Co-sponsored by Boston Consulting Group, the initiative aims to showcase the impact and contribution of women within the global mining industry and identify inspirational role models.
Nominations are open for women involved in the full array of resource sector roles: from mine to office; geologists to capital raisers; explorers to C-Suite/NED; finance to compliance and ESG to government/non-government agencies; from every level of seniority and from every corner of the mining globe.
Candidates can be nominated by their companies or colleagues or themselves, with nominations closing midnight UK time on June 30.
This year WIM won't be accepting self-nominations or family nominations for transparency and best practice governance reasons.
"The ‘100 Global Inspirational Women in Mining' publication is a living history of women working in the sector, celebrating how women have successfully addressed challenges, empowered others and forged rewarding careers in the sector," WIM managing director Alex Buck said.
The 100 most inspirational women will be selected by global peers, with the results due on November 19.
This will be the fourth edition, after editions in 2018, 2016 and 2013.
In 2018, 642 nominations were received with 24 Australian women making the final list, including Fortescue Metals Group CEO Elizabeth Gaines, Perseus Mining/Pilbara Minerals/Imdex director Sally-Anne Layman and South32 chief people and legal officer and company secretary Nicole Duncan.
Other high-profile global women to make the list included Barrick Gold's Catherine Raw and Newmont chair Noreen Doyle.
