Jessica Rudd
Laurentian University
Jessica Rudd is a 2025 graduate from the chemical engineering program at Laurentian University. Growing up in Sudbury, Ontario, she gained a strong appreciation for the mining and metallurgical industry at an early age. This passion translated into a degree in chemical engineering, where she had the opportunity to learn more about the subject through several courses on mineral processing and metallurgy. Jessica stayed actively involved in school clubs and events throughout her undergraduate years – including leadership roles (such as President and Vice President) for the Laurentian University Chemical Engineering Chapter and the Laurentian University CIM MetSoc Student Chapter. She also completed a sixteen-month co-op at Vale’s Port Colborne Refinery with their Process Technology team. During her placement, she worked on many projects involving the hydrometallurgical processing of precious metals and cobalt. Currently, Jessica is enrolled as a M.A.Sc. student at Laurentian University, with the goal of completing a PhD in engineering science.
HENRY SALOMON DE FRIEDBERG UNDERGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP
Warren Wourms
University of Saskatchewan
My name is Warren Wourms; I have just completed my third year of Chemical Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan. I was raised on a family farm in a small town in rural Saskatchewan, where many local farms supported their income at the nearby Mosaic potash mines in Esterhazy. This environment motivated me to study mining and hydrometallurgy and pursue a career in this field.
Last summer I gained valuable work experience as an intern at a nearby canola oil crush plant and refinery. To prepare myself for a future in mining, I have taken mineral processing electives at university. These electives helped me secure a 16-month internship with Cameco, where I am excited to gain real-world knowledge in mining. To keep me out of trouble, I stay busy in university by being heavily involved with the quarter-scale tractor engineering design team.

HENRY SALOMON DE FRIEDBERG SCHOLARSHIP
Henry began his journey with Teck as an Engineer in Training at Teck’s Trail Operations. During his time in Trail Henry assisted in the start-up of various plants, including Zinc Pressure Leach, the Copper Products Plant, and the KIVCET lead furnace which was essential to the long-term success of the operation. Starting in 1996 Henry took a position at Quebrada Blanca in Chile where he was involved in the successful commissioning of the first large-scale secondary sulphide heap leach operation. After 5-years he moved back to Trail for several years before joining CESL in Richmond in 2007 where he worked until his retirement in 2016.
Henry was passionate about his work and metallurgy. This passion helped him foster innovation in the workplace, increase fundamental understanding and support the development of metallurgists through his ties to UBC. He was a mentor to many. Henry’s expertise and love of learning supported numerous staff and other Teck projects during his career. Henry’s expertise supported numerous projects during his career, and his passion for development of metallurgists left an impactful legacy.
