In the first of a series of Special AIMEX video stories, we visit a coal mine alongside Multi-Skilled Mine Worker Michael Cowan as he explains what being a coal miner means to him.
For hundreds of years mines have played an integral role in the building and prosperity of local communities. In this video, we visit two such towns and explore how important the people of mining companies are to their local communities.
The modern mines of today recognise the importance of effectively managing the environmental impacts associated. We saw this in action at the Centennial Coal mines we visited in our latest AIMEX video story.
Passion, pride and enthusiasm are all things a miner feels about the work they do. This has been the case for generations and it is still so prevalent for the modern day miner.
