Justin Bruce, Brock Hamilton, Hannah Trudgett, Ryder Anderson and Cooper Trudgett tried their luck looking for buried gems at the Mini Mining Expo at the Heritage Park on Sunday morning. The expo was a new event on this year’s Festival of the Miner’s Ghost program and from the fantastic turn out of exhibitors and members of the public who went along to have a look at how things get done in the mining industry, it looks to be a real winner.
