So you've touched on it a bit already, but describe the, the concept of human factors and, and non-technical skills and how they are commonly the root of the problem when we look at the numbers from literature around the world when it comes to analyzing mistakes.
7:53
All right.
7:53
Well, let's, let's, let's just talk about non-technical skills because, because CRM is really what, uh, um, um, it incorporates or encompasses what we call non-technical skills.
8:05
Um, and they comprise three groups, and I'll go through those groups in a second.
8:10
Um, those non-technical, technical skills are also sometimes referred to as soft skills, but soft skills is perhaps not such a good term to use because it sort of implies that it's not that important if they're soft skills as opposed to hard skills.

But I suppose anybody, a pilot needs to be able to fly an airplane.

As an anesthetist, I need to be able to put a patient to sleep and to wake them up again safely.

So my first question to you is what message is B2Gold bringing to this year's Mining Expo?
0:54
Yeah, Angie, a, a number of good messages.
0:57
Um, I think the most important for us, uh, for Otjikoto specifically is the, the Antelope project, um, which is really the future for, for B2Gold Namibia.
1:08
Um, we, uh, we had our first blast, uh, at the project on the 27th of February this year.
1:15
And, um, this, this discovery, um, really breathes new life into the Otjikoto mine, um, extending our, our mi- our, our gold production and our life of mine.
1:27
So that's really gonna be the key focus area.
1:29
And then, of course, also, um, continued exploration, uh, around the Otjikoto deposit.
4:10
Yeah.
