Amazing 2 days in Lima at the KP tailings forum where more than 60 people from all over the world got together to share their experience in geotechnical engineering and water management applied to tailings dams. Then off to 3700m for a site visit at a mine... Amazing to see the scale of copper operations!! All of this with a good bunch from SA and Namibia and a pinch of pisco and cheviche!

Knight Piésold Namibia, in collaboration with Osino Resources Corp. and Twin Hill Trust Fund, recently hosted an engaging #Groundwater and #Geology Workshop at Ebenhaeser Primary School in Karibib, Namibia. The Grade 6 and 7 learners were introduced to the fascinating world of geology and groundwater, gaining hands-on experience and knowledge about our natural resources. KP Hydrogeologist, Izelda Mbatha (Pr.Sci.Nat.), shared insights into the importance of groundwater, while Osino's team led the discussion on Namibia's rich geological landscape. As a token of their hard work and engagement, the learners were awarded certificates of completion at the end of the workshop. At Knight Piésold, we believe that shaping the future starts with empowering young minds through STEM education! #KnightPiesold #OsinoResources #STEMEducation #Groundwater #Geology #EmpoweringFutureGenerations #SustainableFuture #Namibia #CommunityEngagement #EngineeringExcellence #STEM #CSI #Investment
