Through a series of reports across 2020, we will be exploring the key themes of diversity, technology and sustainability and how a focus on these issues can drive significant long-term benefit for the mining industry. 

Our first report 'The Future of Mining | Diversity' will explore the current realities of mining companies' commitment to pursuing diversity of workforce through quotas and training programmes but also look to what future skills and initiatives are viewed as the most powerful drivers to achieving greater diversity in the industry. The research and report will also have a specific focus on women in the sector. 

The ability for the research to make a positive impact and add most value will be strongly aligned to the size and depth of the respondent audience to the initial survey. We, therefore, encourage all of our readers in the mining sector to participate and complete our five-minute online survey.

The survey can be found here

We look forward to your input and launching this much-needed research in 2020.

The research is being supported by the following organisations:
