Listen Later

In this episode recorded live at CERAWeek in Houston, Deirdra sits down with Pat Risner, President of South32’s Hermosa Project, to discuss the transformation of mining in North America.

Pat outlines how the Arizona-based project differs from traditional mining by utilizing a light touch design that requires 90% less water and creates a significantly smaller land footprint than industry standards. As the first mining project to be fast-tracked under the U.S.

Government’s FAST-41 permitting process, Hermosa is positioned to help close a projected 4-million tonne global zinc gap, all while becoming a first-of-its-kind domestic source for battery-grade manganese that will provide generational opportunities for the
local community.
