The Mining Association of Manitoba  made a big announcement  at the recent Central Canada Mineral Exploration Convention  announcing Flin Flon’s Ashton Crone as its new board president.

Crone, the director of Health, Safety, Risk and Strategy for the Manitoba division of Hudbay Minerals, is a mining professional with a 19-year career with Hudbay. Crone brings his extensive expertise in safety, operations, and project management, consistently driving continuous improvement and operational excellence to the new leadership role with MAMI.

Crone will be stepping in for out going President Stacy Kennedy ,  who made history with her appointment in 2022, serving as the first female president in MAMI’s 80-year history. In stepping down from her role, she leaves a lasting legacy of leadership, dedication, and progress.

MAMI has been the voice of the industry for over eight decades. In recent years membership has increased significantly with 56 companies now committed to supporting and strengthening the industry in the province.
