Morgan will be the speaker at the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy’s Student Night dinner Jan 26 at the Harbour Castle Westin Hotel. The dinner is jointly sponsored by the Toronto branch of the CIM and the CIM’s Mineral Economics Symposium being held at the hotel Jan 24-26.
Western Mining is one of Australia’s largest mining company’s with major operations in gold, nickel and aluminum mining and smelting. It received considerable publicity in Canada in late 1987 when it paid $95 million to buy all the outstanding shares of Halifax- based Seabright Resources. It subsequently sued the previous management of Seabright over the buy-out alleging that they withheld information. That litigation is still before the courts.
Morgan, who has served as a director of Western Mining since 1976, will speak on the topic of “Mining in the Third Millennium.”
“If we are on the threshold of another dramatic upsurge in world living standards, and the mushrooming of scientific, technical and cultural endeavour which will accompany such an economic expansion, the mining industry will have a very exciting period ahead,” says an abstract of Morgan’s presentation published by the CIM.
Tickets for the dinner, which begins at 6 p.m., for members and guests are $35 each. Registration to the symposium includes admission to the dinner.
