About the IMD
The Industrial Mineral Division of The Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum was established for the purpose of rendering direct service to all those whose interests lie in industrial minerals (non-metallics) throughout Canada. This Division endeavors in all possible ways to be of help to all branches of the industrial minerals industry, and for this purpose, has established the following services:
- Papers, dealing with industrial minerals, and written by one well versed in the subject, are to be published in CIM Bulletin.
- At each Annual General Meeting of the Institute, held each year, special sessions are held in which the time is devoted to the reading and discussion of papers bearing directly on industrial minerals, and at which time any subject relating to the welfare of the industrial minerals industry can be presented and discussed.
- A section of the CIM Bulletin each month is devoted to timely items of interest relating to industrial minerals activities, and as the correspondents appointed by the section for this purpose are established throughout Canada, this service will become increasingly valuable as a medium of disseminating first hand news relating to the industry.
- Regional Committees have been appointed who, acting through the general committee of the section, will look after the interests of the industrial minerals industry in their respective regions and will do all in their power to further the interests of the members of the institute.
- It is proposed, as time permits, to make detailed studies of the several industries dealing directly with industrial minerals, in order to see in what way markets can be extended. The work will of necessity take time and can only be accomplished by the fullest cooperation of all those engaged in the several industries.
