Mid-Year Report 2023

JUNE 2023 MID-YEAR REPORT

The Diverse Voices of CIM

Different views, experiences, approaches. Differences make a difference.

As we approach the halfway point of our 125th year, it is clear to me that one of the elements that CIM has always focused on is the one element that it must continue to foster, namely, the desire and ability to allow and encourage a space for different voices to speak and be heard.

As a CIM member, you—individually, but especially collectively—have the power to use your voice to drive our industry forward in a wealth of ways. Join societies and committees that align with your interests and contribute to improving standards, guidelines and leading practices. CIM is the sum of its parts, most importantly its members, and it serves both those members and the industry at large by developing and communicating best practices and fostering innovation.

The 2023 CIM Convention—considered our most successful yet—focused on perhaps our biggest challenge: decarbonizing the world. The positive feedback we received made it clear that sharing perspectives,

considering new avenues and challenging traditional wisdom are the keys to unlocking our potential as an institute and as an industry, not only to meet decarbonization deadlines, but also to solidify our Canadian brand and lead the transformation of industry and how it might be perceived.

Yes, there will likely be obstacles on the road ahead. But if we continue to make more room for other voices, we’ll have much of what we need to attain a more prosperous future for ourselves, our communities and our industry.

Driving Innovation

CIM takes an active leadership role in driving innovation and working with our valued partners to advance an increasingly sustainable future through the world’s mineral resources. We enable inclusive collaboration across our industry and beyond that helps to identify the most pressing of challenges, set priorities and facilitate solutions.

CIM Practice Guidelines for Mineral Processing (PGMP)

The Practice Guidelines for Mineral Processing (PGMP) were prepared by the Sub-Committee of the Canadian Mineral Processors (CMP), which is a Technical Society of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM).

The PGMP covers the involvement of mineral processing professionals in providing inputs to the estimation of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves and providing technical content for internal reports as well as public reports on mineral projects, as required under National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101). The PGMP supplements the CIM Exploration Practice Guidelines (2018) and the CIM Estimation of Mineral Resources & Mineral Reserves Practice Guidelines (2019), which are referenced in Companion Policy 43-101CP to NI 43-101 and recognized internationally.

Seeking Your Input on the Cost Estimation Guidelines

The CIM Standards, Leading Practices and Guidelines Directorate (SLPGD) has begun drafting the Cost Estimation Guidelines, which will serve as a “how to” on effectively managing cost estimating activities involved in a mineral project. Anyone interested in writing, reviewing or contributing expertise is asked to reach out to Jennifer Breaux

Health & Safety Society

The CIM Health & Safety Society has been busy with a number of initiatives. After developing a strategic plan to align with CIM National, revisions to the Society Charter have been drafted. At the recent Society Annual General Assembly Samantha Espley, past CIM President, took over the role of Society Chair, with Glenn Lyle becoming Past Chair. Bryan Wilson was elected to the position of Vice Chair. New members were also added to the executive.

The convention in Montreal was a great success with a solid stream of safetyrelated presentations. The Society, in partnership with CIM Magazine, is producing the webinar series “The Safety Share” and has put on four engaging discussions to date with more in the works.

Planning has begun for a CIM Health & Safety Society Conference with a committee formed and conference date and location confirmed Oct 6-8, 2024, at the Marriott Hotel in Toronto.
