[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 373841, member: 4485"] Hi Paul - look up & try getting in contact with some mines nearby. Talk to them about being keen to get into mining & ask about getting a quick tour of their site to see how they operate/what's involved etc. Some small scale operators may be a bit guarded of their operation & may not want to have people looking around their site but others may be happy to show you around + talk about it. Due to insurance requirements, WHS, etc. I don't think many/any mines would let an inexperienced, unskilled worker on site to do "free" work. Getting a foot in with some type of organised site tour would be your best bet IMO. If you can show them your keen they may even be able to offer you legitimate work if they need some extra arms & legs occasionally or even suggest ways locally to get some training/experience in the type of skilled labour they might require or what's needed to get into mining. Maybe look at doing some plant machinery training if offered locally? This may help once your tenure with your current employer is up to start looking for mining work? Larger scale operations can have open days/periodic local information sessions but there's no harm in approaching a larger operation outside of these if there's one close by. They can usually also be helpful in providing information on the skills etc. they would be looking for to. [/QUOTE]
