Morton Gordon, chairman of Gordex Minerals, has been named 1987 “Developer of the Year” by the New Brunswick Prospectors and Developers Association, and received a presentation at a recent gold symposium sponsored by the NBPDA and New Brunswick’s department of natural resources.
Gordon was honored for his contribution to gold mining in the province and for development of Gordex’s Cape Spencer gold property.
About 100 delegates attended the 3-day symposium, which included field trips to deposits, recent discoveries and related alteration zones in southern and northern New Brunswick.
The field trips involved visits to the Cape Spencer open pit mine, where gold is associated with a major thrust fault zone, and to the Alcida and Upsalquitch areas, where gold is related to mafic and intermediate dikes in strike-strip fault zones.
At an opening day banquet, a posthumous recognition award was made to Jack McCarthy, a long- time prospector and former president of the NBPDA, who died last April at age 80. Properties he worked on included the Silver Jack mine at Mitchell Settlement, Belledune Pond, and the Nigadoo River lead-zinc-silver prospects.
