An International Women’s Day Special with the Women of Mining

In this special International Women’s Day edition of the Mining and Minerals Show, host Deirdra Tindale sits down with three trailblazing leaders who are transforming the mining landscape from the ground up. This episode explores how inclusivity, innovative investment models, and deep environmental stewardship are driving the next generation of the industry.

We start off with designing for inclusion with Alicia Woods Alicia Woods, CEO of Covergalls Inc. She shares her journey from the underground drifts of Sudbury to the Dragon’s Den. Alicia discusses the “wake-up call” that led her to create high-performance workwear designed specifically for women, the importance of physical workspace inclusivity, and how her company is leading the way in sustainable manufacturing and upcycling.

Next, we discuss accessible mining with Beth Borody Beth Borody, CEO of Maven Exploration. She introduces Canada’s first fully female-founded exploration company. Beth challenges the traditional mining model, discussing the power of the female investor, the importance of “risk-aware” long-term thinking, and Maven’s mission to make mining ownership accessible to everyday Canadians.

Finally, we explore the environment with Kati McCartney Kati McCartney, COO of Blue Heron Environmental. She discusses the evolving world of environmental consultancy and regulatory compliance. From “values mapping” with Indigenous communities to the complexities of reprocessing waste tailings, Kati explains why environmental stewardship is no longer a “checkbox” exercise but a core pillar of a project’s success and its social license to operate.

Tune in as we celebrate International Women’s Day and discover how these leaders are innovating to ensure a stronger, more sustainable mining ecosystem.
