After reviewing a century of Canadian mining in his new book, Teck Chair Norman Keevil tells E&MJ two lawsuits shed light on the legal implications of seemingly mundane exploration contract negotiations

The idea, Teck Resources Chair Dr. Norman B. Keevil said, was to write a history of the family business and to summarize roughly a century of Canadian mining history. The resulting 460-page book, Never Rest on Your Ores: Building a Mining Company, One Stone at a Time, released last year, homes in on a number of topics and provides several lessons on goal-generation and macro strategy, long-term decision-making, and strategic consolidation in a sometimes-tumultuous sector.
