WorldWide Drilling Resource

50 JULY 2015 WorldWide Drilling Resource ® Dr. Johnson trying to pierce a balloon with a skewer. Jackie used oranges to explain plate tectonics. A thumbs up from Congressman Mark Amodei. Mineral and rock match showed how everyday items rely on mined products. What clever creations! Jackie and Steve put in some arts and crafts time. Scotty enticed imaginations with the pet rock activity. Some toured the underground mine... Will it work? ...and some toured the open-pit mine, but all of us had a blast! Success! ...she challenged everyone’s knowledge with this game! Amodei accepting an appreciation award from Megan Tibbals WIM Nevada chapter president. Arloa warned everyone of her twisted mind before beginning the mineral and rock match... The Women In Mining Education Foundation put on a training session which was fun and educational! Special thanks to Barrick Gold Corp. for allowing us to tour their Cortez mines! Good times with great people. Thank-you to the sponsors, as well as the Nevada chapter of WIM for a very educational and exceptional annual meeting experience! Nevada Mining Association President Dana Bennett with WIM Education Foundation President Arloa Woolford. Next year’s meeting in Missouri should be exciting; hosted by a student chapter of WIM at the Missouri University of Science and Technology.
