My hope is that the Earth Science Leadership Team and community can work together to provide more technical and mentoring support to geologists actively working in the mining and related industries – create more engagement between the mining industry, IOM3, other professional institutions and school and university earth science teachers, lecturers and departments – and promote and improve the public perception of mining and geology.
