Denver highlighted as mining capital

This city is already the headquarters for most American gold producers, and the recent National Western Mining Conference went one further by promoting Denver as a possible mining capital of the world.

The 98th annual convention, hosted by the Colorado Mining

Association, featured discussions of the new Denver International Airport as a key incentive for companies attracted to the idea of setting up shop in the area.

Timothy Haddon, chairman of First Dynasty Mines (TSE), said he chose Denver as the headquarters for his new company because of the high number of mining companies, as well as bankers and

investors, already established in the area. But he added that the main advantage to working in Denver is the simple fact that, on the whole, it is a nice city in which to live.

Traditionally, mining in Denver has received strong support from the local government. Colorado Governor Roy Romer had planned to speak but was replaced by Ronald Cattaqny, deputy director of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources.
