"I started working at Diavik shortly after it started production in 2005.... Today, I am proud to have been an important contributor to the successful mining project at Diavik as it moves towards the end of operations in 2026 and enters closure," Kari, principal resource geologist at Diavik, says. "Over the years, there have been many opportunities to improve the way we do things and solve problems. Whenever I can, I encourage maximising the value of the ore we extract. This approach takes persistence, but this is truly sustainable mining. Women are underrepresented in technical fields. It is something I have seen throughout my career. To address it, the simple answer is more women need to be hired in technical roles." 👉 Read about some of the incredible women in science at Rio Tinto : https://lnkd.in/eCcQXUD2
