Upskilling Geology And How To Combat Age Bias in Mining - with Tim Strong
In this episode we chat to Tim Strong, CEO of Golden Rim Resources, an ASX listed gold exploration company who are developing significant value by spearheading the next West African gold rush in its exciting flagship Kada Gold project in Guinea. Tim is a Cambourne School of Mines geology graduate who has worked and lived in many countries around the world but most of his work has been in Africa working with both junior and major mining companies. Leading Golden Rim Resources, he gives us an overview of the company and the projects they are developing. We also talk about age bias within the mining industry and the up-skilling of local African geologists which need to be improved. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many are drawn not just to the geological side of mining, but also to the business side of things. That's the beauty of a career in mining. You can come from any background or have any type of passion, and there will be a place in mining for you. There's a huge disconnect between academia and the student body, especially in geology. There seems to be a negative connotation towards mining, which can be seen as dirty and destructive. This image needs to change. Golden Rim resources is one of the legacy operators in West Africa and still operates in Burkina Faso. Guinea is now the flagship project. Qualifications are all very well, and can prove useful in certain situations, but the lack of them is never a barrier to growth and development in the mining space.
