Smith County Zinc Mines to Reopen

This is really good news...and I do hope that the people that want to take the mining course have the funds...and transportation to get there! Maybe they should think about car pooling?

So many people have been out of work for so long...it's about time something like this is happening!

Yup, it is great news!
Hopefully the employees will spend their income within their local communities too.

Hopefully there is somewhere within their local communities to spend money at!

Has anyone been successful in finding out any information on this holding company?
An Internet search returns nothing. Of the thousands of mining companies listed, the mining info link below does not have them listed.

It would be nice to know more about the holding company. Information such as the safety records of the other companies they control, as well as any OSHA, and historical environmental information would be useful for the community. Are they a publicly traded company? A US and Canadian stock search of the company name does not report them as listed. It is great to get the jobs, but lets look at who is setting up shop in the neighborhood.

Hopefully the income will not be sent back to families in Mexico.

Ain't that the truth!!!!

Where do you find out about applications?

Wow, good news, here? I almost had to read it twice to make sure.:) It is a good idea to check the safety record with all of the dangers mining entails.

This story was from February...I wonder what is new at that mine? Has anyone seen anything in the paper recently?

Just wondering...
Does the mine still use the railroad there?...

Firepower

Does anyone know where to get an application?

ho hum

I pray that it does reopen. The write up in the Carthage paper, sounds like it will be a good company to work for. Just pray that there will be more jobs come back to our areas.

I really hope they will open and furnish jobs to our people but they need to show some finacial ability and not leave our local government and utilities holding the bag if they decide to leave or go out of business.Our taxes and utility bills are high enough without having to subsidice for a group of investers.

This would be great news, hope that our local leaders don't let the port deal get away from Jackson Co, heard they turned in a lease agreement to our county 2 months ago and we havent got back to them yet, guess they are still looking it over?

Got wind of a rumor, yes a rumor, that the same people were wanting to use the old nuclear power site to build a port if Jackson Co doesn't do something soon. Yes it would cost more but guess they are losing money everyday if there isn't one operating. That would also help with some shipping cost for the mine. Well guess we could get jobs in Smith Co and drive everyday, good thing gas is so cheap, ha ha. Maybe the Smith Co people know a good thing when somebody puts it in thier laps!
