Guillaume Delprat - posted by Brian Roberts Guillaume Daniel Delprat became 6th General manager of the Broken Hill Pty in 1899. Of Dutch birth, he was a man of energy and devotion to his duties. He also possessed a fine mind, allied with experience of civil and mining engineering and management from Great Britain, Canada and Spain. Initially, Delprat was not hopeful about Broken Hill's future. In 1902, however, Delprat noticed that parts of the tailings dump were hot from slow combustion of iron and sulphur.
