From exploration to restoration, she underscored the impactful contributions made by women in ensuring safe and sustainable mining operations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s celebrate the unsung heroes, the women who wield big axes alongside laptops, who negotiate contracts with grace and who envision a mining industry that thrives on diversity,\u201d she urged the women in mining at the conference.<br \/>The theme for the conference, she indicated \u201cencapsulates the entire mining journey from the thrill of exploration to the progress of restoration and who stands better to lead this change than the incredible women who defy convention, break barriers and redefine what it means to be a miner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Sakyi-Addo stressed the significance of restoration efforts in mining and the opportunities it presents for women to engage in the value chain and receive due recognition for their work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor our sisters in artisanal and small-scale mining, their quest isn\u2019t just about minerals it\u2019s also about uncovering sustainable pathways, minimizing environmental impacts and leaving no stone unturned,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Sakyi-Addo called on women in mining to seize the moment and lead the industry towards a more sustainable future. As women continue to redefine traditional roles in mining, their dedication to environmental preservation, safety protocols, and innovation stands out as a driving force behind the industry\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n<p>On her part, the special guest for the conference and Chief Executive Officer of Standard Chartered Bank Ghana, Mrs Mansa Nettey encouraged women to be ambitious, articulate their aspirations clearly, and pursue their dreams without fear.<\/p>\n<p>She pointed out that, \u201cas women, we sometimes wait to be asked, but I urge you to take the initiative and take the bull by the horn. You need to have an unwavering determination and sheer resilience to turn every new challenge into a fulfilling experience. Your career is in your hands and you have the power to mould it the way you want.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source:\u00a0<\/strong>www.ghanaweb.com<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President of Women in Mining (WIM) Ghana, Dr. Georgette Barnes Sakyi-Addo, has charged women working in the mining sector to lift their voices and advocate for sustainable mining practices.
