| Zusammenfassung: | "More than a century ago, a prospector discovered gold at Ontario's Kirkland Lake and a son was born to British immigrants in Saskatchewan. The boy--Norman Bell Keevil--went on to become a renowned scientist, teacher, and prospector, discovering a small but high-grade copper mine in Ontario. Parlaying that into control of the Kirkland Lake gold mine fifty years later, he formed the fledgling mining company Teck Corporation. In Never Rest on Your Ores, Keevil's son Norman, also a geoscientist, recounts how over the next fifty years, a growing team of like-minded engineers and entrepreneurs built Canada's largest diversified mining company. In candid detail he tells the story of a company and its makers, of the discovery and creation of mines, of the mechanics of industry financing, and of the role that mergers and acquisitions play in a volatile environment. Along the way he meets fascinating captains of industry and politicians not only in Canada, but in the United States and around the world. Finding an ore body--rock that holds valuable metals and minerals--and promoting its development in order to finance and create a mine, most often in hard-to-access wilderness, is complicated work, comparable to locating and extracting a needle in a very messy haystack. Underlying this history is a constant need to replenish the ore, and this need drives the people involved. Drawing new lessons from the turbulent period between 2005 and 2023, this new edition of Never Rest on Your Ores is both entertaining and instructive, a rare insider's account of an industry that has been crucial to the building of this country."-- |

The boy--Norman Bell Keevil--went on to become a renowned scientist, teacher, and prospector, discovering a small but high-grade copper mine in Ontario. Parlaying that into control of the Kirkland Lake gold mine fifty years later, he formed the fledgling mining company Teck Corporation. In Never Rest on Your Ores, Keevil's son Norman, also a geoscientist, recounts how over the next fifty years, a growing team of like-minded engineers and entrepreneurs built Canada's largest diversified mining company. In candid detail he tells the story of a company and its makers, of the discovery and creation of mines, of the mechanics of industry financing, and of the role that mergers and acquisitions play in a volatile environment. Along the way he meets fascinating captains of industry and politicians not only in Canada, but in the United States and around the world. Finding an ore body--rock that holds valuable metals and minerals--and promoting its development in order to finance and create a mine, most often in hard-to-access wilderness, is complicated work, comparable to locating and extracting a needle in a very messy haystack. Underlying this history is a constant need to replenish the ore, and this need drives the people involved. Drawing new lessons from the turbulent period between 2005 and 2023, this new edition of Never Rest on Your Ores is both entertaining and instructive, a rare insider's account of an industry that has been crucial to the building of this country."--</subfield><subfield code="c">Provided by publisher.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="505" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Cover -- NEVER REST ON YOUR ORES -- Title -- Copyright -- Dedication -- CONTENTS -- Colour -- Preface -- Preface to the Second Edition -- Acknowledgments -- List of Characters -- Maps -- Introduction -- PART ONE: BEGINNINGS -- 1 Discovering Gold -- 2 The Keevils from England -- 3 Discovering Copper at Temagami -- 4 What Happened to the Trilobites? -- 5 From Temagami to Teck Corporation -- Epilogue, Part One -- PART TWO: INTERMEZZO -- 6 From Silver to Lobsters -- 7 The Texas Gulf Discovery at Timmins -- 8 Early Prospecting in Chile -- 9 When Teck Was an Oil Company</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="505" ind1="8" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">10 Feeling the Stones in the 1960s -- Epilogue, Part Two -- PART THREE: THE NEW TECK TAKES SHAPE -- 11 Evolving Strategy, People, and Prospects -- 12 Divertimento: Tales from the Wild West -- 13 Consolidation -- 14 Building Two More New Mines -- 15 The Song of Afton -- 16 Dave Barrett and the "Socialist Hordes" -- 17 The Turbulent Seventies -- 18 Bullmoose Coal, Saving Order from Chaos -- 19 China, a Giant Stirring -- Epilogue, Part Three -- PART FOUR: A SEA CHANGE IN THE WORLD -- 20 Heady Days as an Era Nears Its End -- 21 Managing through an Unprecedented Recession</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="505" ind1="8" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">22 The Highmont Mine and Metal Prices -- 23 Hemlo and the Gold Hustlers -- 24 How Highland Valley Copper Evolved -- 25 Acquiring Cominco, the First Stage -- 26 New Mines at Red Dog and Louvicourt -- Epilogue, Part Four -- PART FIVE: THE 1990S, A SLOW ERA FOR MINING -- 27 Returning to Chile with Quebrada Blanca -- 28 Financial Problems in Cominco -- 29 The More Things Change ... -- 30 Expanding in Metallurgical Coal -- 31 Prospects Come and Go -- 32 Bob Hallbauer, a Leader Gone -- 33 The Saga of Diamond Fields -- 34 Stranger Still, the Bre-X Tale -- 35 The Sumitomo Connection</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="505" ind1="8" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">36 Finding Antamina, a Jewel in the Andes -- Epilogue, Part Five -- PART SIX: BEFORE THE BOOM -- 37 Noodling Strategy -- 38 Biting the Bullet on Cominco -- 39 Consolidating Canadian Coal -- 40 Denouement -- 41 The Changing of the Guard -- Epilogue, Part Six -- PART SEVEN: A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME PHENOMENON -- 42 Life in a Super-Cycle -- 43 Teck Rides a Roller Coaster, 2006-2020 -- Epilogue, Part Seven -- PART EIGHT: REFLECTIONS MOVING FORWARD -- 44 Crossing the Stream by Feeling the Stones -- 45 Riding into the Sunset -- Bibliography -- Index</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="588" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Description based on online resource;

"More than a century ago, a prospector discovered gold at Ontario's Kirkland Lake and a son was born to British immigrants in Saskatchewan. The boy--Norman Bell Keevil--went on to become a renowned scientist, teacher, and prospector, discovering a small but high-grade copper mine in Ontario. Parlaying that into control of the Kirkland Lake gold mine fifty years later, he formed the fledgling mining company Teck Corporation. In Never Rest on Your Ores, Keevil's son Norman, also a geoscientist, recounts how over the next fifty years, a growing team of like-minded engineers and entrepreneurs built Canada's largest diversified mining company. In candid detail he tells the story of a company and its makers, of the discovery and creation of mines, of the mechanics of industry financing, and of the role that mergers and acquisitions play in a volatile environment. Along the way he meets fascinating captains of industry and politicians not only in Canada, but in the United States and around the world. Finding an ore body--rock that holds valuable metals and minerals--and promoting its development in order to finance and create a mine, most often in hard-to-access wilderness, is complicated work, comparable to locating and extracting a needle in a very messy haystack. Underlying this history is a constant need to replenish the ore, and this need drives the people involved. Drawing new lessons from the turbulent period between 2005 and 2023, this new edition of Never Rest on Your Ores is both entertaining and instructive, a rare insider's account of an industry that has been crucial to the building of this country."-- Provided by publisher.
