On April 1st [no fooling!] our grade 10, 11, and 12 students had the privilege of spending the morning at Chambishi Metals. I was pleased to see how well-prepared they were for the outing, coming with lists of questions they intended to ask if they were not addressed. But there needn't have been a fear: the metallurgists who guided us along the way truly provided a wealth of information, reinforcing and adding to all the chemistry, geography, and other subject lessons they've been involved in. From outlining the process, step by step, from raw material to refined copper and cobalt, to guiding us through the maze of factory equipment and pools of the metals in various stages of their refining, we truly got a full, and fascinating, picture of it all! Judging from the attentive reaction our Amano attendees displayed, we wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if some of these smart students carried on to become metallurgists themselves!
