]]> Mining and the Circular Economy (Alan Young) Sympact Advisory 01:04:04 In this week’s episode, we’re joined by Alan Young, a global circular economy expert with a contagious passion for accelerating our transformation to a zero-waste, low-carbon future. Alan has held leadership positions with organizations such as the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), the Circular Economy Leadership Coalition, the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA) and the Council of Canadian Academies Expert Panel on Circular Economy. In our chat, we discuss what it takes to close the loop on mineral and metal supply chains, the innovative business models to get us there and the importance of collectively differentiating between competitive and pre-competitive factors. Alan advocates for mine sites to be re-positioned at the centre of the value chain and speaks to how ESG principles will shape the future of the industry’s circular operations.

(Kurt House, PhD) Sympact Advisory 00:59:20 In this week’s episode, we’re joined by Kurt House, co-founder and CEO of Kobold Metals and a professor at Stanford University. A serial entrepreneur for over a decade now, he’s leading the company armed with experiences ranging from his Harvard PhD, MIT post-doc and Big 3 management consulting too. Kurt challenges the boundaries between the natural resources and technology sectors, offering a refreshing take on the future of heavy industry. In this episode, we chat about harnessing digitalization, and AI in particular, to access the metals and minerals necessary to drive the green revolution, to mitigate global warming and take serious climate action. A highly knowledgable and intellectual co-host, Kurt explains the intricacies of a clean energy transition in the short-term to enable circular economy models in the long-term, and what exactly his company is doing to fast track this objective.

]]> Shifting from Closure to Transition (Peter Whitbread-Abrutat, PhD) Sympact Advisory 00:40:00 In this week’s episode, we’re joined by Peter Whitbread-Abrutat, an environmental and mine closure specialist with over 25 years of diverse experience in natural resources management and sustainable development. As CEO of Future Terrains (a UK-based social enterprise), Pete chats with us about the importance of building ecological integrity and enhancing community wellbeing in post-mining areas. We discuss the difference between “mine closure” and “mine transition”, and why a move to the latter is imperative. Pete explains his holistic approach to mining, defining a mine as simply a piece in a larger jigsaw of economic, social, environmental, and political factors. His call to action is to make this mindset shift common practice, and include a far broader range of stakeholders in the mine transition process, in order to craft sustainble post-mining future terrains the world over!

]]> What is “Responsible” Mining? (John Thompson, PhD)​ Sympact Advisory 00:31:00 In this week’s episode of Prospecting Purpose, we’re joined by Dr. John Thompson, whose impressive 35-year mining track record includes names such as Cornell University, Teck Resources, the World Economic Forum, MineSense Technologies & the Canada Mining Innovation Council. Dr. Thompson walks us through the various aspects of ‘responsibility’ in the mining industry context, and explores the subjective nature of the term, calling for a common definition. We also unpack the emerging opportunities for the industry to become more responsible through things like technical innovation, collaboration, leadership vision and attracting the next generation to propel mining in a more sustainable direction.
