Mineral exploration is essential for the mining industry and the future of critical minerals in British Columbia. AME welcomes the BC Conservative Party and BC NDP's recognition of the need to streamline mining project permitting, which is vital for utilizing the province's resources. However, AME urges all political parties to emphasize the importance of greenfield exploration, where industrial activity has not taken place. By advocating for a comprehensive approach to mining that includes robust exploration initiatives, we can unlock British Columbia's mineral potential and ensure a sustainable future for the industry and its communities.   Read the full release here: https://lnkd.in/gWzXRBnv

Would you encourage your child to join the mining industry? Some see mining as an exciting, purpose-driven career, while others worry about its ability to attract fresh talent in a world with so many other options. With experienced professionals retiring and fewer young people choosing mining. How do we secure the future workforce to keep the industry moving forward? The answer might lie in how we present ourselves. Too often, mining is still seen through a traditional lens - hard hats, dusty boots, and remote camps. "It's a dirty industry". While that’s part of our reality, it’s far from the full picture. However, we know mining is incredibly innovative with AI-driven operations, green technology, and advanced automation. But are we telling that story to the outside world? Through my podcast, Dig Deep The Mining Podcast, I aim to educate the industry by sharing insights from mining leaders, showcasing success stories, and highlighting the exciting changes happening across the sector. We also share educational content across our platforms to inspire and inform both the current and next generation of mining professionals. Perhaps we need to do more to showcase the industry’s modern face. Highlighting its commitment to sustainability, the global opportunities it offers, and its vital role in the future of technology. Maybe this could inspire the next generation to see mining not as a relic of the past but as a career with purpose. What’s your take? Are we doing enough to change the narrative?
