50TH ANNIVERSARY
A 50th anniversary salute to corporate members
of AME's Directory and Buyers Guide
By PETER CAULFIELD
Then
& NOW
T
he Association for Mineral
Exploration (AME) has
grown over the years to
almost 5,000 members. Of
that total, 362 are corporate members.
And all of AME's corporate members
are listed in the Association's Directory
and Buyers Guide, which has been
published every year since 1968.
Many of the corporate members
listed in the directory are relatively recent
additions, a testament to the dynamism of
the mineral exploration and development
industries in B.C. and Western Canada.
But some corporate members have been
in the directory for as long, or almost as
long, as the publication itself. During the
time these venerable organizations have
been active, they have seen many changes
– in themselves, the mineral exploration
and development industries, and AME.
Mineral Exploration recently talked to
several of these companies and asked
them what they thought has changed and
what has stayed the same. (Apologies
to the many fine companies we had to
leave out of this informal survey, due
to a lack of space in the magazine.).

cover of the 16th annual directory.
