Chief Planning Engineer, Hecla - Lucky Friday Mine.
S-IMEW gave me an opportunity to see an entirely new segment of the industry; several deep underground mines, a smelter, and two mining districts with unique geology and mining challenges. Although my career has taken me more towards the production mining side of the industry, the geologic foundation that S-IMEW helped build has been extremely valuable. The networking opportunities were excellent, and I continue to stay in contact with several people from that group to this day.
