In the summer of 2009, Women in Mining Canada launched thier first major research project entitled; RAMP-UP: A Study on the Status of Women in Canada’s Minerals and Metals Sector.  The purpose of the study was to establish a clearer picture on the current status of women in the minerals exploration and mining industry and the variances in perception that may exist between Academia, Employers and Employees focused on gender.  The concept of the study generated a tremendous amount of support from leading industry organizations and companies.   

 

RAMP-UP research  findings were officially released at the WIM Canada International Reception at the PDAC 2010.
