????第15：矿产服务业

????近来全球采矿业的增长速度放缓，导致其子行业也受到影响，矿产服务业的纯利润率从去年的12%跌至今年的10.5%。然而，包括岩心采样和地质调查在内的矿产服务业显然不像其他子行业那样受到严重影响，因为它们的运营成本更低，这和那些必须花很多钱购买设备和能源的采矿者可不一样。（财富中文网）

????15. Mining support

????Growth in the global mining industry has slowed of late, affecting this industry subsector, which saw its profit margin dip from 12% to 10.5%. However, support services, which include core sampling and geological surveying, clearly weren’t hit quite as hard as the rest of the industry because they have lower operating costs than mining operators that spend big on equipment and energy costs.
