Society relies heavily on mined minerals for everything from fuel and energy, building materials and agriculture to cellphones, computers, automobiles and jets. As demand for resources increases, so do the challenges around using and producing minerals responsibly. Solutions require a comprehensive approach across disciplines, sectors and communities. Drawing on University of Arizona strengths, the School of Mining and Mineral Resources is dedicated to educating the next generation of professionals and providing a talent pool to help ensure sustainability of these crucial minerals. JOB DEVELOPMENT GEARED TO INDUSTRY & SOCIETAL NEEDS Giving learners at all levels a competitive edge The school’s outreach exposes young people to the diverse, meaningful career opportunities in mining and mineral resources, showing them early on how their personal interests and talents can meet job demand and societal needs. Students at all levels – including undergraduates, graduate students and working professionals – gain a competitive edge. Through specialized classes, minor degree programs and collaborative projects, they acquire knowledge and skills to contribute significantly to a rapidly evolving global field. As a designated Hispanic Serving Institution near Arizona’s border with Mexico, the university is well-positioned to serve the talent development needs of the greater region. Educational Offerings • General education courses that teach undergraduates across majors about mining and mineral resources • Minor in Sustainable Mineral Resources • Certificates in areas ranging from automation to community relations • Research and teaching assistantships for graduate students • Professional development courses • Intensive geological field courses • On-demand online courses

Zero degrees of separation between modern life and mining.
What does voting have to do with mining? The voting machine is essentially a computer with over 66 mined minerals in it, such as Gold, Silver, Copper, Platinum, Rare Earth Elements, Aluminum, Cadmium, Cobalt, Lead and Zinc to name a few. If it can't be grown it must be MINED!
Congratulations Jack and Adam. We are so appreciative of your support.
The Northern Miner has named Lundin Mining Chair Adam Lundin and President & CEO Jack Lundin as 2024’s Persons of the Year.
