All mines close. How can mining towns like Mount Isa best manage the ups and downs?

<https://theconversation.com/all-mines-close-how-can-mining-towns-like-mount-isa-best-manage-the-ups-and-downs-216346>

"The announcement by Glencore last week that its Mount Isa copper mines will
close in 2025 is significant for the town.

The closures affect at least 1,200 jobs in the Queensland outback community of
21,000 people. Those affected include mine workers, contractors, suppliers and
businesses.

Questions raised by the closures have wider relevance for how other towns and
regions across Australia manage mines as they come and go."
