20 YEARS AGO… • The First Canadian Conference on Computer Applications in the Mineral Industry was held at Université Laval on March 7-9, 1988. • PetSoc held its 39th Annual Technical Meeting. • Catchy title! An article published in CIM Bulletin was titled: “Old mines never die… they just close down, and rest a while!” • The CIM Algoma Branch set up a $36,000 trust fund to award bursaries to mining students over the following 15 years. • Funded by ten companies, an industrial research chair in hydrometallurgy was set up at UBC. The first chair holder was Ernest Peters, a 30-year faculty member in UBC’s Department of Metals and Materials Engineering. • Future president of CIM (for 1997-1998) A.M. “Sandy” Laird was appointed vice president, project developments, at Placer Dome, for whom he had worked for 28 years.
