Covering 100 years of Canadian mining and business history, Never Rest on Your Ores discusses the discovery and building of mines, the mechanics of financing in a volatile and cyclical industry and the role of mergers and acquisitions in building a Canadian mining company. It provides a unique, behind the scenes look at the business leaders, politicians and colourful characters who have played a key role in shaping Canada and the global mining industry.
The book is available now at major bookstores, and online at Amazon.ca and Indigo.ca, and can also be ordered directly from the McGill-Queens website. All proceeds have been dedicated to Mining Matters and MineralsEd, two initiatives designed to introduce grade school children to the wonders of metals and minerals.
