Not only has Graham Farquharson achieved great things in his mining career and earned an outstanding reputation amongst his peers, he has done so with principles, working to ensure that indigenous people benefit from mining projects in their communities. Originally from Timmins, Ont., Mr. Farquharson grew up in Bathurst, N.B., and attended UNB where he played hockey from 1959 to 1962.
He worked at mines in Uganda and Namibia before returning to Canada where he co-founded Strathcona Mineral Services Ltd. in 1974. Thirty-five years later, he continues to serve as president. Highly respected by the mining industry, he was the one the community turned to when doubts arose about the authenticity of the Bre-X gold discoveries.
His analysis demonstrated the company's claims were fraudulent. For his many achievements and for demonstrating a commitment to integrity, fairness and technical excellence, he was inducted into the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame in 2010.
He volunteers as chairman of the Canadian Mineral Industry Education Foundation, which provides scholarships to students entering the mining industry; and as director of the Physicians' Services Incorporated Foundation.
In addition to supporting the Varsity Reds and other projects at UNB over the past 20 years, he is a major benefactor of kidney cancer research at the Princess Margaret Hospital, where he established a research chair and research program in honour of his wife, Anna-Liisa.
