Etymology 1
Pronoun
mine
- Non-premodifying possessive case of I. My; belonging to me; that which belongs to me. (See usage notes below.)
Usage notes
- My and mine are essentially two forms of the same word, with my being used attributively before the noun, and mine being used in all other cases; hence:
- No, that's not my car. (attributive use)
- That car next to it isn't mine, either. (predicative use)
- Mine is the one over there, on the far right. (substantive use)
- Mine for only a week so far, it already feels like an old friend. (absolute use)
- In archaic use, this word is occasionally used attributively after the noun, in which case mine is used:
- a1611, William Shakespeare, The Tempest, Act V, Scene 1,
- […] Flesh and blood, / You, brother mine, that entertain'd ambition, / […]
- a1611, William Shakespeare, The Tempest, Act V, Scene 1,
- In the above respects, this word is analogous to most of the other possessive pronouns, as well as a number of other noun modifiers, such as lone/alone.
- Historically, my originally came to be used only before a consonant sound, and later came to be used regardless of the following sound. Nonetheless, mine still sees archaic pre-vocalic use:
- 1862 February, Julia Ward Howe, "The Battle Hymn of the Republic", in The Atlantic Monthly, Volume IX, Number LII, page 10,
- Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord: / […]
- 1862 February, Julia Ward Howe, "The Battle Hymn of the Republic", in The Atlantic Monthly, Volume IX, Number LII, page 10,

How do I go about getting a job as a truck driver on a mine site?
Q. I am 19, female, and I have no experience in the industry. I'm assuming I will need to get a Heavy Vehicle Licence. Is there anything else? I'm also having trouble finding info on the net about it. When I search job vacancies on mine site pages, I find nothing as general as "truck driver", yet I am assured by many that it is a readily available position. Also, anyone know where I can find a complete list of minesites in all the different states of Aus?

A. Your chances of being hired on a mine site with no experience are pretty slim I'm sorry to say. Most mines are union, and they will hire from within the union, and the union will add people to their list based on experience, previous employers, etc. You may want to get your truck license and get a couple years driving under your belt first, then join the union that is in the mine you want to work at(which can be expensive), then wait for your time to come to get called for a driving job at the mine. I wish you luck.
