Now there's proof that there are more and more females in mining. Take a look at this

Thanks to the support of many prominent companies, women are certainly part of the mining industry, with the female growth outweighing the males in the employment stakes (within QRC companies at least). This definitely has to make a point to everyone who thinks that females don't exist in mining. My boss at Downer EDI - a mining engineer - is female, as are many other successful mining engineers. So next time someone says women aren't or shouldn't be involved in the mining industry, at least you will have something to fire back at them. :)
About Me
- andy
- I'm like any other uni student. I like clubbing, parties with friends and surfing if I can get a chance. I grew up in Townsville and miss my great friends there, the strand and maggie, but I still get time to have fun in brissie. I'm studying Civil and Construction Engineering at QUT, and I'm finding it a lot more interesting than most people would think. I'm also doing a mining minor at UQ at the same time so that I can work in the mining industry. I hope to work on mine sites once I graduate, because I love the friendliness in small towns, and it's always more fun to brag about being involved in massive projects. Drop me an email at andrea.dale@connect.qut.edu.au if you want to know more :)
