Charles Thomas Hervey Nevill died early in 1927, at the age of 56.

From 1897 to 1900 he was engaged in prospecting and mining in Gippsland, Victoria, and on the West coast of Tasmania, and he then became more actively interested in metallurgy in Western Australia. For seven years he was employed in the mill and reduction works of the Brown Hill and Oroya Brown Hill mines, and in 1907 he was appointed foreman in the concentrate roaster department and sampler at the Ivanhoe Gold Corporation’s mine at Boulder. Leaving Australia in 1911 he went to the Gold Coast Colony to join the metallurgical staff of the Prestea Block “A’ as assistant reduction officer.

Mr. Nevill was elected an Associate of the Institution in 1913.
