About Dan Laing

I am a licenced professional mining engineer with over 25 years of experience spanning mine operations, technical services, and project management that includes supervisory, management, and leadership roles. This has provided exposure to mine production, development, construction, directing multidisciplinary teams, coaching, mentoring, and engineering design. Commodity knowledge includes nickel, copper, zinc, gold, and uranium with various extraction methods ranging from identification in studies to implementation. I’m driven to provide the best outcomes with respect to health and safety, quality, on time and on budget delivery for operations as well as projects. This inspires me to continuously expand my knowledge by participating in online and in person courses, webinars, seminars, and conferences.I value knowledge sharing including educating future leaders through instructing an online course in mine supervision and project management. Giving back to the industry and my community has included participating on various advisory boards and committees.
