Ladies and Gentlemen, and Head Table Guests.
I’m sure I’m not the only person in the room happy to see the back end of 2008.
However in spite of that generally miserable year, there was at least one bright spot for the Canadian Mining Industry.
One month ago, the Teck Suite of Earth Science Galleries was opened at the Royal Ontario Museum. There are three galleries within the Suite; the Vale Inco Gallery of Minerals, the Gold and Gem Gallery and especially for us here tonight, the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame Gallery.
These are all remarkable, and I’m sure, there is not a person in the room who would not learn something new during a visit – either about minerals, gems or people.
