Meeting a great new group of cohorts made me appreciate the unique people in geology and mineral exploration. This made me want to continue working in the industry knowing the people I am working with are intelligent, adventurous, well rounded and appreciate the outdoors. Also, going underground in Quebec and seeing large bornite mineralization with silver veins come out of the ground made me keep in mineral exploration.

Looking back on it, the best part of S-IMEW was in building friendships and trusted connections with a cohort of high-potential peers that have since gone on to build some really interesting careers. In that sense, S-IMEW has become an important accelerator of talent in the industry.

S-IMEW not only solidified my interest in mineral exploration and mining but helped mould it into my passion and career. We were exposed to many different aspects of the mining world including both scientific research and industry. The workshop gave me an understanding of how truly diverse the sector is. I also made many contacts, and more importantly friends who I still have to this day

The S-IMEW organizers and PDAC staff were fantastic, the guest speakers were top-notch, and the students all shared a common bond – which made for a unique and memorable experience. Michael Doggett’s talk on Mineral Economics helped redefine my career path, as I transitioned from exploration to Equity Research following the workshop. I then obtained an MBA and went on to work for an industry-leading financial modeling training company. In 2021 I started my own firm which specializes in all things financial modeling, including the building and ongoing maintenance of corporate financial models.

S-IMEW to me was like summer camp for geologists. There are few things more fun than running around exploring the bush, underground mines and board rooms with a diverse group of young enthusiastic geologists. Rubbing shoulders with some heavy hitters in the junior and major mining space was also a bonus. S-IMEW was also a great crash course on what to expect working in the junior mining space. This was invaluable knowledge at the time as I began an MSc program in collaboration with a junior mining company shortly after the trip.
