Item from comprehensive collection of tools and technologies used by a Canadian prospector, who worked in the exploration division of Newmont Mining Corporation in Haiti between 2010 and 2013. This collection reflects three aspects of the modern Canadian mining, crucial to the understanding of this sector: mobility of the workforce, ethnicity in the workforce, and globalization. The mining workforce has been highly mobile on both community and individual levels. Entire towns formed around mining operations and died or changed their character when the resources were exhausted. Mining professionals, especially in the field of mineral exploration, work in various often remote locations around the globe, and cover long distances in their daily work. The items donated to the Museum well represent the type of tools and technologies necessary to working outdoors, in remote locations, and a tropical climate. Ethnicity continues to play a role in the sector’s hiring practices. In this particular case, an employer looked for a recent graduate, bilingual prospector, educated in Canada, who could also communicate in Haitian-Creole. A set of hiring criteria in mining is often very specific and difficult to meet by Canadian graduates, but essential to succeeding in exploration projects conducted abroad. Donated artifacts reflect Haitian-Creole cultural context of Newmont operations. [Ref. 1] - Function

Specific: Power source for personal locator beacon. - Technical
-
Power source for personal locator beacon. Batteries for this device are not rechargeable, and were to be replaced no later than 6 years after manufacture, 5 years after installation in beacon, or after emergency use. [as per markings] The beacon is a security device issued by the mining company. All field staff of Newmont are required to wear a beacon when working in remote locations. The beacon is linked to a security company that monitors the safety of employees. The employees are required to regularly conduct a self test on the device (usually in the morning). In case of emergency, the employees only need to press one red button, and press the GPS locator for 5 seconds. The monitoring company receives a distress call with exact location of the person that needs assistance and dispatches help. [Ref. 1] - Area Notes
