The Canadian Mining Hall of Fame (CMHF) welcomed
four new individuals who have made lasting contributions to Canada’s mining
industry: P. Jerry Asp, Alex G. Balogh, Hans T.F. Lundberg and Eberhard (Ebe)

greatly contributed to Canadian society overall,” said Jon Baird, Canadian
Mining Hall of Fame Chair in a media release. “Each of these inductees,
representing different facets of our industry, is an exemplary leader who
future generations can follow, while they work to grow and sustain responsible
mining in Canada and beyond.”
