Last month, company founder Edmund J. Longyear and his son and former Longyear President, Robert Longyear, were announced as the first inductees at the PDAC Convention.

Admission into The Boart Longyear Hall of Fame is the highest honor that can be bestowed on past or present Boart Longyear employees.

Achievements could be in the areas of: drilling productivity, leadership in the field, engineering, innovation, environment, health and safety or community leadership and support.

Until August 2015, Boart Longyear is accepting nominations of employees – past or present – who have more than 10 years of Company service.

“We believe Boart Longyear’s 125year history is best told by the people who created it. The campaign has uncovered some incredible pieces of history so far including rare video footage of Longyear Australia drilling in Bouganville Island in the 1970s, and photos of Edmund J Longyear as a university student in the early 1800s.” he said.
