Did you know that women in mining get paid 3x more than women in any other industry ? That is why more women should get into the mining industry. Ege Tekinbas shares global stats with us on how women are doing in the mining industry and she has categorised the research into: Redundancy, Reskilling, Skills Transfer from other Sectors & Skills Import. This research shows how the mining sector needs more than just mining engineers and there are spaces to be filled by women within the industry.

As I prepare for today’s panel discussion, I’m reflecting on the role of strategic foresight and future thinking. It’s not about predicting the future, but about being ready with the right tools and strategies to adapt to changes. In today’s mining industry, this forward-thinking approach is more important than ever. If you’re attending Electra Mining Africa and want to explore the role of foresight and future thinking, feel free to reach out.

Great panel discussion at the #Joburg_Indaba# reflecting on the past 20 years of the MPRDA. Here are some highlights: The MPRDA significantly transformed the South African mining landscape: it introduced the concept of state custodianship; unlocked prospecting and facilitated the inclusion of women on board and management levels of mining companies. Some shortcomings include the lack of implementation of the act; limited capacity within the DMRE and gaps in the law. In this regard, the DMRE is in the process of reviewing the MPRDA to fix those gaps. For the next 20 years - we need to unlock exploration; shorten the timeline for processing applications and create a competitive, stable and predictable framework.

I'd like to give you the human side to this brief interview! Women In Mining UK (WIM UK) do so much to support their volunteers and the wider community of women. Aymone Schendel waited around for me so we could do this recording. The minute we stopped she was hands on to pack things up in time to make it to the airport. I just want to give a sincere shout out to all the WIM UK volunteers for their commitment, kindness, and support, and especially to Aymone Schendel who is tireless and really quite irreplaceable. Women in Mining is a community of people who want the best for each other, and work endlessly to support each woman's advancement. Thank you. You can count on me as an ally too. For myself, this was day 5 of non-stop listening, thinking, hosting, moderating, engaging and under-eating for a range of reasons. I think you can tell by the state of my face (not to mention inability to string a sentence together (sorry Lucie Goulet!)) that I was exhausted! But I stand by my words. Mining is complex, and I love a challenge, which is what keeps me invested in it. What I didn't say is that I think positive disruption in mining means mainstreaming feminist values - greater inclusion, democracy, equity, compassion in governance and decision-making. The way I want to positively disrupt mining is to help others envisage and vivify a post-extractivist, contributory, and regenerative sector that is welcomed by local communities, leverages its expertise and connections to nature to enhance the environment, and that truly benefits nations as a whole and not just the elite. This is not just about advancing women - that is important. It's also about addressing racism, classism, patriarchy as a whole, etc. And for those who haven't studied feminism, please don't misunderstand; this is as much about benefiting any gender because empowered and equal women and queer people is good for men too. It really is about centering welfare, freedom, and unleashing the potential of each of us to be our best in a system that facilitates that. Perhaps this is one of the hardest sectors to achieve this, but we must try.

Julie Courtnage, MMP Executive Director, is featured in this week's Mining Weekly. We are all equally human, with our own insecurities, strengths, ideas, and experiences, and all of that is valid. A favourite reflection of mine that I use to bust out of a downer mood is “Take things seriously and hold them lightly”.
