As part of Mujer y Minería 2026, Novamine participated in an event organized by the Antofagasta Industrial Association, which brought together key stakeholders from the mining ecosystem around a common goal: advancing toward greater gender equity in the industry.Our General Manager, María Alejandra Giménez Uribe, took part in this space that combined networking 🤝, reflection, and recognition, highlighting the active role of women who are currently transforming mining across multiple areas: academia, entrepreneurship, the public sector, communities, and large companies.One of the key milestones of the event was the presentation of the Women & Mining Awards 🏆, which recognized career paths marked by leadership, commitment, and tangible results in terms of inclusion.The participation of public sector representatives reinforced the importance of continuing to coordinate efforts among institutions, companies, and communities to accelerate closing gaps and creating real opportunities.These types of initiatives not only highlight progress but also present a challenge: to continue building an industry where diversity is a strategic driver rather than an unmet goal.At NOVAMINE, we are convinced that a more inclusive mining industry is not only necessary but also essential for its sustainability and future development.📸 Swipe to see highlights from the event.
