JOHN M. GUILBERT, CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD, SELECTED BY THE SOCIETY OF ECONOMIC GEOLOGISTS FOR THE 1998 PENROSE GOLD MEDAL
JABA Inc. is most pleased and particularly honored to announce that the Society of Economic Geologists (SEG) has selected Dr. John M. Guilbert, Professor Emeritus of Economic Geology, University of Arizona, to receive the Society's Penrose Gold Medal for 1998, a coveted honor.
R.A.F. Penrose died in 1931 at the age of 68. He astounded the American science community by bequeathing $5 million each to his two passions, the Geological Society of America (GSA) and the American Philosophical Society. A philanthropist-entrepreneur-geologist, Penrose earned his first fortune at the Commonwealth silver-gold mine at Pearce, Arizona, which led to his major role in establishing the Utah Copper Corporation, later Kennecott Copper Corporation. He had served as founder and first President of the Society of Economic Geologists in 1920 and President of GSA in 1930. He established two funds for gold medals to be given in his name by the GSA and SEG, each its Society's most elite medal.
The SEG Penrose Gold Medal is awarded "in recognition of a full career in the performance of ‘unusually original work in the earth sciences', which is broadly interpreted to encompass major contributions to: (1) the science through research; (2) the profession through teaching, program administration, and development of exploration technology; and (3) the development of mineral resources through mine geology, exploration and discovery." Only thirty-three SEG Penrose Medals have been awarded in the 68 years since 1920 to senior scientists who have made significant contributions to the science of economic geology throughout their careers. It is significant to note that 12 of the 33 medals have gone to scientists in Universities. The University of Arizona has garnered the most (3) and is the only University to have to have won two consecutively.
This well-deserved award recognizes Dr. Guilbert's ground-breaking research on porphyry copper deposits, as well as a wide range of other deposit types around the world. The award also recognizes John's very significant contribution to the education of an entire generation of economic geologists through his distinguished career at the University of Arizona and his widely used textbook, ‘The Geology of Ore Deposits', and the many field trips that he has carried out during his professorship.
