Matthew Zhang

Matthew initially questioned whether geology was the right path for him, but firsthand industry exposure revealed the breadth of opportunities within mining. Rather than resolving that uncertainty, he learned to tap into it as an almost limitless resource for curiosity, growth and action. Along the way, he has honed storytelling as a way to connect meaningfully with others and empower emerging professionals. 

His submission draws on that experience, arguing that Gen Z engagement in mining depends on authentic exposure, relatable role models, practical challenges and mentoring that help young people see where they can contribute.
