Mr. H. P. Dickey, Vice-President and General Manager of the Dominion Wabana Ore Limited, announced recently the appointment of Mr. Victor John Southey to the position of General Superintendent. In this capacity, Mr. Southey will have general supervision of all phases of the operation.

Born in Kent, England, Mr. Southey came to Canada at the age of 12. He received his elementary and high school education at Winnipeg and Vancouver. In 1933, he graduated from the University of British Columbia as Mining Engineer.

During his university years he spent summers working underground at Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelting and Power Company and also worked on geological exploration for the Department of National Resources, Regina, Saskatchewan. Following graduation, he again joined the staff of Granby Consolidated where he was engaged in underground and engineering work which led to employment as surveyor. Upon the closing of this mine, he spent 1 year at the Premier Gold Mining Company near Stewart, B.C., as an underground miner. Mr. Southey then moved to Ontario and was employed at the Hollinger Consolidated Gold Mines and while there spent 2 years in the engineering department and two years underground both as miner and spare shift foreman.

For family reasons, he moved back West in 1941 and obtained a position as night foreman at a gold mining property on Vancouver Island. With the imminent closing of this mine, he took charge as superintendent of the development of a gold mining prospect in the local Area of British Columbia. He was then engaged as construction engineer with the Defense Industries Limited at their Shell Filling plant at Ajax, Ontario. When this assignment was completed he was appointed Manager of a chrome mining project of the Wartime Metals Corporation at Black Lake, Quebec. On the closing of this mine around 1944, Mr. Southey accepted a position as Engineer with the Asbestos Corporation, Limited, at Thetford Mines, Quebec. Positions held with this Company included Under-Ground Superintendent of the King Mine and Manager of the Vimy Ridge Mine. In 1954 he left to take charge of the development of a base metal mine for the American Metal Company in New Brunswick. The following year and up to his present appointment he was employed as Project Superintendent in charge of the construction and installation of boiler mining and milling plants of the Bicroft Uranium Mining Company at Bancroft, Ontario.

Mr. Southey brings to Wabana a wealth of experience in all phases of mining, construction, exploration and development undertakings. Besides being a curling enthusiast, he is keenly interested in fishing and tennis. Mr. And Mrs. Southey and young daughter Carol will be taking up residence on Bell Island in the near future.
