The Adventures Of A Modern Cornish Miner - with Alan Matthews

In this episode we chat to Alan Matthews, an experienced mining executive with over forty years of experience working in executive roles within the industry and has recently written a book, Overseas and Underground: Adventures of a Modern Cornish Miner. He graduated from the Camborne School of Mines in 1974 and spent the next half a century globe-trotting around the world from mine sites as far flung as Peru and Papua New Guinea. With this, Alan decided to write a book so we dig deep into the contents the book, and understand Alan’s career and see what we can learn from his overseas knowledge and experience. KEY TAKEAWAYS Striking out on your own in the industry is the natural impulse for those with experience. Opportunities that once seemed distant become a reality when we absorb the wisdom of others. When you hit a brick wall in terms of the administrational governance of certain countries, it's best to realise you're licked, count your losses and move on. If you have an offer to travel and work in other countries, always make sure you do your due diligence on not just the company itself, but the country and its culture and values. You need to align with all of it. We learn by the stories of others, and take teachings from the experiences they have had. This is why it's vital that all of life and its adventures are documented in some way. BEST MOMENTS 'I raised a few bucks, drilled a few holes' 'We realised that being in Ecuador was not sensible at the time' 'Do some research on the country you're going to' 'You need three or four years' experience!'
