S3E3: Mining for Tourists, with Lorna Shaw
How can a mine be the coolest tourist attraction?
Lorna Shaw - a connector among governments, communities, mine sites, and tourists - and I dive into how to make mining more understandable - including the value of opening a site up for a public tour.
Lorna shares how the industry should come more together to scale up the demystification of mining and the future of mining education through analogies from every day life.
Lorna draws on her background from companies (Newmont, Sumitomo, Kinross), government (Alaska state legislature and a U.S. senator), and trade associations (Council of Alaska Producers, Colorado Mining Association, Women's Mining Coalition, Alaska Miners Association) plus her degrees in business from the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
