Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 202: a conversation with Johan Boshoff
Q: What role did you play in achieving high conformance with GISDM at Gold Fields?
I led the development of a conformist internal tailings standard aligned with GISDM, drove detailed disclosure down to the requirement parts level (about 219 parts per TSF), and built a globally distributed, self-sufficient team to maintain governance across 11 operations.
Episode 202: a conversation with Johan Boshoff
Q: Johan, what is your daily production rate at Solaris Norte with the filtered plant?
The plant is producing at about 2.4 million tonnes per annum, which is a solid but not enormous throughput for a tailings facility, reflecting the scaled but efficient operation.
Episode 194: A conversation with Michael Hartley of Interknowlogy
Q: So what issues in a mining company could be bettered by your services?
Michael explains that mining organizations often operate in a reactionary mode, needing to shift to a more proactive stance that recognizes the complexity of their systems and the interrelation of decisions.
Episode 192: A conversation with Ed Sage
Q: What are the lessons you've learned in your career?
Ed emphasized the importance of continuous learning and understanding the practical applications of satellite technologies in tailings monitoring.
Episode 192: A conversation with Ed Sage
