Today is International Women’s Day, and we at the Critical Minerals Association (UK) want to give a big shoutout to all the brilliant and inspiring women we know and work with in the mining sector. A 2022 report from Ernst & Young Global Ltd. estimated that only 12% of the global mining and metals workforce is composed of women. And despite this, women have been at the forefront of every one of our initiatives. Founder and CEO Kirsty Benham leads our UK association, COO Olimpia Pilch leads the Critical Minerals International Alliance, and Namali Mackay heads up the Critical Minerals Association Australia. They are supported by a larger team of women in mining, including Eileen Maes, Lily Dickson and Becca D., and the Chairs of our working groups, who are world-leading experts in their respective fields: Lucy Smith, Lucy Crane, and Jane Joughin. We would also like to highlight the following women among our membership, for their invaluable contributions over the years to the Association's work: Amanda van Dyke, Jessica Green, Philipa Varris, Margery (Marge) Ryan, Emma Schofield, Georgia Alice Rigoni, Fiona Cessford, Lydia Bridges, Sarah Gordon, Rose Clarke, Anna Gibbs, Adriana Merino Zamora and Marla Gale. The CMA (UK) is dedicated to highlighting and promoting the work of women in mining, for the diversity of an industry reflects its capacity for resilience and innovation. The speakers for our 3rd Annual Conference, held on the 28 November 2023 in London, were 53% women. As the energy transition gathers pace, the mining and metals sectors will prove to be among the most important sectors of our modern and green economy. Women have a big role to play in that transformation, and this role is sure to expand and contribute to the overcoming of many challenges. Happy International Women’s Day!

#HerThoughts Cont.. The #Road #Less #Mined In yesterday's post, we converged on the necessity of a transformative shift, one that places local communities at the forefront of managing our mineral wealth. True to my promise, I'm here to share insights from my experience at this year's Mining Indaba (#MI24), marking my second participation in this pivotal event. This year, I noticed a refreshing wave, distinct and promising in its approach towards Artisanal and Small-scale Mining (ASM) and community-centered initiatives. The discourse was rich and enthusiastic, pointing towards a unified direction: the integration of ASM and community-first practices into the mainstream. This signals a potential future where the bull's eye of sustainable and inclusive mining practices is not just aimed at but hit with precision. The question of motivation, however, remains pivotal. Is the focus on ASM now sharpened due to the soaring demand for critical minerals like cobalt and copper, mined by ASM? This brings us to a crossroads of sorts. Will the historical criticisms of ASM—its sustainability, environmental impacts, and more—be merely brushed aside, or will this moment serve as the catalyst for a comprehensive, 360-degree transformation the sector so critically needs? I'm inclined to think out loud on these topics, inviting insights and perspectives from industry gurus. The path less mined is fraught with challenges, yet it's ripe with the potential for groundbreaking change. Can we collectively pivot towards practices that not only meet the global demand for critical minerals but do so in a way that uplifts communities, preserves our planet, and sets a new standard for sustainability in mining? Let's engage in this vital conversation. Your thoughts, experiences, and insights could very well pave the way for the next big leap in sustainable mining. #SheIsAMine #ASM #SustainableMining #CommunityDevelopment #CriticalMinerals #MiningIndaba Cc.
