WINNER OF THE MEL BARTLEY OUTSTANDING BRANCH AWARD IN 2003

The CIM Edmonton Branch proudly supports a dynamic community of professionals, students, and stakeholders across the mining and minerals industries in Alberta’s capital region.

After a successful relaunch in 2024 following four years of dormancy, the branch has quickly re-established itself as a hub for knowledge-sharing, networking, and professional/academic development.

Our executive team is comprised of industry leaders and academics, with strong representation from mining companies, service providers, and the University of Alberta. This balance ensures our programming remains relevant and inclusive, addressing the evolving interests and challenges across the sector.
