CIM – The Community for Leading Industry Expertise ong before the dawn of the modern-day concept of the social network, CIM has served as an invaluable conduit for personal and professional interaction among members of the Canadian mining and minerals community. For 115 years, it has served as a wellspring of new thoughts and ideas, an incubator for innovation, and the foremost voice for the advancement of leading industry expertise through its technical meetings, world-class events and award-winning publications.

Still, CIM remains true to its core objectives to: • Facilitate the exchange of knowledge and technology • Foster networking, professional development and fraternity • Recognize excellence and outstanding achievements Drawing upon the broad range of skills and specialized knowledge that serves as the foundation of our 10 technical societies and more than 35 branches, CIM members are shaping the quality, safety, productivity and sustainability of the mining and minerals industries. Now bolstered by improved business processes and expanded membership and IT support capabilities at the national office, CIM is able to respond more promptly and effectively to the requests and needs of both its members and external constituents. We are also bringing the CIM brand beyond our borders, partnering with international sister societies, Canadian and foreign government representatives, academic institutions and various communities of interest, to create a new global dynamic in networking, technological advancement and knowledge exchange. No matter where our volunteer members are situated, they remain the bedrock of our community. Our growth and development is a testimony to their engagement, widespread expertise and diverse perspectives.

President’s Remarks

Our growing community n the economic front, 2012 saw world economies continue to recover from the global crisis of 2008. By the end of the year, the U.S. had avoided the fiscal cliff and housing starts were increasing. Europe – after near-death experiences in Greece, Italy and Spain – was stabilizing, and China was moving back to eight per cent GDP growth. This bodes well for the mining and metallurgical industry, which should see a resumption of increased demand going forward into 2013 and beyond. However, uncertainty persists! The risk inherent in our industry was apparent as major mining companies saw important writedowns of their asset values due to ill-timed acquisitions or to increasing capital costs and performance issues related to expansion projects. As the premier technical society for mining industry professionals, CIM is well placed to support both corporate and individual members as they navigate these turbulent and changing times. We accomplish this primarily by putting on first-rate technical meetings, providing high-quality publications and offering strong networking opportunities for mining professionals. CIM Magazine and the CIM Journal have become essential reading and our newly launched website (www.cim.org) provides easy access to important events, information and people.

Turning to the highlights of the past year, the financial results for 2012 are very positive, driven by increased event and advertising revenues. We had a very successful annual conference and exhibition in Edmonton and are looking forward with great anticipation to the 2013 CIM Convention in Toronto. Membership in CIM has reached the record level of more than 14,400 members, including over 210 corporate members, and membership revenues have risen by 29 per cent over the last two years. Given that 70 per cent of Canadian-owned mining assets are located outside of Canada, CIM has adopted an international development strategy. To serve our members globally, an international district was created for Africa and new branches have been established in Dakar (Senegal) and Lima (Peru). Finally, in order to improve communications and strengthen ties with the branches, CIM is in the process of restructuring into three districts – East, Centre and West – with each district having two VPs, who will be supported by CIM ambassadors. In conclusion, CIM is alive and well and has now been in existence for 115 years. At the upcoming CIM Convention in Toronto, we will launch a review of CIM’s strategic plan in order to map out the way forward for the next 10 years. Our past and ongoing success comes from our dedicated volunteers, such as those who are active at our branches and societies, sit on CIM’s Council, participate in various committees, serve as peer reviewers, present at our world-class conferences, and last, but surely not least, our dynamic national office staff in Montreal. I thank them all! I extend a warm welcome to Robert (Bob) Schafer, your CIM president for 2013-14. It was an honour and a privilege serving as CIM president, and I look forward to continuing to contribute to CIM – the Community for Leading Industry Expertise.

Growth & global leadership he past year saw a great many developments, numerous discoveries and major progress in areas key to the long-term growth and sustainability of CIM.

