As a leading Orebody Knowledge Expert, Ellie has played a pivotal role in solving some of the most challenging problems our clients face in orebody and resource characterisation. Her journey from Tehran, Iran, to becoming a revered figure in the global mining sector is not just inspiring—it's a testament to the power of passion, perseverance, and the pursuit of excellence.

Ellie's profound impact on Veracio and the mining industry at large begins with her academic prowess, holding a BSc and MSc in mining engineering and mineral exploration, followed by a Ph.D. in Earth and Energy Sciences from the United States. Her transition from an educator and researcher to a linchpin in our company underscores her unparalleled expertise in optimizing the mining value chain, developing cutting-edge geometallurgical programs, and mastering orebody modeling complexities.

At Veracio, our ethos is to merge science and technology with digital innovation, enhancing efficiency, profitability, and sustainability across the mineral exploration and mining sectors. Ellie's work embodies this vision, as she leverages advanced scanning, sensing, and AI technologies to revolutionize orebody sciences. Her solutions not only optimize workflows and drill plans but also accelerate real-time decision-making, setting new standards in the industry.

Ellie's journey is a beacon of inspiration, particularly for women in science and engineering. Facing the dual challenges of relocating to a new country and navigating a male-dominated field, she has risen above adversity with grace and determination. Her story, from collecting rocks in Iran to spearheading projects that redefine industry benchmarks in Australia, is a powerful reminder of the resilience and potential within each of us.

In her own words, Ellie envisions a future where women lead and are recognized for their scientific achievements. Her commitment to this vision, combined with her exceptional contributions to Veracio and the mining sector, makes her a formidable ambassador for International Women's Day and beyond. Ellie's advice to women in science—to embrace self-confidence, celebrate achievements, and find joy in the journey—echoes our core values at Veracio. We believe in fostering an environment where talent thrives, irrespective of gender or background, and where each individual's work is respected for its quality and impact.

As we celebrate Ellie's accomplishments and her pivotal role at Veracio, we invite you to watch the video showcasing her journey and vision. Her story is not just about the strides made in orebody knowledge and mining efficiency; it's about breaking barriers, fostering inclusivity, and paving the way for the next generation of scientists and engineers.

Ellie's narrative is a vibrant thread in the fabric of Veracio's mission to innovate and empower. As we continue to push the boundaries of what's possible in mineral exploration and mining, we are honored to have Dr. Elham Hosseinzadeh Sabeti lead the charge. Her achievements are a beacon of hope and inspiration, urging us all to look beyond the challenges of today and towards the vast possibilities of tomorrow.
