Kim Morrison
Tailings management is one of the mining industry's most important responsibilities, and this lecture is a chance to see just how seriously the industry takes it.
Kim Morrison will highlight the real progress being made, including:
- How the industry has turned hard lessons from past failures into stronger risk management and long-term accountability
- The rise of rigorous governance standards, including the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM) and the Global Tailings Management Institute (GTMI), and how they're driving best-in-class practice across the industry
- How mining companies are rising to meet increasingly complex engineering challenges, from taller dams to larger impoundments, while holding themselves to a standard of zero harm
- Why stewardship and long-term thinking are now built into how the industry approaches tailings management and closure
This is a great opportunity to see the mining industry's commitment to environmental responsibility in action, whether you work in the industry, study its history, or simply care about its future.
