Show THE FOLLOWING IS AN INTERVIEW WITH MARK E. SHIPMAN, CONDUCTED BY RICHARD GIBBS, AT 1129 COLORADO AVENUE, GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO, ON JULY 23, 1970. RG: Well, first of all Mr. Shipman, I'd like you to give me a little of your background, when you first came in contact with the uranium business and how. MS: I was going to the Colorado School of Mines in 1948 as a student. There was a very close friend there who was doing his graduate thesis work on uranium deposits, in particular pitchblende deposits on the front range along the Denver area. I helped him with several field projects, visiting old mines, not commercial quantities but hand specimens, at least of high grade uranium were known to occur. We gathered these in the field and Jim did this work in the laboratory and later concluded with his thesis on the subject. RG: When did you first enter the uranium business? MS: Full-time in 1953. RG: In what capacity was this? MS: I started out on a consul ting basis working with various companies, largely concerned with the valuation of the mining properties they held and often times in connection with potential stock issues. |
