Peter graduated from the University of Leicester, England in 1972, following which he worked at open-pit

Following that, he worked in Toronto for Kerr Addison Min es Ltd., a Noranda Group company, in

will miss his insight and conversations, and we wish Gary and his family all the best following his
retirement.”
