Canmine’s challenge for Westray fund (May 25, 1992)

Mining and exploration companies are being challenged by Canmine Resources to match a $100 donation by the junior to the Westray Mine Disaster Fund.

“Profits and incomes derived from the business of mining, as well as from the public trading of mining shares, are the direct result of risks taken on our collective behalf,” said Canmine President Eric Plexman. “Our recognition of their personal sacrifice should be reflected at this time by financial contributions en masse toward their children and families.”

Major Canadian banks are accepting donations to the Westray fund.
