Earlier on in 2006 The Swann Group began a survey that was aimed to collect salary information of the industry in China, particularly from the point of view of the foreign mining company. Attached is the report that was written from the data collected by The Swann Group in association with the CIMG and the Mining Journal China. This is the second HR survey of the foreign mining community in China.
The Swann Group is very grateful for the time given by those who participated in the survey. It was not an easy task from either side; giving the data or receiving it. There were many different organisation structures in place and salaries paid in a variety of currencies. However, The Swann Group would like to note that it was great to be able to work with the mining community in China to draw as much of this together as they could.
Please note that confidentiality was critical in an exercise that looks at what people are paid. The Swann Group have been at pains to respect the privacy of individuals and companies in reporting the data gathered. It has not been possible to write a report that covers the broad sweep of info gathered. It is considered most fair that those who participated in the information gathering have the right to seek specific information for their particular needs. They are welcome to call Swann to get these more specific readings of the data. But of course, still within the confidentiality boundaries.
