The list, its third edition, aims to showcase the range of female talent within the global mining industry and to identify inspirational role models to encourage future generations of women to consider mining as a career choice.

Almost a quarter (24) of the list were Australia-based women.
Fortescue Metals Group CEO Elizabeth Gaines was the most high-profile Aussie named.
Only yesterday, she told the company's annual general meeting that 24% of the company's management team was female and 17.2% across the whole company.
"I'm focusing on creating an environment that has equal representation, regardless of gender or race," Gaines said.

"This book is a living history of women working in mining and through their stories we learn how they have addressed challenges, empowered others and forged rewarding and important careers in the sector," WIM chair Carole Cable said.
"The key themes emanating from the stories are the acknowledgement that much more needs to be done to improve diversity and inclusion, the challenge of attracting and retaining women, and their optimism that the industry has the ability to change further.
"We hope this book, and others like it from WIM groups around the world, will strengthen the voices of women in mining to change attitudes toward diversity and inclusion.
"There is an incredible talent base out there - current and future - so our challenge is to break the models that don't work and dare to increase the pace of change."
Anglo American/De Beers led the list with six entries, followed by South32, Newmont, BHP and Glencore with four.
Other high-profile global women to make the list included Barrick Gold chief financial officer Catherine Raw and Newmont chair Noreen Doyle.
