We are deeply saddened to report the passing of matriarch, Edith I.V. Clark, who met William George Clark, Freeport founder, at the Giant Gold Mine in Yellowknife, NWT, in the 1950's. Originally from Vienna, Austria, Edith was an adventurer, a published author, actress, talented artist, musician, teacher, and most of all, a dedicated mother. 'Mutti' was a free spirit who lived life creatively, with an unextinguishable joie de vivre even in times of great hardship. A Celebration of Life will be held on her birthday, April 8. Friends wishing to attend may contact us for details.
Freeport also acknowledges the recent sudden passing of Zenaida Manalo, friend and past CFO. Zeny's sunny, frank disposition was a cornerstone in our daily operations. She is missed.
