SUMMARY:Lithium Potential in the UK
DESCRIPTION:The increase in the production of electric vehicles has caused the demand for lithium to soar. The Li supply\, dominated by a handful of producing counties\, is struggling to keep up. To mitigate supply risks for local manufacturers to and lower the global environmental impact of Li production numerous countries have started to investigate the potential for domestic supply. Exploration efforts in the UK are currently mainly focused on the Cornubian Batholith in Cornwall and Devon\, but what about other areas? \nDr. Robin Armstrong\, Mining Sector Leader at the Natural History Museum\, will assess the Li Potential of the UK. Using his skills including mineralogy\, geochemistry\, field mapping and sampling\, and geographical information systems\, Robin primarily studies volcanic arc related styles of mineralization such as porphyry copper deposits and epithermal gold deposits. However\, in recent years he has expanded his interests to include natural resources for the green economy and has worked on a range of Li deposits. \nDr. Armstrong will be presenting virtually.  You can attend this session with others in MinSouth at The Counting House at 50 Cornhill by registering at this LINK.  There is limited space in the room where the lecture will be held.  You can also attend virtually.  To find out the details to register virtually\, register at this LINK.

SUMMARY:SNAP - Diversity in Mining: An Indigenous Female’s Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Kari Lentowicz\, a First Nations women from the Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation in Northern Saskatchewan\, will be presenting this SNAP.  This has been arranged jointly with Women In Mining UK.   \nMining is an essential industry\, and the very success and acceptance of the mining industry is reliant on a diverse and inclusive workforce. So why are we then asking women and Indigenous peoples to change who they are to “fit in” to an industry that we acknowledge needs to change to grow and prosper?  Working in the mining industry shouldn’t be at the cost of changing cultural nuances\, loss of identity\, and contradicting values. Corporate culture has had an expectation for women and Indigenous people to adapt their way of doing things in order to meet corporate terms of success. Women and Indigenous people in Canada are often in entry-level positions and\, it seems challenging to some to change the existing culture of “doing it the way we’ve always done it” to a culture of awareness\, diversity\, inclusion\, and equity in all realms. And sadly\, the challenges and micro-aggressions present for minorities go unacknowledged. Awareness of all these shortcomings are necessary to transform the corporate culture to one that celebrates the differences of others. \n \nKair Lentowicz is a Jill-of-all-trades\,with 20 years of experience in the mining industry and currently runs her own consulting company. \nIn 2018\, Kari  started Diamonds in the Rough (DITR) – a non-profit dedicated to bringing awareness to diversity\, equity\, and inclusion of women in the mining industry using mine rescue as a vehicle to do so. That year\, she took the first all-female team to participate in an international competition in Russia – a country where it is still illegal for women to work underground. Her plan for DITR includes the training of an all-female indigenous mine rescue team that will compete at a National level for they are significantly underrepresented in this industry and visibility is needed to encourage more Indigenous men and women to seek out these non-traditional Mining roles. \nWith a science background and a love for everything emergency response\, her life goal is to build emergency response capacity in communities\, industries\, and on a personal level for minorities. She seeks to build respectful relationships of understanding between all people so we can succeed together. \nTickets to attend this event virtually are available by clicking this LINK
