In this interview, James Siddorn, President of SRK Canada and Executive Chair for North America, discusses Ontario's mining landscape, the rising demand for tailings management, the role of AI, and the importance of collaboration to advance the industry.
At SRK, we conduct projects that require multi-office solutions, whether that be due to geographical or disciplinary variation. The world’s green transition presents a unique opportunity for the mining sector to come together and promote the industry. However, I think we are missing an opportunity due to a lack of collaboration. When you look at other industries facing similar challenges there is a spirit of community and collaboration, something which the mining industry could engage in more often. Certain companies have institutional rivalries where they are unwilling to share information, and this impacts the sector’s relationship with the public as well as its overall progress.
