Mining Minds

Join Mining Minds on location at the Women in Mining 2025 National Conference in San Antonio, Texas, as we sit down with two dynamic women shaping the future of mining—Kimberly Myhre and Alexia Carver. Sponsoring the trip were Arnold Machinery and Gold West Fire and Safety, this special episode dives deep into the real-world experiences of women at different stages in their mining careers. Kimberly, a chemical engineer with WSP and a passionate advocate for environmental responsibility in mining, shares how a catastrophic mine spill in her hometown sparked her career. She opens up about the cultural challenges she's faced on mine sites and why she remains committed to driving positive changes within the industry. Alexia, a bright up-and-coming metallurgist and UNR student, brings the perspective of the next generation of miners. She talks candidly about breaking into the industry, the realities of being a woman in mining, and what it will take for companies to retain young, diverse talent. From disc
