WHILE local anti-mining group Friends of Felton enlisted new troops at its meeting this week, a number of local people have come out in support of mining in the region.
Pratten resident Brett Reid said if done properly, coal mining could be a blessing.
"If they employ local people first and fill in the mines that aren't used and make it farm land again, I'd like to see it," he said.
"We've got a lot of young people in town - if we get them ready for the work and trained before they start cutting the mines, it would help employment. A lot of people have to drive to Warwick at the moment."
