Base Metals - Navigating Turbulent Times

The base metals business, long a pillar of strength in Canada’s mining industry, is struggling today in a market where oversupply and weak demand are driving price declines that some experts believe will continue into 2017. Mining companies are under immense pressure to minimize cash outflows with exploration budgets and mine development among the areas hit. In these conditions, how do companies balance the need for immediate action with the longer-term requirements of the business – including managing and retaining talent in turbulent times. Jennifer Maki, CEO of Vale Canada and Executive Director of Vale Base Metals, will share her experiences leading Vale Canada during an industry downturn and what Vale is doing to address today’s pressures without sacrificing tomorrow’s promise.

Ms. Maki has distinguished herself as an astute leader at Vale by taking firm action in cost management and control, implementing funding strategies, negotiating joint venture agreements in Base Metals, resolving pension fund issues for our Base Metals companies, and demonstrating exceptional commitment and motivational skills.
