About Anouk Lemieux

I am a senior mining technical services and geoscience leader with 15 years of experience across open-pit, dredging and processing operations, mine planning governance, geotechnical risk management, tailings and water stewardship (GISTM), and operational performance improvement.I focus on ensuring that mining is both technically robust and environmentally responsible. My experience spans strategic planning to daily operational execution, and I work effectively at the intersection of operations, environment, communities and leadership development.Across Rio Tinto operations in Madagascar and Canada, I have led:• Standardization of mine planning systems and governance frameworks• Integration of sustainability, biodiversity, rehabilitation and closure strategies into operational decision-making• Deployment of Lean/Safe Production System methodologies to improve performance stability• Multidisciplinary technical team leadership and talent development in multicultural environments• Tailings, water management and major hazard governance aligned to global standards (including GISTM)I am particularly motivated by roles where technical excellence supports long-term environmental and social responsibility, and where integrated planning can unlock safer, more efficient, and more sustainable mining outcomes.With strengths in collaboration, change leadership, and data-informed decision-making, I thrive in environments where teamwork, curiosity, and continuous improvement drive results.
