BUILDING ON SOLID GROUND SINCE 1898The Institute was incorporated by an Act of the Parliament of Canada in 1898 as the Canadian Mining Institute. In 1920, it became the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, and in 1990, the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum.

Today, CIM counts over 14,700 members, 10 technical societies and more than 38 branches and student chapters; since 2005, our membership has doubled. Our members, who hail from industry, academia and government, help to shape, lead and connect Canada’s mining industry. Corporate and student memberships broaden the Institute’s reach even further and add exciting new dimensions of expertise and interests. Although the backgrounds of CIM members may be diverse, they share a common goal – the sustainable discovery, production and utilization of minerals, metals and petroleum.

CIM maintains three key objectives for its Annual Convention: facilitating the exchange of knowledge and technology, fostering fraternity, and celebrating excellence. Members and other industry professionals value these opportunities, as do the exhibitors, delegates, and visitors. CIM members enjoy a sense of community within the Canadian mining, metals and energy industries by participating in the various ventures of the organization. They network and stay on top of the latest technological innovations, thereby shaping the entire future of the industry.

PURPOSEThe core purpose of CIM is to serve minerals, materials and petroleum industries and professionals around the world.

We achieve this by:

• Being the preferred source of knowledge and best practices.

• Facilitating learning and continuous professional development.

• Facilitating collaboration among all constituents.

• Providing leadership in the development and use of industry standards.

• Promoting our industries to society.

• Recognizing excellence and outstanding achievements.

• Providing networking opportunities.

“The success of the CIM conference and the benefit I derived from it in networking and in showing the wide range of the natural resources of Guinea has no equal.”

CIM‘s highly acclaimed M4S exhibition is in its ninth year of educating the general public about mining and its impact on our daily lives. The 4 M’s stand for Mines, Minerals, Metals and Materials. This exhibition is provided free of charge to school groups as well as members of the general public. It can accommodate several visiting groups at a time and transportation assistance can be provided to schools who wish to attend but cannot afford the transportation.

M4S is also the place people come to learn about the wide variety of exciting careers in this industry. By highlighting the opportunities and dispelling the myths today, we can help secure a robust future for the industry for the generations to come. Our industry is facing a human resources shortage. Over the next decade, 100,000 jobs will need to be filled Canada-wide. Attendance to M4S has been growing every year. Feedback from both attendees and participants has been consistently and enthusiastically positive. We invite you to be a part of this exciting and rewarding venture where the public comes to learn about the positive side of mining.
