"The mining industry is facing tremendous pressure," says Kari LaMotte, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer. "Ore grades are declining, and production demands are increasing. The needs for engagement with communities and environmental responsibility is unprecedented. Every mining company is looking at how they can innovate and apply technology to best advantage to meet these challenges. We are seeing tremendous growth in the number of projects and ventures that we are initiating with these strategic partners; even beyond what we had predicted when we started with Kite. Miranda is an accomplished leader who brings a wide perspective in both strategy and operations, and we believe her experience will help drive Kite's success during this period of rapid growth."
"Almost everything that we do as a society requires metals and minerals," says Alldritt. "There is so much innovation going on in the mining space but ruggedizing and productizing new technologies to the point where they can be used in production is a significant challenge. It is critical for the energy transition that we take every opportunity that we can to improve our ability to mine sustainably. I am excited to start working with our partners and our ventures towards these incredibly important goals."
