YMP connects people to advance our industry.
YMP Awards
The YMP Awards, presented in association with The Northern Miner, recognize two young mining professionals, a male and a female, who over the past year, and during the course of their careers, have demonstrated exceptional leadership skills and innovative thinking to provide value for their companies and shareholders, as well as for themselves. The Awards are named after two iconic entrepreneurs in the mining industry, Peter Munk and Eira Thomas.
The YMP Awards 2025 details will be announced soon.
