Hexagon Mining’s Post

**WOMEN IN ENGINEERING** Many women feel impostor syndrome at work. When applying for jobs, many women state that they don't feel like they can do it. Men don't often have that confidence crisis. It is so amazing to see/hear stories of women supporting women, especially in a male dominated industry. Our mining team is a great example of women in leadership, women in technical roles, women leading an industry. These women are the role models to the young women out there who are thinking about getting into sciences, technology, and engineering. They are the examples showing young women they can do it too! #bbaconsultants #engineering #womeninengineering

Unless you are reading this somehow via telepathy or looking over someone’s shoulder, without mining, the device you are using does not exist! And for that matter, would have no electricity to charge it. We still need mining you ask… you bet we do. More importantly we need clever well trained people to deploy leading edge technology… AI, digital twins, automated mobile equipment, and more to produce essential raw materials safely and environmentally responsibly. This is not your grandparents mining industry! So if you have or know a high school student looking for a career in an industry where we are desperate to find enough people to keep up with the worlds demands especially in the transition to green energy, check this out… and come hear first hand from a panel representing representing the fields of accounting, marketing, law, business development, sustainability, management, construction, and engineering… we need them all, and more!

Miners are rightly concerned about Gen Z attitudes towards the industry, but it's not all doom and gloom.   Together with the University of Arizona School of Mining & Mineral Resources, we asked students at the Mines for Limitless Minds careers fair for their perspectives.   The responses show that many students are curious to learn more about mining and minerals... and possibly even pursue careers in the industry. Watch the video below for the students' responses. Click the following link for news and analysis on mining's skills shortages: https://lnkd.in/dmyipFRi

Grade 10-12 students learned all about career pathways into mining through hands-on activities at USask Department of Geological Sciences for our 1st Spotlight on Mining with Saskatoon Industry Education Council! Engaging future employees who will sustainably feed and fuel the world! #mineralliteracy #yearinreview #geosciences

In UArizona’s globally ranked Mining & Geological Engineering (MGE) program, 26% of current students are female and 37% are minorities. Award-winning faculty include several dynamic women who are leading the charge to educate the next wave of mining professionals, while simultaneously conducting research to help make mining more responsible and sustainable for future generations.

🌟 Grateful for the privilege of my work, which affords me the opportunity to visit mines and gain invaluable insights into their operations. Today was particularly extraordinary as I had the chance to ascend to the top of a filter plant—an awe-inspiring experience! 🚀 Every visit to a mine is a reminder of how fortunate I am to be immersed in this dynamic industry, where every day presents new challenges and opportunities for learning. From understanding the intricacies of mining processes to witnessing cutting-edge technologies in action, each experience enriches my understanding and passion for what I do. Today's visit to the filter plant was nothing short of remarkable. Scaling new heights and gaining a bird's-eye view of the operation reinforced my appreciation for the scale and complexity of mining operations. It's moments like these that remind me why I love what I do—being able to explore, learn, and contribute to the advancement of the industry. As I reflect on today's adventure, I'm filled with gratitude for the opportunities my work brings and the incredible people I have the privilege to collaborate with along the way. Here's to many more enriching experiences and discoveries in the fascinating world of mining! 💼 #MiningIndustry #OperationsInsights #Gratitude #ProfessionalJourney #PassionForWork #MiningIndustry #MiningOperations #MiningTechnology #FilterPlant #MineVisit #IndustrialInsights #ProfessionalDevelopment #Gratitude #PassionForWork #CareerJourney #LearningOpportunities #IndustrialEngineering #MiningEngineering #OperationsManagement #WorkPassion #IndustryExperience #MiningCommunity #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalNetworking

I am pleased to share the condensed version of my talk with Michael Hudson of Southern Cross Gold. In this interview, we cover: ⛏ - Michael Hudson's 30+ year career in geology and exploration (00:20) 🗺 - Sunday Creek Project update (02:00) 🔎 - How Michael approaches drill targeting (03:19) 💻 - How Southern Cross Gold is using VRIFY's new AI tool to aid their exploration efforts (04:57) 📖- How to become a more informed investor in the mining industry (12:45) For some background on this series: Excited to announce the launch of "Rock Talk" 🚀 Navigating the mining industry can be intimidating for those new to the field. The language? Often too technical. The concepts? Confusing. Enter "Rock Talk" – a series designed to demystify the industry, one conversation at a time. Each week, I plan to sit with industry experts who break the jargon into bite-sized, easy-to-digest information. This series is an experiment. How long will it last? Time will tell. But for now, I'm beyond thankful to Michael for being my first guest (or, as I like to call him, my 'guinea pig'). Please share any feedback you have! I'm aiming to make this series as engaging and informative as possible. And yes, I have thick skin if it's not all praise. #mining #mineralexploration #gold #southerncrossgold

Very interesting article about DEI efforts made by the mining industry in recent years, and the gaps that still exist. While it's great to see those efforts, mining has a long way to go to match other industries' progress on diverse representation. Women fill only about 12% of C-suite positions, up only 1.6 percentage points since 2021. Tier 1 miners have increased on average 7% in female representation in their staff, but opportunities for improvement abound. It is important not to lose momentum in building a safe, diverse, and inclusive environment for everyone in the mining industry and in the global communities that support it. Numerous analyses show that diverse and inclusive companies perform financially better, have an edge in the competition for talent, and gain meaningful advantages in terms of safety, productivity, innovation, and leadership. #DEI #Mining #MiningIndustry
