Women are projected to hold 50% of Canada's wealth by 2030 - so why aren't they investing in mining?

In this episode of On the Rocks, host Emily King sits down with Beth Borody, Founder & CEO of the Femina Collective and Mining Sector Lead for IRMA, to explore how women are disrupting traditional mining investment.

From the origin story of the Femina Collective during pandemic Zoom calls to the launch of their groundbreaking investment club in 2025, Beth shares her vision for transforming the industry through female leadership, responsible practices, and collaborative investment.

Discover how combining women's perspectives with IRMA standards could reshape mining's future and create more sustainable, profitable operations.

This isn't just about DEI - it's about building a new approach to mining that works better for everyone.

What happens to a mine site after closure? From underground canoe adventures to innovative water treatment facilities, the possibilities are endless! In this episode of On the Rocks, host Emily King sits down with Dr. Peter Whitbread-Abrutat, founder of Future Terrains International and co-author of "102 Things to Do with a Hole in the Ground," to explore creative approaches to mine reclamation worldwide.
