In this episode, Mining Minds sit down with Paul Wilmot, a multi-generational miner and chemical engineer from East Ely, Nevada, who grew up playing hockey and later found his way to mining. We dive deep into the importance of revitalizing modern mining as a U.S. industry focus and break down natural progressions in mining methods, especially around sustainable practices. Paul shares insights on his unique path, learning from his dad, first experiences underground and as an electrician, and his observations on passion and purpose in mining today. We explore workforce structures, understanding the work that miners actually do, pushing mill throughput, investing in future modern mining, and the dog getting the finger!
