Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book opens by discussing the recommendations outlined by a South African Select Committee concerning low-grade mines. The author presents the arguments both for and against the committee's proposed solutions, which included closing some of the poorer mines, granting subsidies, and implementing production controls. As the author notes, the mining industry is significant not only within South Africa but also internationally, particularly in light of gold's continued importance as a global currency backer. Ultimately, the author argues that the value of the insights presented in this book lies in their ability to provoke productive debate that could lead to improved legislation and policy within the industry and beyond.
