This is the historical mining industry; the mine has been closed since the 1970s. Belle (talk) 01:43, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

ALT1 Hook ... that fiscal contribution from mining operations to Swaziland's GDP is 2% and also accounts for 2% of export earnings? Nvvchar 16:06, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

Article is new enough (as per sandbox → mainspace), long enough (~2500 characters), and well referenced. Hook is interesting, accurate, and the citations are inline and reputable. QPQ done. Original hook is preferred. Good to go Gaia Octavia Agrippa^Talk 01:00, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
