Right now is an incredible time for miners. Diesel is at multi-year lows, bulk ocean freight is relatively inexpensive, and almost the entire metals index is soaring. Through happenstance, I know someone at Bridgestone's mine truck tire division, and they are having one of their best years ever. Wonder if we will see $1m salaries for explosive engineers like we did in ~2010

Yes mining and everything supporting it is booming.
