Women in Mining

Women in Mining group offers an opportunity for women to meet other women who are working in, or who are associated with, the mineral exploration and mining industry.

Women in Mining, Vancouver Branch, holds informal "brown bag lunch" meetings on the second Thursday of each month often featuring a special speaker. WIM Vancouver events are featured on this page and also on the MABC website calendar.

The Women in Mining (WIM) International online community portal, dedicated to all women in the natural resources sector, provides women with networking opportunities, business synergies, information on furthering their education, job opportunities, a place to exchange views and find service providers, as well as much more. The portal focuses on two main pillars: information and business opportunities.
