NO SECRET ABOUT IT

More than 45,000 people from around the world gathered in Las Vegas a few weeks ago to attend MINExpo, the largest equipment show and conference of its kind in North America specifically designed as a showcase for the suppliers of products and services to the mining industry. The event, held every four years in Las Vegas, is the Olympics of mining equipment as manufacturers compete to display their machines in the most dramatic and eye-catching ways in order to win the attention of visitors but moreover, buyers from all points on the globe. More than 800 of the 45,000 delegates this year came from China alone where more and more North American manufacturers are setting up shop to answer the growing demand for equipment as China continues to develop its mining resources.
