520 "A lively story of luck and perseverance in the building
of a major mining company. A century ago, a prospector
discovered gold at Ontario's Kirkland Lake and a son was
born to British immigrants in Saskatchewan. The boy--
Norman Bell Keevil--went on to become a renowned scientist,
teacher, and prospector, discovering a small but high-
grade copper mine in Ontario. Parlaying that into control
of the Kirkland Lake gold mine fifty years later, he
formed the fledgling mining company Teck Corporation. In
Never Rest on Your Ores, Keevil's son Norman, also a
geoscientist, recounts how over the next fifty years, a
growing team of like-minded engineers and entrepreneurs
built Canada's largest diversified mining company. In
candid detail he tells the story of a company and its
makers, of the discovery and creation of mines, the
mechanics of industry financing, and the role that mergers
and acquisitions play in a volatile environment. Along the
way he meets fascinating captains of industry and
politicians not only in Canada, but in the United States
and around the world. Finding an ore body--rock that holds
valuable metals and minerals--and promoting its
development in order to finance and create a mine, most
often in hard-to-access wilderness, is complicated work,
comparable to locating and extracting a needle in a very
messy haystack. Underlying this history is a constant need
to replenish the ore, and this need drives the people
involved. A detailed and revealing history of a company
that he helped to grow and lead for many years, Norman
Keevil's Never Rest on Your Ores is both entertaining and
instructive, a rare insider's account of an industry that
has been crucial to the building of this country."--
