From the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame website:
"Dr. Keevil left his academic career in 1946 to establish Mining Geophysics Corporation, a consulting organization. As a consultant to Dominion Gulf Company, he became familiar with an airborne magnetic device developed during World War II for submarine detection. When the detector was declassified for peacetime use, Dr. Keevil and his staff began using it and integrating its data in terms of mining geophysics.
During testing of this equipment for Dominion Gulf Company, for whom he flew some 100,000 miles, a strong magnetic anomaly was discovered in the Lake Temagami region. Gulf decided not to pursue this prospect and when Dr. Keevil left the company in 1947, he was given freedom to explore the area. Seven years later, Dr. Keevil and his associates succeeded in finding the high-grade copper deposit that became the Temagami Mine. The effect of this discovery was twofold: airborne magnetic surveys changed the nature of mining exploration; and the Temagami Mine became the taproot of the energetic Teck Corporation he founded."
