RE: Taxation - Oil and Gas vs. MiningGo to Apex's website and check out what they have done for the communities. New schools, infrastructure and jobs were built and created. They didn't poison lakes and leave people high and dry like in Canada with their mining practices. Mining firms should take note of what Apex and Apogee are doing. These guys have a social conscience unlike many other North American companies. Please don't cry about the commmies, examine the past practices of big firms.
