Great video and article out this week on how transformational culture change can be successfully achieved within a fully operational mining site and wider organisational structure, with the support of the FidesOak flagship programme, with a robust safety culture being a key and critical output. #SafetyFirst #FTMining #FTMiningSummit #FTLive #FTMiningConference #HighPerformingTeam #CultureChange #CultureTransformation #HighPerformingCulture

You won't be surprised to find me agreeing wholeheartedly with Jamie Strauss that communication is key to getting a social license. Check out his great interview with Proactive. But there is more to be said... I hear a lot of talk about improving communication at mining conferences, including Resourcing Tomorrow. The talking points can be summarised as... We need... 1. Better transparency 2. Better use of technology 3. Communicate in ways that resonate with the target audience, especially the next generation, and lean into environmental concerns. 4. To 'get back control' of the narrative. We need to 'educate people' about how important mining is for their lives. # 1-3 are correct but face an enormous hurdle in the Advocacy Paradox. That is to say, mining entities have a bad rep. No matter how transparent and age-appropriate their content is, anything with their brand won't be trusted. And # 4 is simply wrong and also subject to the Advocacy Paradox. Instead, we should engage hostile narratives using strategic empathy. Bottom line: None of the standard recommendations regarding communication work at a neurological level. Until they do, we'll get more Serbias and Panamas. Andrew Thake

Faraday Copper Corp. (TSX: FDY) (OTCQX: CPPKF) has discovered a high-grade mineralized zone called the Banjo breccia at its Copper Creek Project in Arizona, U.S.A. Highlights: * 117.90 m of 1.01% copper within 269.65 m of 0.64% copper. * 15.89 m of 2.15% copper within the same interval of 117.90 metres. * 88.16 m of 0.39% copper. According to the company, drilling at American Eagle keeps hitting the mark, revealing promising mineralization. Next up: further exploration to map out and grow these high-grade zones.

Donald Lekgenge was part of a dialogue session focused on advancing the future of mining towards smart, safe, and sustainable practices hosted by Wits Mining Institute, University of the Witwatersrand. Exploring the untapped potential of Mining Software is crucial in leveraging Operational Technology and Data Analytics for greater efficiency and safety in mining operations. Embracing innovation in this area not only enhances productivity but also creates great value for the organization. Looking forward to engaging in discussions and collaborative efforts to drive positive change in the mining industry. #MiningSoftware #Mineplaning #Geology #TotalMineOptimization

Breakfast is usually my time with the Weekend FT, but how can you pass up a chance to sit between these two mining powerhouses? And the opportunity to talk ‘people’ and how to help them come with you on big journeys. These two gurus talked all about getting people to stay the course; how tennis is as much a mind game as it is a performative sport; and how sailing can produce high performing teams with seconds on the line… yeah, I’m not a fan of sailing but the analogy was brilliant! Meet Paul Moynagh, CEO of OpsKit, a purpose driven solution to nudge people in the right direction, and Jon W., the advisor you didn’t know you needed until he arrives and brings common sense solutions to complex problems - two guys who have spent a lifetime helping teams be better together. Reminded me of my favourite phrase – nothing moves until people move. Both are working with clients to do just that! And both are walking battery packs to energize any conversation, team and job. Seriously, one chat with these two and you feel like you can solve all the problems in the world. Well, maybe not all, but a lot! Good on ya guys for continuing to lead the way! What a pleasure to spend a morning chatting with you two. And thanks to the gang at #bonjourbrioche Toronto for looking after us so well! #highperformance #teams #change #results #outcomes #mining #miningguys #resources #breakfastwithchampions

⛏ Rhys Davies, VP Exploration ⛏ 🌟 documents Laramide's investment thesis in this video 🎤 produced by Crux Investor . Highlights include a description of two flagship, globally significant, near-term uranium projects: 50 mLb Churchrock ISR in New Mexico, and 50 mLb Westmoreland low-risk, shallow uranium deposit in Queensland, Australia. Two drill rigs are currently working in Westmoreland for a 12,000 meter (for 100+ drill holes) program across multiple targets 🎯 seeking to expand the existing resources towards an updated mineral resource estimate. 👀 👀 #uranium #uraniummining #uraniumAustralia #uraniumUSA #cleanenergy $LAM https://lnkd.in/gytiwVdk

Recently, during a catch-up with a colleague, I found myself sharing some of the frustrations I've encountered in the mining industry. Specifically, I discussed the potential for vast improvements in efficiency and benefits, and the challenge of encouraging others to envision and embrace change. My colleague recommended watching a Disney short titled "Piper," and its message resonated with me. I wanted to share this reflection with you all because "Piper" beautifully illustrates how we often overlook simpler, more efficient ways of doing things simply because we're accustomed to "how it's always been done." This short film serves as a metaphor for innovation and resilience in the face of tradition. It reminds us that breaking away from the pack to explore new methods can lead to efficiency and success, even if the path seems daunting at first. It's a call to action for us to be open to change and willing to see beyond the conventional. At times, it may be hard to maintain the vision to explore, innovate, and lead, but if we can persevere, a future where efficiency and progress are at the forefront can be unlocked. Because, in the end, efficiency wins out. We just need to be bold enough to take the first step away from the familiar. #Piper #Innovation #Strategy #Change #Learning #Shorts
