👋 Meet Gifty Omari-Mensah, Newmont's first female non-expatriate Senior Scheduling Engineer.  In her newly appointed role, Gifty is not only the first female non-expatriate but also the first female manager with Ahafo South's Subika Underground mine in Ghana! Gifty Mariam Omari-Mensah's journey is truly inspiring. As a female mining engineer, she has faced several challenges throughout her career with unwavering determination and resilience. Since joining Newmont at our Ahafo operation in Ghana, Gifty has showcased her expertise, including contributing to the drill and blast designs for the Subika Underground operation and implementing the sublevel shrinkage mining method as a Medium-Term Planning Engineer. And her impact extends far beyond her engineering role at Newmont. Fondly known as “Auntie” to many, she serves as a mentor and advocate for girls and women, tirelessly championing their rights and empowerment.    Join us in celebrating women in mining and congratulate Gifty on her new role by leaving a 👏 in the comments below. #Newmont #GoldMining #CopperMining #WomenInMining

On 23rd May, 2024 Newmont Ghana, Ahafo South Mine in collaboration with the Women and Allies (W&A) Business Resource Group embarked on a trip dubbed "Read to Inspire" to the Ahafo Kenyasi No_1 Methodist and Roman Catholic Basic schools. This initiative aimed at establishing rapport, friendship and providing guidance specifically tailored towards young females to consider STEM courses in their fields of study and career choices. During the session, remarkable females shared their insights, experiences and opportunities for females in STEM to empower and inspire the students to take their studies serious. We also delivered some items such as pens, books, school bags, drinks, biscuits, drawing and writing aids, etc, to support their studies. I firmly believe that learning from these experiences is valuable and will help us to embrace our own challenges navigating through this field. I'll extend my utmost gratitude to the Leadership, the entire team and sponsors of the W&A group for this initiative and the opportunity to interact with some of the students.

Attending the "Exploration to Restoration: Women's Contributions to Sustainable Mining & Value Chain Practices" conference, organized by Women in Mining, was an inspiring experience! 🌟 The discussions highlighted the crucial roles women play in every stage of mining, from exploration to restoration. I was particularly impressed by the innovative approaches and sustainable practices shared by the speakers. Their insights into how we can make the mining industry more environmentally friendly and socially responsible were truly enlightening. It was empowering to connect with so many passionate professionals dedicated to advancing sustainability in mining. Together, we are paving the way for a more equitable and sustainable future in the industry. Thank you to the WIM President Georgette B. Sakyi-Addo all the organizers especially Emma Thompson-Appiah, speakers Rosemary Oppong Kwasie,Barbara Owusu-Konadu, chairperson Adiki Ayitevie APR and all attendees for such a transformative event. Let’s continue to drive change and make a positive impact. #WomenInMining #SustainableMining #IndustryInnovation #MiningConference #EnvironmentalStewardship #ProfessionalDevelopment
