Australia's mining sector has long relied on a 'learning by doing' strategy, but is it costing us our environment? This insightful piece authored by Griffith University’s Professor Matthew Currell and Flinders University’s Professor Adrian Werner, explores the environmental impacts of our large-scale mining operations and questions the effectiveness of our current approach. #Mining #Environment #Sustainability #EnvironmentalEngineering #GriffithUniveristy @Griffith Sciences https://lnkd.in/dAhsnJng

#CMHF Member Spotlight: Rob McEwen. Robert McEwen, a name synonymous with innovation in the Canadian mining sector, revolutionized the industry by converting Goldcorp Inc. from a modest holding company into a global mining behemoth. His ingenious initiative, the “Goldcorp Challenge,” leveraged crowdsourcing before it was a buzzword, inviting the world to pinpoint the next big gold deposit using decades of the company’s data. This bold strategy unearthed $6 billion worth of gold, redefining mining exploration and propelling Goldcorp to the forefront of the industry. McEwen didn't stop there; he went on to establish McEwen Mining Inc., further cementing his legacy as a mining entrepreneur and visionary corporate strategist. Beyond his business acumen, McEwen's philanthropic efforts have made significant impacts, donating over $50 million to healthcare, education, and community projects. His commitment to fostering excellence and innovation extends from the mining shafts to societal pillars, including healthcare facilities and educational institutions. Inspired by Robert McEwen's contributions? Know someone who embodies similar qualities of leadership, innovation, and philanthropy in mining?

So...let's talk about the title of this article. Forget the content for now. The title "Do we really need more women in the boardroom? A bottom-up approach may provide more benefit for women" is a narrative that we must stop perpetuating. It's both, it's all! By 2022, women held 17.6% of director positions within top-500 listed mining companies, up from 4.9% in 2012. [See data from White & Case LLP, ARCH Emerging Markets Partners Limited and Women In Mining UK (WIM UK): https://lnkd.in/euZ6CmpF] On the panel, it was stated that one of the problems with women in mining groups is that they do not focus on women at grassroots, entry level. However, it is the women in mining groups, particularly in the Global South, that are taking on deep rooted systemic challenges that women and communities face of gender-transformation on the ground. Context is key! I encourage mining companies to stop making it an either/or issue and to make it a mining issue. Let's stop questioning whether we need more women and address the disparities in numbers--in number of women; in number of new entrants; in number of diverse thinking. #womeninmining #wimuk https://lnkd.in/eRvUDMpk

Erica Lee Garcia, P. Eng. hosts 'Moving Mining into the Future with the Spirit of Entrepreneurship', with Kari Lentowicz, a First Nations woman and mine rescue professional, sharing her experiences and identity. Kari discusses the question, 'Who Are You', and highlights the importance of acknowledging ancestral lands.   The Power of Meaningful Land Acknowledgement: A meaningful land acknowledgement involves self-reflection and considering four main attributes: naming the territories, explaining the importance of acknowledging indigenous people, reflecting on the impact of the gathering or event, and addressing the impact through consultation, education, and support for indigenous organizations and communities. It's crucial to approach this from a place of empowerment rather than guilt.   Empowering Indigenous Voices in the Mining Industry:  Kari discusses the importance of understanding indigenous culture and history, particularly in relation to the mining industry. They emphasize the need for accurate representation and education, as well as supporting indigenous businesses and artists. Kari is the managing director of Diamonds in the Rough Emergency Rescue Organization, Inc., which aims to empower indigenous women in the mining industry by creating the first all-female indigenous team from Canada for an international mine rescue competition.   Watch Kari Lentowicz’s talk to learn more! https://lnkd.in/gTueCkxc   #artemismember #womeninminingtrailblazers #womentransformingmining #womenentrepreneursinmining #womenwhominedifferent
