Tour of Underground Operations at Climax Molybdenum's Henderson Mine
Registration for the tour has closed, but a waiting list is being compiled.
The Henderson Mine is located in Clear Creek County on the east side of the Continental Divide, fifty miles west of Denver. In operation since 1976, Henderson has produced more than 160 million tons of ore and 770 million pounds of molybdenum during the past 27 years. This is an outstanding opportunity to see a full scale hard rock mining operation that has been a centerpiece of Colorado's mining industry for 35 years. For your safety, you must be fully capable of walking unassisted, at a normal pace, at high altitude, for an extended distance and be able to understand and follow the safety rules and procedures, including the use of protective equipment that will be provided.

The American Society of Civil Engineers' 2009 Report Card gave the infrastructure in the U.S. an overall grade of "D". Significant challenges face society, our current engineering workforce, and today's students who will be the engineers of the future to enhance and improve the infrastructure on which we rely for our standard of living and quality of life. Electricity was ranked as the top engineering advance of the 20th century. The widespread availability of clean water has been determined to be half of the reason for the increase in life expectancy in the U.S. from 45 years of age in 1900 to 77 years of age in 2000. Yes, the challenges are many but so are
the opportunities. Engineers make the world work. We will need many engineers, from a wide diversity of backgrounds, to build the bridges to our future.
Tickets for the E Week Celebration Banquet are $55 per person.
