Born on November 8, 1914 in Saskatoon, Sask., Dr. Stanley E. Malouf was a wonderful man who lived life to the fullest with devotion and determination to make a difference in the many lives that he touched. He passed away peacefully on Friday, February 8, 2008 at the Toronto General Hospital in his 94th year, with his family by his side. He was the loving husband of the late Eileen; cherished father of Michael, David and the late Margaret. He was the beloved father-in-law of Shizuko, Cecilia, Gianni and Katy. He was the adored Grandpa of Jacqui, Ommael, Stanley, Matt and Stella and Great grandpa of Kenna, Georgia and Sammy.
During WWII, he was awarded an MBE (Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) for his overseas services with the RCAF as an aeronautical engineer. Postwar, Stan enjoyed a long and successful life as a consulting geologist in several areas of Quebec, Ontario and throughout the world where he was a well known and highly respected geologist in the Mining Industry. He was a teacher, a visionary, a developer and creator of communal wealth and prosperity. After his interest in his family and Geology, he also had a zest for golf, curling, fishing and hunting. He will be sorely missed.
Dr. Malouf graduated from the University of Saskatchewan in 1934 with a Bachelor of Science degree in geology. Proceeding to McGill University for post-graduate studies, he earned his Master of Science degree in 1936 and his Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1941 from that institution.
His main geological interests were concentrated in the Chibougamau area in Quebec scoring majority on the westerly plunge of the Campbell Chibougamau Main Mine occurrence in 1950, the start of re-activity in Chibougamau. In 1951, Dr. Malouf moved his family from Noranda to Chibougamau to become the Chief Geologist for Campbell Chibougamau Mines, operating at better than 3,000 tons per day. He was also the Manager and Vice President of Chibougamau Mining and Smelting Company Ltd. He was credited with four original finds, three of which were buried deposits, located by applied geology and geophysics and the development of a host of commercial ore deposits.
In addition to these, he completed a Bauxite review for Campbell Chibougamau in the Dominican Republic and reviewed the Pueblo Viejo gold deposit developed by the dictator Trujillo. Campbell Chibougamau joint ventured with Rosario Resources in obtaining the Pueblo Viejo deposit. The deposit was obtained and drilled with Rosario in charge.
Rosario’s chief geologist D. Moore died in the early part of the exploration program and Dr. Malouf completed it as a Director of Exploration for Rosario Resources outlining 50 million tons of oxidized gold ore grading 0.10 ounces in gold and 1.00 ounces in silver and approximately 100 million tons of sulphide ore of equivalent gradea truly classic occurrence.
Recent activities included a review of the Geraldton-Beardmore Gold Camp, northwestern Ontario, that led to a major change in geological thinking. Data was compiled for Roxmark Mines and considerable additional ground was acquired.
Dr. Stanley Malouf’s family wishes to thank the Mining Community and friends for their sincere outpouring of love and condolences. Donations to the charity of your choice would be appreciated.
