Interesting political moves. These are long-term initiatives. It will take at least one decade to start to see the benefits. Time will tell if this renewed political support is sustained over time.
Last night, the Senate unanimously passed the bipartisan Mining Schools Act. This legislation will help increase mining school’s institutional capabilities to recruit and train students pursuing careers in geology, engineering, and energy development. The next generation of our mining workforce will be at the forefront in securing our supply chains with responsibly produced minerals essential to our economic, national, and energy security. The bill is complemented by the equally bipartisan H.R. 2685 introduced by Representative’s Burgess Owens and Jim Costa. To highlight the severity of the challenge: In 2020, there were 327 degrees awarded at U.S. mining and mineral engineering schools, a 39% drop in the number of graduates in the U.S. since 2016. Compare this to China, which has 44 mining schools graduating more than 5,000 students annually. Thank you Energy and Natural Resources Committee Chairman Manchin and Ranking Member Barrasso for your leadership and continued work to strengthen training and workforce opportunities. https://lnkd.in/g__8SZ4T

🌟 Building the Future of Mining with Skilled Talent🌟 🎯 The #miningsector is at a pivotal juncture, facing a critical need for #skilled and #trainedprofessionals. As technological advancements and #economicshifts reshape the industry, the importance of a robust, skilled workforce cannot be overstated. 🔹 Addressing Talent Shortages: The mining industry globally is experiencing significant #talentshortages. In countries like Australia and the U.S., the demand for #miningengineers, #geologists, and other key roles far exceeds the supply. This gap is projected to widen, with thousands of new workers needed in the coming years to meet operational demands and drive future projects. 🔹 Economic and Technological Shifts: Advances in #technology, such as #automation and #dataanalytics, are transforming mining operations, making the need for a technologically adept workforce even more pressing. Companies are focusing on #reskilling and #upskilling their current employees to adapt to these changes, with nearly half of the workforce requiring new skills within the next few years. 🔹 Global Competition and Collaboration: The competitive global #labormarket adds another layer of complexity. Countries worldwide are investing heavily in their mining sectors, and collaborative efforts between #government, #industry, and #educationalinstitutions are essential to cultivate the necessary talent pool. 🔹 Gender Diversity and Inclusion: Enhancing #diversity within the #mining #workforce is also crucial. Despite its importance, the sector remains one of the lowest in terms of #femaleparticipation. Addressing this imbalance through #inclusivepolicies and flexible working conditions can help attract and retain a more diverse talent pool. 🔹The passage of the #MiningSchoolsAct is a significant step towards addressing these challenges, ensuring that our #educationalinstitutions can better prepare the next generation of #miningprofessionals. 🔹 Read more ⬇️ #MiningFuture #WorkforceDevelopment #SustainableMining #Tethys #InnovationInMining #MiningEducation #SkilledWorkforce #DiversityInMining #EconomicGrowth

This is critical in righting this wrong that has been occurring for a generation or more. Our economic competor(s) and military adversaries have clearly been busy. I won’t profess to know how these adversaries do their business with regard to mining per se, but I do know that we have been busy defeating ourselves in this one. There’s still time and legislation and/or continued focus like this is a step in the only direction we can go.

Title: "Drilling and Blasting Statistics: Impressive Numbers in Mining" Hello LinkedIn community! Today, I want to focus on drilling and blasting processes, which play a vital role in the mining industry. Here are some interesting statistics: Worldwide Mining Production: Drilling and blasting are fundamental processes in the mining sector worldwide. In 2021, approximately 70% of global mining production was achieved through drilling and blasting methods. Explosive Power: Explosives used in large-scale blasting operations are often equipped with tons of explosive charge. The amount of explosives used in a blasting operation can typically impact millions of tons of rock. Excavation Efficiency: Drilling and blasting contribute significantly to the efficiency of mining operations. Proper drilling and blasting techniques can lead to the more efficient extraction of mineral reserves. Safety Statistics: Safety measures in the mining industry are crucial, including in drilling and blasting operations. A well-planned and managed blasting operation can be effective in preventing workplace accidents. These statistics underscore the importance and impact of drilling and blasting in the mining industry. The efficiency and safety of these processes are critical for the sustainability of the industry. #MiningEngineering #DrillingBlasting #Mining #Sustainability

Today, 5 new Mining Engineers walked across the stage at Montana Technological University and received their diplomas. This achievement by these remarkable students represents a small but important step in our mission to prepare students to lead the global mining industry while providing a transformative student experience that ensures graduates possess practical, real-world skillsets, and are prepared to contribute to the modern mining industry. Yesterday, CNBC published an excellent report with our friends at Rio Tinto on the worker shortage across the mining industry that highlights the need for miners at all levels, from front-line operators to technical staff and management. As the video shows, an engineer in #ModernMining must be ready to use both traditional techniques and modern methods to sustainably produce the critical materials our society needs. An analyst notes in the video that the industry is facing a shortage of experienced professionals who are capable of building and running large-scale complex operations. Montana Tech - Mining Engineering is committed to providing graduates who are ready to hit the ground running, like these 5 new engineers and Montana Tech Alum and Managing Director of Rio Tinto Kennecott, Nathan Foster (BS 2005) who is interviewed as part of the report.
