ASIA — PACIFIC mining service providers , but Bradshaw approaches this a little differently .
“ When we are trying to build a company and recruit people , we don ’ t just go and seek out specific agencies for each specific area of work in mining ,” he says . “ Sure , we got people who had experience across different metals and different processes but for me what ’ s key is their mindset .”
“ They can have the best knowledge of tungsten or fluorspar , but they need the right mindset and work ethic . That ’ s what makes us unique , we have a group of people with all their different experiences but they come to work and they challenge each other . That ’ s a work ethic we strive for and is what ultimately leads us to success .”
As the world ’ s largest tungsten mine , the Nui Phao will both influence and be influenced by the market demand . With its uses in cutting tool technologies used in the aerospace , defence and automotive industries , tungsten is a key mineral now more than ever before .
Bradshaw recognises this responsibility to be able to supply the market and understands the key role that Masan Resources can play in building the capabilities of Vietnam ’ s mining industry to answer to the demand .
