What's new this month at www.infomine.com

Meet Vince Peckham! Vince is a geographical analyst, responsible for keeping the property portion of InfoMine's website up to date. Vince, a native Newfoundlander and recent new father, has worked at InfoMine for over 3 years and before coming to our team gained 8 years of experience as an exploration geologist working for major and junior mining and exploration companies in Canada and Mexico. We encourage anybody with additional property information, especially accurate latitude/longitude or UTM coordinate data, to send the info along to Vince, to help further enhance our map.InfoMine feature.

This month, we are congratulating Vince on the new arrival to his family with the birth of his son and first child, David Emilio Peckman. We wish Vince and his wife much joy!

Professional Development

EduMine has set up a new Corporate Site Enrollment package that is designed to be mine site specific. With this program, all the employees at a particular mine site can take advantage of the on-line mining courses, tools, publications and event listings. Edumine is the only on-line mining training site in the world, and is also accredited to award CEU's which are necessary to keep professional designation current.

If you are on a mine site, please browse the Edumine Course Catalog and choose your area of interest, then see if there are courses there that would be of interest to you and your colleagues. Edumine's content is also an excellent source of reference material and recognized experts in their field design all the courses. Should you wish to learn more about our new mine site package, please contact Simon Houlding.
