Dear Colleagues 

  

I regret to pass along news of Dutch Van Blaircom’s passing on Dec 30th. Dutch 
was a long term member of the Spokane mining community, employee of Cominco 
America as Chief Geophysicist and strong supporter of the NorthWest Mining 
Association. He and Cominco colleague Louis O’Connor co-authored the seminal 
paper on the Red Dog deposit given at Exploration ’87. Dutch was also the 
driving force behind the excellent Practical Geophysics series that came out in 
the late 1990s.

  

On behalf of the SEGMIN community, I extend our deepest condolences to Dutch’s 
family, friends and colleagues.

  

Respectfully/Ken Witherly

  

Geophysics is often of the greatest value for the questions it 

raises than the answers it provides.
