Opal is the name of the company ,
second that doesn't look like opal country to me and i have hunted rock opal in Maleny and seen the Australian opal fields in Southern Australia , i also noticed lots of 'feel good ' words in the preso ( and still have a mild bias against Africa )

and i definitely prefer my gold miners mining gold at a profit , have watched several companies explore ( and cap. raise ) to near bankruptcy ( TRY , and X64/MML helped learn that )

cheers
 
from what i understand from the opal fields in southern Australia , it looks very hard to use increased mechanization ( as in potentially dangerous )

problem two , the price of the opal found is very subjective , too much of the good stuff and the price plummets

and do i have to mention the dangers of mining in soft rock

all in all i would rather be digging sapphires ( at amateur miner level ) or detecting ( near ) surface gold ( or panning )
 
Hum .and a company like the Zimbabwe opal mining pty ltd which starts its description by a blatently racist statement...no thank you but not with my money....
 
i was uneasy about the wide inclusion of the indigenous people ( on a continent with a recent history of child labour )

local labour in preference to FIFO has it's merits , but only as long as they are fairly compensated for their efforts
