PTWC Special Report Series. Part 2: A Short History of Mining
In the second part of our series from the recent Protect the West Coast (PTWC) Special Report ‘The Tipping Point’, we take a brief look at the history of the West Coast, going back millions of years to the explosive upheavals that forged the hardest substance known to humankind, the diamond. We track the discovery of diamonds, and the growth of mining that spread across the landscape over almost 100 years of resource extraction.
