A retired Vale Inco miner will be holding a book signing event at Dynamic Earth, Home of the Big Nickel, on Saturday, October 18th from 1 pm to 4 pm. Members of the public, and representatives from the media, are invited to meet the author, Hans Brasch, in person.
Brasch joined Vale Inco in 1952 and retired from the company inn 1992. He has penned a book, Mining Then and Now in the Sudbury Basin, to recount a century of mining in Greater Sudbury through words and photographs, from the past and present.
“In my 40 years working in the mining industry many things have changed. The last 100 years of mining have been even more incredible – going from pick and shovel, to computerized and mechanized mining. This book is a collection of information that I have compiled in order for readers to appreciate these vast achievements.”

Brasch will have some historical mining equipment on display during the book signing. His book is for sale in the Big Nickel Boutique at Dynamic Earth.
This weekend also marks the end of the regular season at Dynamic Earth.
The annual Halloween event, which includes North America’s only underground haunted house – the Tunnel of Terror, will take place from October 23rd to 30th!
In order to accommodate the macabre transformation of Dynamic Earth, the centre will be closed next week until it reopens on Thursday, October 23rd. The regular Dynamic Earth experience is not available during the Halloween event. The last day for the regular Dynamic Earth experience is Sunday, October 19th.
