TORONTO, Jan. 11 /PRNewswire/ - In recognition of a
storied mining career that spans five decades, Mike Muzylowski, Callinan President and CEO, is being inducted
into the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame.
In a ceremony to be held this coming Thursday, January the
13th, 2011, Mike
Muzylowski will be enshrined amongst other great Canadian
Developers. The Hall of Fame's official citation will pay tribute
to his instrumental role in the discovery of 16 producing mines
that have "earned him the title of 'Mr. Mine Finder.'"
Mr. Muzylowski's career accomplishments include the discovery
and development of the Trout Lake
and Tartan Lake mines in Flin Flon,
Manitoba, and the Hycroft mine in the state of Nevada. Mike also assisted in the discovery
and development of the New Afton mine near Kamloops, BC, among numerous others. Whenever
these discoveries are discussed, Mike is careful to give credit to
the geological and geophysical professionals who worked alongside
him - most notably Pat J. DeVeaux
and Mo Prew.
Mike's career in mining burgeoned through the application of
techniques pioneered by fellow hall of famer Albert A. Koffman who advocated aggressive drill
testing of targets established through airborne geophysics, and
defined by surface geophysics. Much of Mike's work was done in the
Flin Flon and Snow Lake areas of the province of
Manitoba, where the company that
he leads is still very active today.
Callinan's staff and board of directors are very proud to be
associated with Mr. Muzylowski and congratulate him for this well
deserved award. The board wishes him the very best on
the continuation of his successful career.
On Behalf of Callinan's Staff and Board of Directors,
Brian Irwin
