van Diest Gold Medalists:

The van Diest Gold Medal, established in 1949 by the late Edmond van Diest, E.M. 1886, was awarded to an alumnus in his or her fifth to 15th year after graduation with a bachelor of science degree. The award was made for “outstanding contribution” such as an original and significant addition to science or engineering knowledge related to the field of mineral engineering. It may have been an original idea regarding design, technique, process, or interpretation of data that led to a definite advance in discovery, recovery, refining, or utilization of natural mineral resources.
