TRANSFORMATION

THE HAS BEGUN

It has been a tremendous honour to serve as CIM President for the 2018-2019 term. An exciting, busy and inspiring year, filled with positive changes built upon our strong foundation. The organization has embarked on a new path, with a commitment to provide greater member benefit, increased industry relevance and even more of the strong technical content and expertise that CIM is known for. To be that “Trusted Voice” and provider of evidence-based best practice, advice and knowledge. This change is built on the commitment and passion of the robust CIM community, including Branches, Societies and Committees as well as the amazing people behind CIM, the staff and dedicated volunteers. At the centre of this transformation has been the OneCIM initiative, which is breaking down silos and fostering a collaborative, connected and engaged CIM community.

constituents and we have taken action to elevate CIM’s relevance and contributions within the Canadian minerals and metals sector. Membership is continuing to grow but will remain a focus going forward. These are exciting times and the future looks very positive. President Elect Roy Slack will lead CIM on its journey when he takes office. While my term has come to an end, I will continue to support CIM. In closing, it has been an amazing experience and I would like to thank all who supported me this past year, especially CIM CEO Angela Hamlyn and her dedicated directors and staff, CIM Council, pastpresidents and you - the CIM community.

This past year, I had the pleasure of participating in a number of CIM events across the country. At each event, whether local Branch meetings, niche workshops or large international events such as Resources for Future Generations (RFG), I was consistently impressed by the diverse, relevant, topical content delivered as well as the commitment to excellence and to the CIM community. Operationally over the past year, we have undertaken a series of strategic planning sessions to ensure efforts are focused to create maximum member and sector value. In addition, we have implemented changes to facilitate collaboration between CIM

CIM 4.0 – STRONGER THROUGH

COLLABORATION There is a great deal of buzz these days about Mining 4.0 and the transformative power of digital technologies and increased focus on innovation by mining companies and suppliers. Market realities are forcing us to radically rethink the very core of how we do what we do and increasing the need for strategic partnerships and collaboration. CIM has long served as an incubator for innovation and the advancement of new technologies. Through the efforts of our 10 technical Societies, various Committees and Groups, as well as our network of 33 Branches across Canada, we are able to explore innovation through many lenses as they relate to the myriad areas of expertise. As CIM celebrated an important milestone in 2018 – marking 120 years as Canada’s leading technical society of mining, minerals and materials professionals – CIM also took significant steps in setting the foundation for our own transformation.

CIM’s transformation is to take a digital turn in 2019, as we roll out a new corporate website, implement a Customer Relations Management System (XRM) to enable us to more effectively master our contact information and employ tools enabling us to better use metrics to turn data into actionable insights. There will also be a greater focus on leveraging new platforms towards providing professional development opportunities. With the exponential rate of change in our industry and society at large, CIM’s ability to bring individuals and groups together across a broad spectrum of disciplines is more important than ever. At our core, CIM is about people. Although the ways in which we engage may change, we look forward to setting the stage for another 120 years of relevance as a trusted voice and connective force for the industry.

A key element of this evolution involved a stronger commitment to understanding and responding to the evolving needs of our constituents and industry partners. CIM has a rich a dynamic tapestry and a deliberate focus this past year was on gaining a more accurate picture of the groups and individuals who power our thriving ecosystem. Also, there was a great deal of effort put towards shoring up our governance practices and putting in place the processes, policies and documentation to ensure we are running an operationally sound organization. A greater effort was made to increase face-to-face interaction and communicate more regularly with our constituents in order to better support them and respond more effectively to their needs. Not without some growing pains – 2018 saw considerable movement towards what many have referred to as a “New CIM” – as volunteers increasingly collaborated to put CIM on a more sustainable footing. Powered by the OneCIM initiative, 2019 will bring more active focus in this area.

EDITORIAL

EXCELLENCE As of early December 2018, the new CIM Magazine website has been live for just over 18 months. During that time, the editors have been focused on growing the audience for the magazine in a number of ways. The CIM Magazine team continues produce articles for the news feed on a daily basis, have created webonly content and are actively promoting that material across the CIM social media channels.

Beyond the numbers, CIM Magazine was recognized again this year by the Trade Association Business Press International for both exceptional editorial and artwork. The team’s focus on the topic of carbon pricing for mining operations, “The Carbon Conundrum,” was considered among the best in its category as was the cover of the December 2017/January 2018 exploration edition.

A special editorial series titled, “We Are Mining,” was launched in 2018, which explored the stories and experiences – both the good and bad – of women, Indigenous people and people of colour working in the mining industry. The stories were shared widely and generated considerable discussion.

CIM Journal, completing its ninth year, published 21 peer-reviewed papers over its four issues. New additions to the OneMine online library included all of the CIM Journal articles from 2017 and 2018, as well as the proceedings from the 2017 Conference of Metallurgists and the 2018 Canadian Mineral Processors Conference.

