Toronto – TheNewswire - June 27, 2024 – Nuinsco Resources Limited (“Nuinsco” or the “Company”)(CSE:NWI), (FRA:NJX) (www.nuinsco.ca) today announced with great sadness and regret the death of Company Director Dr. James M. Franklin.
Dr. Franklin had served as a Director of Nuinsco since 2011, but his involvement with Nuinsco began a number of years earlier as a consultant on the Company’s exploration and development projects. Prior to consulting to Nuinsco, and a host of Canadian and International junior and senior mining companies, Dr. Franklin had an illustrious career in academia and the Public Service. Dr. Franklin taught at Lakehead University in the 1970s before moving to the Geological Survey of Canada (“GSC”), eventually to become Chief Scientist there. Upon retirement in 1998 Jim transitioned to the consulting role with the enthusiasm and professionalism typical of him. As a consultant he provided invaluable insight into exploration and development projects globally. He also remained in the academic sphere, becoming Adjunct Professor at several Canadian Universities. In 2019 Jim was inducted into the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame in recognition of his impact on the Canadian mining industry.
“I first met Jim in 1982 as a student in one of his courses,” said Paul Jones, CEO. “Following his retirement from the GSC I worked with him on exploration projects with several companies – his input was always pertinent, insightful, and valuable. Later, his participation in Nuinsco at the board level for more than a decade was of immense value to the Company. As a teacher, mentor, colleague and friend Jim was a pleasure to work with these nearly 30 years. Personally, I will miss him enormously. The mining industry has lost an invaluable resource and enthusiastic ambassador.”
