CSM's first mineral processing graduates




Had a couple of emails today from Pete Walsh, who was one of the first students to graduate in mineral processing technology at Camborne School of Mines in 1979. Unfortunately Pete has just been made redundant from SGS in Cornwall, but has put names to the people in the 1979 photo:
Back row: Pete Walsh, Keith Burdon, Dave Binns, Martin Moloney, Nuru Yakubu, Musa Sheikh, Dave Dew, Danlami Garba, Pete Gilmour, Howard Askew and Ramsamujh.
I would love to know the whereabouts of these students. Dave Binns I know is running a gem shop in Hastings; Martin Moloney I last saw in Australia; Nuru Yakubu I met up with in Zimbabwe about 20 years ago; Musa Sheik I met at the Indaba meeting in Cape Town about 5 years ago- he was with the Nigerian High Commission; Dave Dew was with BHP Billiton in South Africa.
The 1979 mineral processing staff are on the front row:
Next to me are Vic Phillips (deceased); Jim Turner (retired in Truro); Roger Parker (deceased); Bob Barley (retired in Camborne).

    Hi Debbie,
    In 1979, all the Min. Pro. students exchanged addresses & Danlami's address was shown as 3263 Sardauna Crescent, Kaduna, Nigeria (though the first digit was altered so it might have been 1263 or even just 263 - Dave Binns who wrote the list might know)

    Anyone know where Dave Dew is now?

    Pete Walsh
