Prospecting Purpose

In this week’s episode of Prospecting Purpose, we’re joined by Dr. John Thompson, whose impressive 35-year mining track record includes names such as Cornell University, Teck Resources, the World Economic Forum, MineSense Technologies & the Canada Mining Innovation Council. Dr. Thompson walks us through the various aspects of ‘responsibility’ in the mining industry context, and explores the subjective nature of the term, calling for a common definition. We also unpack the emerging opportunities for the industry to become more responsible through things like technical innovation, collaboration, leadership vision and attracting the next generation to propel mining in a more sustainable direction.
