SOCIETIES Canadian Mineral Processors Society The Canadian Mineral Processors (CMP) is a technical division of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum and was originally formed as an operator-oriented group called the Canadian Gold Metallurgists.The CMP is organized across the country into ten regions with a representative from each region sitting on the Board of Directors. Three meetings of the Board are held annually, two in January and one in September.The principal technical meeting of the Division is the Annual Operators Conference held in Ottawa, during the 3rd full week of January. In addition, the CMP sponsors several technical sessions and symposia at all CIM Annual General Meetings and at The Metallurgical Society of CIM's Annual Conference of Metallurgists. Each Region will try to host one or two technical meetings each year and these generally include a mill/mine tour.The CMP has always been a strong believer and supporter of education programs, on a national and regional basis. At the regional level surplus funds are generally awarded to selected students. Nationally the CMP invites two selected students, from each of the universities and technical schools in Canada offering courses in mineral processing to their Annual Operator's Conference with all expenses fully paid. This provides the students with an excellent opportunity to meet with industry operators and become familiar with current problems and practices. A specially bound copy of the CMP Annual Proceedings and a CD-ROM of all Proceedings donated annually to each of the above qualifying universities and technical schools.
