The awards aim to recognize outstanding Indigenous women making an impact in the Canadian mining industry as well as the future Indigenous women leaders currently enrolled in a post-secondary school.

For the Indigenous Trailblazer Award, there is no restriction on the career types eligible for the award, as long as the nominees have made an impact on the industry. And for the Indigenous Student Trailblazer Award, there is no restriction of level of study or program of study, so long as they have a demonstrated interest in working in the mining industry upon graduation. There is a $5,000 scholarship associated with the student award.
