Entering a New Super Cycle for Metals Without the Workforce to Maximize the Moment

Mr. McEwen will speak about the geopolitical tensions and trade sanctions that have disrupted global trade. As a result, countries as well as large multinationals are beginning to scramble for metals, something they haven’t thought about for a long time. The energy transformation is adding to the demand for secure and in many cases in-country sources of supply. Compounding our ability to scale up to meet this increased demand is the shortage of graduates, in the west, looking to work in exploration, mining, and processing. Our challenge is a bit of a paradox. What do we have to do to attract individuals to an industry out of favor with the general population but offers some of the highest-paying jobs in many countries?
