Who’d have ever thought that mining was so badass? It could just be the awesome music track that goes along with this commercial for mining company Rio Tinto, but we never thought we’d hear ourselves say, “Man, I want to be a miner!” Created by Cossette, this ad features workers from Rio Tinto (awesome name by the way – it’s like the name of the town where the epic shootout at the end of a western movie takes place) doing what looks to be awesome stuff, and epic scenery shots. Sold. Where do we get our pick and hard hat?
