ACA HOWE INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

In recognition of Cal’s outstanding career as a geologist providing a high standard of service to the mineral exploration and mining industry worldwide, a Memorial Fund is to be established with the support of his family, friends and professional colleagues. Cal was known throughout the industry as a man of great integrity and vision. He was highly respected by colleagues and clients and it is fitting that his valuable professional contribution should be remembered.

The Memorial Fund will be at Manchester University, where Cal graduated in 1965, specifically to be used through the Department of Geology. Detailed aspects are currently being developed in conjunction with the University, having regard to charities legislation and other relevant aspects.

The aim is for this to be a lasting memorial, providing, for example, bursaries or prizes for geological studies, although the form it takes will depend on the amount of contributions received.

A C A Howe International Limited originally commenced operations as a geological and mining consultancy service in Canada in 1961. The UK office was opened in 1978 and the two offices maintain close co-operation on many projects in order to augment expertise and offer a more efficient service to clients where appropriate.

In addition to our full-time technical and support staff, some of whom have been with the group for many years and provide invaluable project continuity, we also have a number of long-standing Associates who provide assistance and particular expertise on specific projects on a regular basis.

Howe has now provided expertise on well over one thousand projects for the minerals industry at many levels of development, ranging from area selection and grass roots exploration for mining companies to reserve audits and feasibility studies for financial institutions.
