#173- Capstone Copper

On this episode of Mining Minds, we travel to Miami, Arizona, to take part in Capstone Copper's Open Family Days—an event designed to showcase the mine site, the dedicated individuals working there, and to foster community education. We sat down with David Gines, the maintenance manager for Capstone Copper, to discuss the event and hear about his personal mining journey. In addition, we have a conversation with up-and-coming artist Yawnee Gunna, who shares his experiences as a rapper and his journey of overcoming addiction. We also chat with Josh Sumsion from Arnold Machinery, who offers his perspective on educating the mining industry through innovative content creation. From the exciting event to the inspiring conversations, we were able to experience the strong family atmosphere Capstone Copper cultivated for this memorable occasion. Tune in for an episode full of insight, stories, and community spirit! Thank you to Arnold Machinery, Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas Inc., and Capstone Copper for allowing us to take part in this amazing event.
