Dennis,

I own a mining search firm in the New York City area and had reached out to you in the past, when I had a
mineral processing position in Australia last year.  I thought I would reach out to you again to see if you
might know of someone who could have an interest in working in Australia again?  This time the role is with
a mining company who are expanding their operations in Australia and would like to hire professionals in
North America, who might have an interest in working there for 4 years (or possibly longer if they wish).  
The role would be as a senior mining engineer supporting open cut/surface and underground operations
for a diversified commodity line of products.  

I have included some of the job responsibilities below and the interviews would occur in North America and
visa sponsorship, relocation costs and general out of pockets expenses will be covered for the individual
and family (if applicable).  The lifestyle in Australia is great and mining is a booming industry there and we
would be interested in speaking to people, who would look at this opportunity as a tremendous lifestyle,
warm weather while advancing a person's career with international experience  (spouses or
boyfriend/girlfriends automatically qualify then for a work visa as well).

This is a good opportunity for someone who would like to build upon their experience working in a global
marketplace, with the chance to then work further in Australia or Asia.  

I have attached some of the details below and appreciate your help!
