Racism in Mining & Exploration: A Conversation with Tyre Gray

Tyre Gray, President of the Nevada Mining Association, joins the podcast to discuss racism and diversity within the mining and mineral exploration industry in Nevada and North America. Tyre shares his thoughts to the protests and demands of systematic changes in America, but also opens up about the opportunities the mining industry has to narrow opportunity gaps for people of all skin colors, gender or sexual orientation. Tyre also shares some of the key outreach strategies of the association to improve diversity for its members and the state's mining industry.
