestigious award.
