1911--1997
Canadian mine-finder. Like Gilbert LaBine. Worked on Uranium.
I think I knew that. He's got a name that's famous.
Found the "Blind River" area field in Northern ontario.
Uranium miners of Denison Mines
and Rio Algom at Elliot Lake.
UBC. Began at Pioneer Gold mines in BC.
Loved prospecting. Geology.
Geiger Counter! (I think we can get this geiger counter. It's at Elliot Lake)
Details of these events are chronicled in Joubin's memoirs, Not For Gold Alone.
He has more than that at the Elliot Lake mining museum.
how about that?
Mad anecdotes--it's a history of discovery.
Teamed up with Joe Hirschhorn.
Found Uranium after a hard road.
Made 9 mines from one find.
