"The King of the Minemakers"
New Brunswick guy--worked on the Bathurst area for BM&S
"The exploration effort in the Bathurst area was of historic as well as of economic significance. The discoveries in the area established the use of the ground and airborne electromagnetic methods of searching for deposits and provided conclusive proof of the geological concept of volcanogenic sulphide deposits. These major steps served to steer Canadian exploration toward more scientifically based successes and resulted in a new geological model for mineral exploration that has since been used around the world."
