The Gold Industry Group (GIG) and Deloitte annual leadership breakfast opened this year’s Diggers and Dealers Mining Forum second day with a power hour, interactive discussion on the importance of strong leadership and Environment, Safety, and Governance (ESG) to more than 100 attendees at the WA School of Mines Graduate Hall.
GIG Director Andrea Maxey welcomed the delegates to the event with an opening invite to watch the success of the GIG’s recent tour of the Goldfields with West Coast Fever.
This year’s 30th Diggers & Dealers Mining Forum was hailed one of the biggest yet, attracting more than 2500 delegates to hear mining’s growth stories in Kalgoorlie-Boulder, despite having no overseas visitors for the second year running.
Attendance could have been greater at the nation’s largest mining forum with Western Australia having no event restrictions, however due to COVID-19 lockdowns over east preventing many from traveling to the State, several companies presented virtually as thousands streamed the event online.
The Gold Industry Group and Deloitte will hold their annual breakfast event at Diggers & Dealers on 13 October, where industry leaders will share their insights on the developments in decarbonisation led by Australia’s mining sector.
This year’s speakers include Northern Star Resources Non-Executive Director Mary Hackett, IGO Head of Corporate Affairs and Company Secretary Joanne McDonald, Deloitte Director Sustainability and Climate Change Services Michael Wood, and Pilbara Minerals Limited Chief Operations Officer Dale Henderson.
We recently spoke to James Koerting, Energy Manager at Gold Fields, about his visionary mission to create the $113 million Hybrid Renewable Energy Microgrid Project at Agnew Gold Mine, ahead of him presenting the project virtually at this year’s Energy & Mines Summit.
