In 2004, the worldwide mining industry benefited from stronger, better synchronized global economic growth. It also continued to take advantage of the vigour of China's economy, in spite of various measures taken by the government to slow it down to a more sustainable pace.

In February 2004, bargaining over a new collective agreement for the Romanian mining industry resulted in trade unions organising a two-hour warning strike. As well as demanding a pay increase much higher than offered by the government, the unions also raised concerns about the perceived lack of a sectoral strategy, large numbers of impending redundancies, and the inconsistency of social

Mining activities are not new and indeed may have started in Neolithic (Chalcolithic) times to obtain the first metals for tool fabrication (Reardon 2011). In the Classic Greece and in the Roman Empire, many mines were exploited for production of iron, lead, copper, gold, and other metals. Many of those old mines are still known, and some have been

The mining industry assumes an oligopolistic market structure (Campbell, 2004). According to Boyes and Melvin (2012), this means that only a few firms get to dominate the production process. In developing countries, for example, large multinationals possess superior inputs, and technologies, thus achieving considerable control in such markets .
