The Face of Miners

They bleed, they break, and then after all that watch as one mine closes after another. 

What we do is sell the equipment, what they do is power our world. We salute every miner who ever went down into a tunnel, picked up a gold pan, or fired up a rock truck.

Say a quick prayer for the safety of each and every miner working their shift tonight. Then say another one for the miner who lost their job and needs to go back to work.

Tell us your story and share. Show you about mining, miners, and their families!

What Is A Miner?

He knows the value in silver and gold 
and he knows no one is going to hand it to him.
In fact he doesn’t want anyone to hand it to him
He will find it himself.

He knows when a mountain is his fortune 
and he will risk everything he has to conquer it.
He will dig, crush, process, and claw every last bit of value in that rock
and if turns out he was wrong…
He shakes his head and grabs the handles again.

He doesn’t understand the word can’t.
He hates the word tired.
And when things get tough 
Or when prices drop….
He shakes his head and grabs the handles again.

He doesn’t always make it rich but always hopes he does.
He is a worker and a dreamer.
He will win and lose his whole life.
And when it crosses his mind to quit…
He shakes his head and grabs the handles again.
