Women call shots at U-miner Nick Butterly Canberra, The West Australian April 3, 2013, 

WA’s first uranium miner will be headed by two women.The company Toro Energy is led by Dr Vanessa Guthrie and Dr Erica Smyth, both boasting a long list of achievements in the State’s male-dominated resources sector.

Dr Guthrie is managing director of Toro and Dr Smyth is its non-executive chairman.

Dr Guthrie acknowledged it was unusual for a miner to have both a female chief executive and a chairman…..

Dr Smyth  said the fact a mining company headed by two women was succeeding showed how the resources industry was changing and stereotypes were being broken down. http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/wa/16515070/women-call-shots-at-u-miner/

Christina’s comment – “Oh yeah!  – more like the stereotype of giving the impossible jobs to women!”
