Pat Sheridan (1932-) Pat graduated from the U of T in 1955. The first conductor he ever worked on in New Brunswick turned out to be an ore body but didn’t become a mine until over 50 years later. As a bonus for finding the ore body, he chose a bottle of Queen Ann Scott whiskey…apparently not the best whiskey around at the time. It didn’t take long to realize that ore bodies were not that easy to find. He found the Lac des Illes mine near Thunder Bay and advises prospectors to be inquisitive and not believe everything they hear from geologists, keep exploring and work like hell.
