Dale Elphinstone inducted into the Mining Hall of Fame
Dale Elphinstone became the first person outside the US to be inducted into the prestigious National Mining Hall of Fame in Denver, Colorado, on Saturday, November 2, 2024.
Dale and wife Cheryl were joined by children, Kelly and Adam, and family friends to celebrate this amazing achievement.
Dale has never been afraid of a challenge. He often says, “We did it because we didn’t know we couldn’t”.
Since 1975, when he modified Cat surface mining equipment to suit underground applications out of his Father’s shed on their Mooreville Road, Burnie farm, the Elphinstone name has been synonymous with underground mining.
