The year is 1987. As a university student, you have been accepted for vacational work by a company called WMC. You show up for your first day at work and you are told that "you have to leave, you cannot stay here". Why?
"Because you are a girl and girls don't work in mines". Does this seem a little far fetched? Well this is how Alex Atkins started her mining career.
In our discussion with Alex, we cover her journey in mining. From being a mine and exploration geologist, to a mining engineer in various roles, to now championing diversity in the mining industry. Throughout it all, she has been fuelled by her rebellious nature and social conscience...she has been a rebel with a cause.
Come join us and let's explore.
