Session Details
From the Battle of Voisey’s Bay in 1996 to the Nickel Wars of 2006 through to today’s base metal takeover bids and consolidation in the gold industry, our favourite industry has always been filled with excitement. The colourful characters of our industry are never short of ambition, and competition for the best assets and properties is always fierce. Add to that the totally global nature of the industry and remote exploration truly out in the furthest frontiers and it is no surprise that a career in the industry feels like one adventure after another. Join Don Lindsay as he shares some of the stories of the deals and the people who made them during his career - from his time as Founder and Head of the Global Mining Group at CIBC (where he ultimately became President), as President & CEO of Teck Resources for 18 years, and now as a Director of BHP. Brace yourself for a walk down memory lane.
