participants experiences helped shape their careers.
S-IMEW is an amazing opportunity that presents the roles of a geologist and their impact in a way not seen in traditional geology classes. It gave me the opportunity to visit an underground mine, showing me with certainty that I could thrive in that environment, which lead me to continue my Master’s in an underground gold mine.
Above all else, my greatest take-away was the opportunity to connect with a diverse group of peers who share the same drive for geology and a curiosity to explore. No matter where you are across the country, you have a friend and an instant network.
Exploration Geologist, KoBold Metals
S-IMEW was very eye-opening for me. This experience inspired me to pursue an M.Sc. in Economic Geology at Laurentian University, which I completed in the spring of 2021. I am currently an Exploration Geologist with KoBold Metals on their Lithium team. My work focuses on project generation within North America, but I am involved in numerous other projects that take me around the world, including Asia, Australia, and Africa. S-IMEW was a great opportunity to network and meet fantastic people that I still keep in touch with today.
