Mawby Street	Maurice Alan Edgar Mawby (1904-1977)	Mining Industry
Maurice Mawby was born in Broken Hill, NSW.  He was unable to take up a university scholarship and so studied at the local technical school. 
He gained vast experience working underground and at 17 was appointed assistant to a Royal Commission regarding lead poisoning in the mines.  In 1924 he led a party to the Cape Yorke Peninsula, which proved that bauxite would be found. 
Maurice became the first manager of New Broken Hill Consolidated Ltd in 1944 and eventually chairman of the giant Conzinc Riotinto of Australia Ltd.  He was President of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, and was awarded its bronze medal and highest honour in 1956.  
He was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1959.  Four years later he was created a Knight Bachelor 'for services to mining and industry'.
