CIM SOCIETIES
Canadian Mineral Processors Society of CIM
The Canadian Mineral Processors (CMP) is a technical society of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum and was originally formed as an operator-oriented group called the Canadian Gold Metallurgists. CMP became a Society of CIM in the 1980's.
Coal and Industrial Minerals Society
Following the departure of the Petroleum Society in 2008, CIM created the Oil Sands Society in order to offer a "home" to members working in the petroleum world, mainly in oil sands. At the same time, CIM Council agreed it would make sense and synergy would be created by regrouping the "Coal" and the "Industrial Minerals" groups of interest which created the new "Coal and Industrial Society.
Environmental Society of CIM
The CIM Environmental Society was founded in 1998 to provide a forum for the exchange of knowledge and skills in technical and environmental areas between professionals in the mining, metallurgical, petroleum and coal industries.
Geological Society of CIM
The Geological Society was founded in 1942 as the Geology Division of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM). Its mission is to stimulate and advance the application of geoscience in the search, discovery, appraisal and exploitation of mineral deposits through field conferences, technical sessions, short courses, publications, lecture tours, as well as professional and social networking. Related objectives are to promote and encourage research and education in the Earth Sciences, to promote public awareness of the mineral industry, and to recognize excellence.
Maintenance and Engineering Society of CIM
Our role as a Society within the overall body of the CIM is to facilitate the objectives laid out by the founders.
Management & Economics Society of CIM
The Management and Economics Society, MES, is the former Mineral Economics Society of CIM. In addition to its traditional membership of those involved in economics and finance of mining (investment bankers, corporate bankers, investment analysts, mineral economists, chief executives, fund managers, capital markets professionals and others), the mandate was expanded to encompass members involved in all aspects of the management of companies active in the mining sector.
Metal Mining Society of CIM
The Metal Mining Society (MMS) was established to serve the needs of a growing membership of underground and open pit mine operations and technical personnel within CIM.
Metallurgical Society of CIM
Metallurgical Society (MetSoc) members have been active in CIM since its inception in 1898. In 1945, the Metallurgy Division was formed to reflect the group’s technical interests. In 1967, it was constituted as a society. Today, membership continues to be very strong with over 1,600 members.
Mining Society of Nova Scotia
The Mining Society of Nova Scotia is an independent society affiliated with CIM. The society has a rich history dating back to coal and gold mining in the 1890s in Nova Scotia. Its members represent the Nova Scotians who work in the industry today.
Oil Sands Society
The Oil Sands Society was created by a motion of Council at the 2008 AGM, splitting the former Coal and Oil Sands Society into separate entities. The level of activity and investment in the oil sands sector, coupled with the departure of the Petroleum Society from CIM, provided an opportunity to create a distinct technical society dedicated to serving the needs of this unique industry sector.
Society for Innovative Mining Technology
The new CIM Society for Innovative Mining Technology (SIMT) was established in 2004 to understand, develop, share, and apply productivity improvements and the latest information technology and management science to drive business results in the mining and metals industries.
Society for Rock Engineering
In November 2004 the Council of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) recognized and welcomed the Society for Rock Engineering as a constituent society of the Institute. The Society for Rock Engineering traces its origins to 1984 when the Rock Mechanics Committee of the CIM was formed by members of the metal mining, coal mining and geology divisions. This was in direct recognition of the importance of rock mechanics, geotechnical and ground control issues to mining and the need to provide a forum to advance mining rock engineering in Canada.
