Yeah, yeah.... I know Christmas is now long gone but one of the presents I received this year has taken a little time to prove it's real value towards my prospecting and mining efforts. Thanks to a busy schedule, I hadn't had much of a chance to really check it out. Now that I have taken some time to examine this present, I can't think of anything else that would have had so much benefit to me. This present has proven to be not only educational but highly entertaining as well.
Ok... I can hear those wheels turning even from my cave way out here in the desert. "What was this amazing present" you ask? Quite simply it was a subscription to the ICMJ Mining Journal with both the hard copy and the on-line access. Now I had read ICMJ when I could find copies of it on the news stand, or a buddy happened to have one handy and had always enjoyed it. I just never got around to getting a subscription to it is all. (You'll have to excuse me here while I kick myself long and hard for that mistake)
Because I've never really liked reading long articles on the computer due to eye strain, I decided to copy and paste the articles from the back issues I've been interested in so far over to Word so I can print them out. This will also allow me to highlight the important parts of many of the articles once printed. (I've found that the highlighters just don't work to well on the computer screen.) So far I've grabbed 38-40 articles and I've only gone through the back issues from 2000 to 2005!
So... Even though the ICMJ is a so called professional journal, this is a publication that anyone with any level of interest in prospecting and or mining should get themselves a subscription to! Don't forget to get the on-line access as well as that's the best way to get access to over a decades worth of back issues!
