~*~Mining and Metals Du Jour~*~

[overlordpeter]

I am a diesel technician and former trucking company owner.I can tell this about fuel cost. the price is adjusted into most goods so if fuel is up surcharges are added. as for mining equipment each owner of the mine and how he utilizes his equipment well effect there fuel. location of the dirt in relation to distance to the Plant also maintenance and type of equipment used will all effect cost of production so if you are able to look at a company first hand you could tell if there operation working in the best interest of share holder.
