Interesting write-up on the 'new guy' on the website...here's a few excerpts...

During his college days, Don went to work at the fabled Climax moly mine in Colorado. It is there that he learned to drill, blast, muck and lay track...

Don initiated a program at a previous company to ask mine and mill workers to swap jobs for a time, resulting in a greater appreciation and understanding by everyone.

“Earl Harrison has done the same thing at Ashdown, which is very good. It breaks down the barriers or avoids them in the first place. After all, the miners and the mill guys are all part of the same operation. The feedback needs to be there. Grade control becomes everybody’s business, especially in an operation of this compact size and with these high grades.”

When asked about his contacts in the Nevada mining world, Don reminds us that as Chairman of the Nevada Mining Association, he hired Russ Fields, the NMA’s current President, and both men maintain a close relationship. “My five years on the Board of the NMA were tremendously helpful in getting to know the people and properties throughout Nevada, and I’ve kept up my Nevada contacts over the years.”

- Don will remain self-assigned to the Ashdown project in Denio until it is time to join management at the Sparks headquarters or one of our other properties. -
