We owe a debt of gratitude to senior Inco geologist Hugh Fraser for publishing this book in 1985. It describes in great detail an incredible exploration effort that culminated in the 1956 discovery of the Thompson nickel deposit that is still being mined today.
Edited by Thomas E. Graedel and Ester van der Voet: Linkages of Sustainability
"To meet the challenge surrounding the sustainable use of resources, improvements are needed in many areas: technological innovation across the entire mineral life cycle (e.g. improvements in exploration, mining, and processing methods, product design and recycling system design), new policy instuments, more complete databases, more integrated models, better-informed stakeholders and citizen iniatives, and various types of entrepreneurship. Most importantly, the challenge of sustainability requires a generation of practitioners and analysts with a multidisciplinary understanding of a broad set of issues."
