The National Mining Hall of Fame in Leadville, Colo., has announced its inductee selections for the 2022 National Mining Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inductees, selected by the group\u2019s board of governors, are being honored for a number of significant contributions, from trailblazing a commitment to sustainability concepts and leading the mineral royalty business to building academic mining programs and innovations in coal mine ground control and longwall mining, to advocating for a strong domestic mining industry to supply the nation\u2019s needs for critical minerals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inductee class includes Syd Peng, Timothy Haddon, Pierre Lassonde, Thomas O\u2019Neil and Sheldon P. Wimpfen (posthumously).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Prazen Living Legend of Mining Award, named for renowned mining artist Gary Prazen, will be awarded to an industry-leading organization with a significant commitment to educating and engaging the public stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, the education outreach program at the Lowell Institute for Mineral Resources will be honored for its work to help K-12 students and teachers understand the importance of mining and mineral resources in everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are proud and honored to be inducting such a worthy class of mining legends. I would also like to thank our Board of Governors who are dedicated to providing a great list of nominees every year,\u201d National Mining Hall of Fame and Museum board of directors chair David Travis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 35th annual Induction Banquet will be held the evening of October 29 at the Denver Marriott South at Park Meadows in Lone Tree, Colo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
