"Each year about this time, we hold this event to remember all those whose work involves mining and extraction of mineral or natural resources from under the earth. It's also an opportunity for us to express gratitude and show goodwill to all our partners, government and friends who supported us one way or the other in our activities during the year".
It was indeed an evening of fun and camaraderie.
