A gift of $1 million to provide students in the department of mining engineering at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ont., with modern laboratory facilities has been pledged by Inco (TSE). Spread over six years, the gift will allow the university, which has Canada’s oldest and largest mining school, to purchase computer and other equipment for use in the area of rock mechanics and mine design, mining environment and mineral processing.
Roy Aitken, executive vice- president of Inco, said many of the department’s graduate mining engineers have made their careers with Inco.
A Queen’s spokesman said more than half of Canada’s mining engineers have degrees from the university’s school of mines, which will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 1993.
