In today ’ s mining industry , few voices carry as much weight as that of Jonathan Price , President and CEO of Teck Resources , one of Canada ’ s largest diversified mining companies . Teck has long been at the forefront of industry trends and innovations , and under Jonathan ’ s leadership , it is charting a course through the complex interplay of ESG concerns , critical mineral demand and technological transformation .

Jonathan ’ s perspective on the industry ’ s challenges and opportunities is both pragmatic and forward-thinking . “ We ’ ve seen a convergence of both the issue and the opportunity over the last 12 months or more ”, he says , speaking in an EY video interview .
This convergence , he goes on to say , centres on dual pressures facing the mining sector : the urgent need for critical minerals to support global decarbonisation efforts and the increasingly stringent environmental and social expectations surrounding mineral extraction .
“ We ’ re being asked to do more than we ’ ve ever done before in terms of the rate of mining and the rate of extraction , but of course that needs to be done in a more responsible way , creating less impact than it ’ s ever been done before ”, Jonathan explains .
Jonathan has been able to negotiate the huge challenges of his role by drawing on his deep and long experience .
His career spans more than two decades in the mining and finance

“We ’ re being asked to do more than ever in terms of the rate of extraction ”
