Rainy River's story begins with prospector Walter Baker in the 1920's. Walter Baker had great discovery success and has had considerable impact on the mining industry, especially in the Hemlo and Thunder Bay areas of Canada. This success sparked the interest of the eldest of his two sons, Nelson Baker, who began by helping his father during his summer holidays at the age of fourteen. Just like his father, Nelson acquired a deep love for mineral exploration. Spurred by a keen desire to find the next "big" mine, Nelson acquired a degree in geological engineering and started working in the field. Nelson Baker first met Stuart Averill in 1969 at Setting Net Lake and they quickly became friends whose careers would intertwine for the next 30 plus years. Since the early 70's, Stu as a contractor and Nelson as a consultant, conducted several reverse circulation heavy mineral till sampling programs for various junior resource companies throughout the Yukon, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec. Since the acquisition of the Rainy River project, Nelson Baker became the President of Rainy River Resources and he asked Stu Averill to join the team. The second of the two sons of Walter Baker, C.J. Baker, like Nelson began his career in the field by helping his father. After working for a long period in Australia, he came back to Canada and was a natural fit to join the Rainy River team as Project Manager. The third generation of the Baker family, Nelson's son naturally developed an admiration for his father and his grandfather in their quest for exploring mining opportunities. Brad Baker worked for several junior mining companies and gained an understanding about discovering new mineral deposits. He has now joined the Rainy River team along with his father and uncle. The three generations of the Baker legacy and experience continues to grow strong as they join forces to form the team to discover the hidden deposits in the Rainy River greenstone belt. |  Jun 10, 2008: More Wide Gold Intervals Near Surface in 17/ODM Zo...
