A very interesting article, as always. As to matter, I think it depends on HSE department of that company and a luck in some degree.

P.S.
Excuse me for being brief, I've never worked for a mining company.

I agree with you. It's really difficult to talk of something we know nothing of. It could be yes or no...

Well as I have seen here those mine hunting and mine spotting companies are working good to their best level they can, however it is still a huge risk and really expert mine strilizers are required to sterilize and detect the mines.
