(Laurence Charles), 1910- Western Mining Corporation -- History Mineral industries -- Western Australia -- History He was an underground gold miner in WA'sÂMurchison. In 1934 he joinedÂWestern Mining Corporation's Triton mine nearÂCueÂas a machine miner. Next he went toÂKalgoorlie, took a shift job at the Kalgurli Ore Treatment Company's plant and began a part-time course at theÂWA School of Mines. On the goldfields he played the violin, sang and was involved in amateur theatricals. In 1939 he worked at the Emperor Mine inÂFiji. WhenÂWorld War IIÂstarted he returned to WA and worked as plant superintendent onÂClaude de Bernales' Baileys Mine atÂCoolgardie. When Japan entered the war in 1941 Brodie-Hall enlisted as aÂsapperÂin theÂRoyal Australian Engineers. By the end of the war he was a captain. He returned to Kalgoorlie after demobilisation and completed mining and metallurgy degrees at the WA School of Mines under the Commonwealth Rehabilitation Scheme.ÂIn 1948 WMC's managing director, (Sir)ÂLindesay Clark, offered him a job as junior mine geologist atÂNorseman. He was soon transferred toÂMelbourneÂas technical assistant to Sir Lindesay.In 1951, Brodie-Hall was appointed General Superintendent of Great Western Consolidated. For the next seven years he worked atÂBullfinchÂwhere he established a reputation for technical innovation and good management. A combination of high inflation and below-expected grades resulted in a financial disaster for the company. In 1958 he was promoted to WMC's General Superintendent in WA, and in 1962 he became an executive director. He was involved in the Geraldton Iron Ore Joint Venture, which led to Australia's first shipment of iron ore under long-term contract to Japan in March 1966. It was due to his encouragement and support that WMC discoveredÂnickelÂsulphides atÂKambaldaÂin January 1966. The rapid establishment of Kambalda Nickel Operations in 1967, theÂKwinana Nickel RefineryÂin 1970 and theÂKalgoorlie Nickel SmelterÂin 1972 were among his major achievements.After moving to Perth in 1967 he increasingly involved himself in industry and community affairs. He was President of the WA Chamber of Mines from 1970 to 1974, a member of the Australian Mining Industry Council and President of theÂAustralasian Institute of Mining and MetallurgyÂin 1973 as well as being made an honorary fellow in 1988 of the AusIMM. Government and advisory body service included the WA Environmental Protection Council, theÂCSIROÂCouncil and Chairman of the State Committee of CSIRO. He received theÂWestern Australian Citizen of the Year AwardÂin 1974, was made a Companion of theÂOrder of St Michael and St GeorgeÂ(CMG) in 1976, created a Knight Bachelor in 1982, and was made a Freeman of theÂCity of Kalgoorlie-BoulderÂin 1989. He was a director ofÂAnsett Australia. He was appointed an Officer of theÂOrder of AustraliaÂ(AO) in the Australia Day Honours in 1993 in recognition of his contribution to the Australian mining industry.  Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
