Diversity is more than a value statement. It is a driver of safer workplaces, stronger decision-making, and positive exploration outcomes. Yet junior companies often face unique challenges: small teams, limited resources, and rapid project timelines that can leave equity and inclusion overlooked. This session aims to recognize who might be missing in your workforce and workplace culture, and introduces straightforward tools to help junior exploration companies build more inclusive practices. Attendees will leave with tangible strategies for recognizing blind spots, fostering allyship, and creating exploration teams that reflect the full spectrum of talent and perspectives needed to shape the future of mining.
