GEOTEMPS AND LYLE TAYLOR MACKAY SCHOLARSHIPS ESTABLISHED

HISTORIC VIRGINIA CITY MINERS UNION RECORDS PLEDGED TO UNR SPECIAL COLLECTIONS

NWMA 'STARTERS AWARD' RENAMED TO HONOR LYLE TAYLOR

GEOTEMPS, Inc. represents a culture of mining professionals dedicated to the preservation of a vital and necessary industry. And with the help of Geotemps and other interested companies and organizations, the next generation of that industry will find recruitment, training, and a rewarding future.

New and historic communities dependant upon traditional and modern exctraction techniques provide the fundamental materials required by modern culture. These communities easily understand the basic concept: 'If it can't be grown it has to be mined.'

As a member of the mining community, GEOTEMPS is proud to promote and support industry for this generation and the next.

As GEOTEMPS, Inc. discovers talent world wide, it also assists in the cultivation of careers in the making. As an example, Geotemps currently sponsors student memberships for the Geologic Society of Nevada, Northern Chapter.

GEOTEMPS, Inc. corporate culture reflects three generations of mining professionals, including Kennecott Copper Safety Engineer Gordon C. Frisby, a 30 year industry veteran whose safety department was awarded the American Mining Congress Sentinel of Safety Open Pit Mine Award in 1972. Geotemps, Inc. founder and president Thomas Lyle Taylor, whose lengthy career also spanned 3 decades, was a Northwest Mining Association award recipient, board member and President. Lyle Taylor was also a lifetime membership recipient of the Geologic Society of Nevada and an Executive Advisory Board member for the Mackay School of Earth Science and Engineering, among other accomplishments and awards.

Well known for his generosity and commitment, Lyle Taylor was eulogized by Nevada Congressman Jim Gibbons in his monthly newsletter as "a tireless leader and advocate for the mining industry who worked with me on a number of issues critical to land management. Nevada has lost a great leader and friend."

Upholding the Geotemps tradition, president Lance I. Taylor brings his industry experience and
professional expertise to the job while presently serving as a Northwest Mining Association board member, a Mackay School of Earth Science and Engineering Executive Advisory Board member, and a sponsor of various industry and community events, including the Nevada Mining Association Annual Safety Awards and the Governor's annual 'Tin Cup Tea' in support of the Nevada State Museum and the W.M. Keck Earth Science and Mineral Engineering Museum.

As Taylor explains, "It is vital to the health and preservation of our industry and culture that
specific organizations be strongly supported."
