In the episode, we chat to Ricus Grimbeek, CEO of Trevali Mining Corp. A global zinc producer operating three revenue-generating mines focused on delivering sustainable shareholder value through transformative technology and ESG practices. Their property portfolio is focused and located in established mining jurisdictions of Canada, Burkina Faso, and Namibia Ricus is a mine engineer by background with over 30 years of industry experience in South Africa, Australia, and Canada. He tells us how he is leading a team that is building the world’s most sustainable underground mining company.   KEY TAKEAWAYS  It is possible to guarantee the safety of people who work within mining or live in mined areas. If we don't aim for the stars we are never going to reach them. Challenging goals stretch us and improve the industry as a whole. It is possible to protect the environment, while mining. For example, one of their mines gets 30% of its power from solar. Mentoring and coaching are powerful tools everyone should be using. The difference between the two is discussed in the podcast. Trevali plans to expand its mine by 86%. Trevali has developed digital tools and a hybrid working approach that enables them to plan the work to the hour and drop production costs from $1 to 67cents. Planning and scheduling enable you to get the most out of digital tools and the data it produces. The mine life has already been extended to 12 years and with a JV they believe that can become 20 years. Their Caribou, Canada multi-metal mine is using rapid oxidative leeching to treat ore and tailings and turn them into metal. The initial results of oxidative leeching are good. The technique will result in the production of saleable gold. Putting tailings underground shrinks the mine´s footprint and reduces water usage. Creating a safe workspace where people can speak up and be themselves automatically creates an inclusive and diverse workforce.  BEST MOMENTS ‘I took the role…to create the most sustainable mining company. I know that is bold. But if you don't aim for the stars you will never reach them. ´ ‘You can use AI to monitor high-risk areas and improve safety.’ ‘You can´t bolt sustainability onto your business. It has to be at the core of how you design.’   EPISODE RESOURCES LinkedIn Ricus Grimbeek: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/ricus-grimbeekWebsite: https://trevali.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/trevaliTwitter: https://twitter.com/trevaliFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TrevaliMining   VALUABLE RESOURCES Email: rob@mining-international.org  Website: https://www.mining-international.org/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/MiningRobTyson  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DigDeepTheMiningPodcast/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theminingpodcast/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DigDeepTheMiningPodcast/videos   ABOUT THE HOST Rob Tyson is an established recruiter in the mining and quarrying sector and decided to produce the “Dig Deep” The Mining Podcast to provide valuable and informative content around the mining industry.

How Sustainability And Digital Tools Are Reducing Production Costs With Ricus Grimbeek

Listen to this episode where we learn more about Trevali’s President and CEO Ricus Grimbeek, his passion for safety and why it’s not just about ticking boxes, but creating performance.

049 - Building the world’s most sustainable mining company with Trevali CEO Ricus Grimbeek

In today’s podcast we interview Ricus Grimbeek, President and CEO at Trevali Mining Corporation, a base metals company with four mines in Peru, Canada, Namibia and Burkina Faso.  Ricus is an experienced mining executive with nearly 30 years experience in the resource sector working in Australia, South Africa and Canada during his career. During this interview we chat how Trevali Mining is developing as a company and whats happening in the zinc market with the price of zinc decreasing. We also cover how technology is playing its part in the company and the realities of climate change on the industry. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Ricus began as a coal miner before breaking away to study mining in South Africa. He also spent a few years in corporate functions. This varied background has given him a rare insight into the many facets of the mining industry. Safety, health and sustainability are of paramount importance to Ricus and Trevali. In his opinion, safety should be guaranteed for all employees and the communities in 3which they operate. Ricus recommends a full practical knowledge of the mining business from the ground up, to anyone who wishes to enter the industry, including aspiring executives. The best advice Ricus offers to those wishing to jump from operations to corporate, is not to do it too early. Not only will the personal upheaval be too much, but it’s good to get as much on-the-job knowledge as possible. Trevali is one of the top zinc producers in the world. Ricus classifies this as one of the greenest metals, and one that will be more important in the future. Climate change has had long and short term impacts around the world. Places that are seeing water supply under threat are no longer as attractive to the industry, as it is such a key component in operations. Mining needs to lead by example, and show that good can come from their operations, whereas public perception may lead many to believe that it is environmentally detrimental. Processes such as underground mining can be beneficial.  .BEST MOMENTS ‘From a young age I’ve been passionate about sustainability’ ‘You can’t tell governments and communities what to do. You have to be really good at listening’ ‘Don’t progress too early in your career’ ‘We’re not starting from ground zero’ ‘As an industry we need to take a step back’ ‘I’m very excited about what’s possible' VALUABLE RESOURCES   Dig Deep – The Mining Podcast on iTunes Ricus Grimbeek LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ricus-grimbeek-41a916b/?originalSubdomain=ca Ricus is going to be speaking at the upcoming Mines and Money Conference from 25th -27th November and as Dig Deep The Mining Podcast is a partner to this event, then as a subscriber, you can take advantage of 25% discount by using the code DIG25 at check out.
