Show Notes
Misael Cabrera, Director of the School of Mining and Mineral Resources at the University of Arizona, joins us to discuss the significant gains possible at the intersection of education, technological innovation, and mineral development. Formerly the director of a leading environmental regulatory agency, Cabrera brings a unique perspective to addressing distorted views of mining. He deftly dissects not only public disconnect from the industry but also the potential—given the right outreach and education—to thoughtfully reconnect today’s generations with their dependence on minerals, both as consumers and as stewards of the planet.
