Geopolitical tensions and trade sanctions have disrupted global trade. As a result, countries as well as large multinational companies are beginning to scramble for metals. The energy transformation is adding to the demand for secure, and in many cases, in-country sources of supply.

How can we attract individuals to this industry?

Hecla has been mining for more than 130 years making innovations both large and small. The most recent large innovation manages the seismicity at the United States’ deepest underground mine with a new patent-pending mining method called Underhand Closed Bench. As a result, the 80-year-old Lucky Friday mine is mining the most tons and will produce the most silver ounces in its history. This presentation will tell how Hecla approaches innovation and how the new method works.

A career in mining could mean you become a professor. Meet Patrick Taylor, Extractive Metallurgy professor at Colorado School of Mines. His advice to fresh mining students is "You got to observe everything. Be curious, show that you're a good engineer and a good colleague. And I think if you're doing those things, you can be very successful in the industry. The mining industry is essential to the United States, and good engineers are essential to the mining industry."

Hear from Alma Feldpausch, a principal toxicologist and risk assessor in the mining industry.
