CIM SOCIETIES
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.
Environmental and Social Responsibility Society of CIM
The structure of the revitalized CIM Environment and Social Responsibility Society includes five technical sections within the Society: Mine Solids Management (waste), Water Management (water), Air Quality (air), Environment, and Social Responsibility and Aboriginal Affairs (social). Each of the five sections are intended to address key environmental aspects associated mining, the natural environment and communities including those presented below; Land – Waste rock, tailings, dusts, residues, sludges, slag, disposal, management, reprocessing, decommissioning, reclamation. Water – Process effluents, acidic drainage, neutral drainage, ground water, surface water, mine water, seepage, treatment (active, passive, chemical, biological, physical). Air - Emissions - SO2, SO3, NOX, CO2, halogens, fumes, particulate, climate change. Natural Environment – Environmental impact assessments, life cycle analysis, abandoned mines, designing for closure, footprint, environmental effects monitoring. Social - Indigenous affairs, CSR, conflict minerals, employment, law & order, training, footprint, succession, bribery/corruption, regulations, taxes, communication, disclosures, benefits community succession.
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.
Metallurgy and Materials Society of CIM
The Metallurgy and Materials Society of CIM (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.
Society for Rock Engineering
In November 2004 the Council of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) recognized and welcomed the Rock Engineering Society as a constituent society of the Institute. The Rock Engineering Society 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.
Surface Mining Society
In 2011, the Institute moved ahead with the reorganization of its societies. Four of existing socities were amalgamated to create two new societies. Indeed, the Metal Mining, the Coal and Industrial Minerals, the Oil Sands and the Innovative Mining Technology societies were replaced by the Underground Mining Society and the Surface Mining Society. The goal being to offer a more logical structure to better support our members and their professional aspirations. These two new societies will allow members to share the same technical, operational, equipment and management issues. Both new societies will be comprised of several groups with communities and technical issues that are specific to their commodities and geographies