In 2019, a new series titled, “Future Prospects,” will explore the changing workplace, and the strategies young professionals will need to build themselves a career in the digital mining industry. The weekly recap newsletter was launched in 2018 to share mining news that is drawn from CIM Magazine as well as other online resources. In addition, the French CIM Magazine newsletter was relaunched to better serve our Francophone readership. Together, these efforts have resulted in the steady growth of CIM Magazine ’s online audience month over month. Over the final three months of 2018, user numbers were up 85 per cent and page views were up 95 per cent versus the same period last year.

RESOURCES FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS 2018 The Resources for Future Generations (RFG) conference, under the auspices of the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS), was delivered by Canadian partners: the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), the Canadian Federation of Earth Sciences (CFES), the Geological Association of Canada (GAC) and the Mineralogical Association of Canada (MAC). RFG 2018 examined three critical resources – energy, minerals and water – in the context of the earth, environment, society and the needs and roles of future generations. Six major themes generated content for 22 parallel technical rooms and in excess of 40 plenary and keynote speakers. Attendees represented earth science and engineering research and practice, industry, governments, Indigenous people, and communities. RFG 2018 especially welcomed early career professionals, researchers and students – the Future Generation. An overwhelming number of sponsors, technical partners and supporting partners represented a wide variety of local and global interests and played critical roles in the development of this novel conference. CIM bids a special thank you to John F. H. Thompson, RFG 2018 General Chair and Anne Thompson, Editorial Chair and Acting Co-Chair of the conference, for their countless efforts and leadership.

MEMBERSHIP Both individual and corporate membership revenues continued to hold steady for 2018, performing at similar numbers as the previous year. In 2018, the membership department focused its attention on optimizing interactions and building relationships with members and volunteers, particularly with Branches and Societies. This involved improving the performance of currently existing systems and tools to better serve members and volunteers, working closely with Branches and Societies to understand and evaluate their needs, and helping with their membership development. This was accomplished by providing Branches and Societies with active and delinquent member lists – upon request – to match their membership with CIM’s database. With assistance from the Communications and Marketing department, a campaign was launched to reach members without Society affiliations to promote their value. These changes reflect CIM’s commitment to continuously provide programs, benefits and services that meet the evolving needs of members and the industry. CIM is poised to better support Branches, Societies, Student Chapters, members and volunteers by developing value-added professional development initiatives, fostering learning experiences and building successful partnerships within CIM. In April 2018, CIM began offering Corporate Members the opportunity to advertise their career, internship or co-op opportunities for free on the CIM website and in the CIM newsletter, which was very well-received. CIM posted 40 job opportunities on behalf of Corporate Members in 2018. This number is set to increase significantly in 2019 with the revamped CIM website and new CIM Link community engagement platform.

CANADIAN MINING GAMES The Canadian Mining Games is a key student event for the industry. In 2018, CIM continued to offer support and stability to the CMG by providing sponsorship, handling the organization’s finances and promoting the event through print and digital media channels. CIM attends the games each year and uses the opportunity to have open discussions with student attendees to get a better sense of what they need from CIM. Keeping the conversation going ensures that CIM is able to help students along their path to a successful career in the extractive industries.

CIM Link After listening to the concerns of members and executives of Branches and Societies, CIM understands that there exists a need for more opportunities for members to engage and connect with each other. To address this challenge, in 2019, CIM will be introducing a new community platform: CIM Link – the online community for mining professionals. CIM Link is the place experts, professionals and students can help each other shape their careers, share knowledge and leave a lasting impact on the industry. It will also be a great forum for sharing knowledge and expertise across a broad spectrum of topics.

GLOBAL MINERAL PROFESSIONALS ALLIANCE (GMPA) In May 2018, CIM had the honour of hosting the Global Mineral Professionals Alliance (GMPA), a collaborative partnership between leading professional organizations for minerals internationally. Held in Vancouver, senior leaders from AusIMM, IIMP, IOM3, SAIMM and SME joined CIM to share ideas and best practices on a number of areas including: strategic priorities, programming, careers in the sector, membership, diversity and inclusion, attracting young professionals and supporting studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mining-related programs.

CIM FOUNDATION Thanks to the contribution of generous donors in 2018, the CIM Foundation (CIMF) was able to continue to support scholarships and the CIM Distinguished Lecturers program (see page 14-15). The Foundation also contributed to organizations such as the Brittania Mine Museum, MineralsEd and the Club de Mineralogie de Montréal.

Throughout the year, CIMF also provides educational material to these initiatives as well as to CIM Branches and Societies for their regional events. Students and their teachers receive collectible mineral cards to help them continue their learning well after the events and to assist them in their school projects.

These groups provide students and members of the general public across Canada with valuable educational programs and events to help them better understand how the mining industry supports them in their daily lives.

FINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND REPORTING In 2018, changes made to the accounting and reporting methods over the past few years appeared to have paid off. Through the constant involvement of all departments, CIM has been able to generate a healthy positive cash inflow over the past three years. There were some challenges in 2018, one of them being the Resources for Future Generations (RFG) conference. Through numerous hours of hard work, CIM was able to generate a profit from the conference ensuring that future RFG conferences will take place.

In the spring of 2018, it was decided that the 10 regions of the Canadian Mineral Processors (CMP) would move their complete accounting functions to CIM National. This endeavour was completed without major issues and CIM looks forward to better serving other constituents in the future. The financial health of the organization is being reinvested into new member benefits and support for CIM members. Although more work needs to be done, the outlook for 2019 is positive, with the hopes of generating better results than in previous years.

DIGITAL

EVOLUTION CIM WEBSITE

CIM LINK

To address the issue of an aging website, which is now eight years old, a redesigned CIM website is scheduled to be launched in April 2019. A significant amount of content on the existing website was audited and refreshed by following strict style guidelines. The Communications and IT teams have been working diligently over the past year to code, edit, organize and design the website. The new CIM website will follow similar branding across CIM’s digital channels with a focus on being modern and easy to navigate and engage with.

After listening to the concerns of constituents and their need for new opportunities to engage and connect with each other, CIM has been working throughout 2018 to launch a community engagement platform to address this challenge. This community engagement platform will be called CIM Link: the online community for mining professionals.

BRANCH AND SOCIETY WEBSITES Through a continuing effort to strengthen the CIM brand and give CIM websites a unified look, CIM continues to build and launch websites to support Branches and Societies. These websites offer Branch and Society administrators the freedom to input and customize information, events and pictures.

CIM Link will be a great forum for sharing knowledge and expertise across a broad spectrum of topics. Members can network with each other and find peers in similar industries and professions through the Member Directory, access exclusive opportunities from Corporate Members and create and join discussions on a myriad of topics. Branches and Societies will have access to communities in which they can notify members of upcoming events and opportunities, and have Branch or Society specific discussions.

New websites created for Branches and Societies: • Branches: Oil Sands, GTA West • Societies: Environmental and Social Responsibility Society, Management and Economics Society

CHANGES AT THE

CIM NATIONAL OFFICE GETTING ORIENTED CIM understands and values the critical roles that volunteer CIM Officers, such as Council members and Branch, Society and Committee executives, play. In order to better prepare them for their role, a new orientation manual was rolled out and a comprehensive session was held in advance of the Annual General Meeting. CIM also initiated quarterly calls with District Vice Presidents to share information and coordinate best practices. First steps were taken to better define the roles and responsibilities of the District VPs as well as to put in place mechanisms for the election of successors.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TITLE CHANGES TO CEO In January 2018, Angela Hamlyn officially took her position as the Executive Director (ED) of CIM. After a recommendation by the Governance Committee, the CIM Council changed the title of Executive Director to Chief Executive Officer. The new title better reflects the operational and leadership role held by Hamlyn. She is the first CEO of CIM.

CIM STUDENT CHAPTER GUIDE A new Student Chapter guide was completed at the end of 2018, in an effort to provide students with a compact and informative handbook to forming and running a CIM Student Chapter. The Student Chapter guides will be distributed to currently existing Student Chapters in 2019.

letter from the incoming president

TOGETHER, WE CAN AND WILL MAKE A

DIFFERENCE About 20 years ago, I visited our sister company in Johannesburg, South Africa. The Cementation Company in South Africa had a long and storied past and was the pre-eminent mine contractor in Africa. Alistair Douglas was the Managing Director and a great role model for any relatively young engineer aspiring to run a contracting company. Douglas was also the President of the South African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (SAIMM).

CIM CEO Angela Hamlyn and her team are very motivated and knowledgeable, and it will be my privilege to work closely with them to help fulfill their strategic goals.

I thought to myself at the time, “I can’t imagine CIM ever having a mining contractor as President.”

Thank you for the contribution of your valuable personal time. It is a great way of giving back to this industry that has given so much to each of us and the society we live in.

After this short segue, I would like to say that it is a great honour for me to assume the role of President of CIM.

We will continue to acknowledge the efforts of the many volunteers that make up our Branches, Societies, Committees and events, and make CIM work as a truly national organization.

My upcoming term as President of CIM means many things to me. I am very proud of our industry and it is a great honour to help represent our leading technical organization of professionals. As our previous leadership has navigated the cycles, the Incoming President Elect, Samantha Espley, and I, have a chance to build on the solid foundation that Michael Winship, Ken Thomas and Janice Zinck have built for all of us. Driving the concept of OneCIM forward means that together, we can and will make a difference.

Roy Slack Incoming President
