As follow-up to the well received article published by Mining IQ a few months ago specific to our top rated mining industry blogs, Mining IQ have pooled a group of ‘other’ handy and valuable mining industry blogs for your benefit. 

Post the industry reception of that first article; we received many thanks, interested comments, suggestions and food for thought from many of you.

We decided to act on that goodwill and share with everyone the other suggested blogs that came back to us. After reviewing your suggestions to ensure that we also saw value in the blogs – I am happy to share them with you below.
