“I feel privileged to be working with such a fine body of men and women who, with their enthusiasm and dedication, have brought Detour Lake to the position we now hold — a profitable, cash- generating gold mine which regards its employees as one of its most valuable assets,” says mine manager T. L. Mann.
An honors graduate in mining engineering from Nottingham University in the U.K. in 1968, he worked in the Zambian copper belt for seven years as a shift boss, mine captain and assistant under ground manager with Nchanga Consolidated Copper Mines (former Anglo American). Then in 1975 he went to Ireland as manager of two underground gypsum mines for Gypsum Industries Ireland.
He emigrated to Canada in 1980 to work for Canadian Mine Services as a mining engineer until joining the Dome Mines group in 1984 as project engineer for the Musselwhite project.
The following year he was promoted to the post of Chief Mine Engineer for the Dome Mines Group. Then in April, 1986 he was sent to Detour Lake on “temporary assignment,” accepting the permanent position of manager of operations there the following year and subsequently was named mine manager.
