Why we are the Misfits- This name was given to the group because the objective is to set about positive change within the industry, regardless of how uncomfortable that may make some feel.
As Charles Kettering, American inventor, engineer and businessman once said, “The world hates change, yet it is the only thing that has brought progress.” The goal of the Mining Misfits is to bring about a new era in the industry, an era where all involved parties can share in the same success.