Two significant areas of development were in the areas of business processes and membership services. Just two years ago, the CIM National Office did not have either an IT or membership department; these were largely functional, handled primarily by our administrative group. On the membership side, we have since made considerable improvements in retention and witnessed a growth in both the number of members and revenues. On the IT side, with the integration of a new state-of-the art system, we now have a much better “engine” to handle the transactions for our products and services, and to provide key tools to assist volunteers. In the time since the CIM website went live in July 2012, we have gained increased confidence in the system and are certain it will evolve into a valued resource that people regularly turn to for knowledge, complementing our print publications (CIM Magazine and CIM Journal), Technical Paper Library and world-class conferences and events. The past 12 months also saw a solidifying of our relationship with some of the world’s other leading learned mining societies, the results of which are already proving very valuable. The needs and the appetite for what our industry provides are global. The resources available are too scarce and too limited for each of us to work in silos. The foundation, processes and valuable connections we are putting in place will enable us to collaborate more closely on projects. The advances being made on the Global Mining Standards front are one solid result of this, as is the continued commitment for working together on international events. Globally, we have witnessed positive outcomes from our strategic decision to expand our international presence to Latin America and Africa, with a particular focus on Francophone and West Africa. Canadian mining companies, suppliers and our government are all

CIM COUNCIL 2012-13 joining forces with us to facilitate the transfer of knowledge and the promotion of best practices abroad, and to provide better business environments and opportunities for Canadian organizations. We are also enjoying increases in international membership and delegates at our CIM events in Canada. Acquiring and maintaining a solid and substantive international presence is a challenge for any learned societies – the societies that have succeeded in becoming global all testify to this. CIM is at a crossroad and is traversing that road with confidence. We have witnessed the assimilation or demise of Canadian learned societies in other sectors that did not make the strategic decision to go global. CIM is determined that this will not be the case on the mining landscape. Whatever shape the evolution of the new global mining leadership group takes, CIM will be front and centre, and a solid player within. To do this well will still require further changes, courage and leadership. In the area of leadership, I am very proud of all that CIM has accomplished, including the development and rollout of the CIM Leading in Mining program, which celebrated the successful graduation of its first cohort this past year. We have also made solid progress towards the inclusion of more youth and the promotion of greater diversity in our industry, and set the stage for our annual CIM Convention 2013, whose theme – “Global Leadership: the courage to change” – says it all. Thank you all for a successful, rewarding and at times tumultuous 12 months. Against the current global backdrop, it appears that the next few years are likely to be similarly challenging. Growth – while good – is one of the most difficult things to manage. Growth born from development, rather than simple organic expansion, is even more difficult to manage, as it necessitates the need for speed, innovation, experimentation and, equally importantly, the ability to learn from mistakes. But if there is one thing we in the mining industry know about, it is the complex process of exploration, discovery and even failure. So if there is one sector that is well-equipped to handle such growth it is mining, and never has the global economy needed it so much. Finally, many thanks to all of the CIM staff, Council members and our countless (and invaluable) volunteers and corporate supporters. Your unbounded energy, loyalty and participation are at the very heart of what we do.

We are CIM

Membership Strength in Numbers The collective power of our volunteers is the root of CIM’s evolution and success. Our branches, societies and student chapters rely on these dedicated individuals who work diligently towards CIM’s objectives. We are thankful for their invaluable contribution towards the institute’s mission. In an effort to improve the efficiency and the caliber of the service we provide to our members, a great deal of emphasis was placed on improving the management and processes around our membership services in 2012. We are confident these changes will help us establish a solid foundation that will enable us to support our continued growth and the increases in membership that we anticipate. In April 2012, we made the decision to dedicate a resource towards monitoring renewal notices and supporting retention. This initiative has contributed significantly to the 29 per cent increase in membership revenues in 2012. The continuous improvement of the quality of our service remains one of our top priorities. To help accomplish this, we developed a new management tool for local administrators (such as branches and societies). Additionally, an improved version of the “One Membership” program – scheduled for implementation mid-2013 – should help strengthen and unify the CIM community and facilitate the efforts of our volunteers. Our objective is to offer a range of services to support the work of our volunteers. In addition to membership retention – which will remain a priority in 2013 – several other initiatives are currently under development for implementation in the coming year. To accomplish this, a resource was recently added to provide greater support to our branches, to enhance the value of our affinity program offering, to optimize our website systems and capabilities, and to improve our efficiency.

Throughout the year, CIM has worked towards expanding member services that help enhance our corporate members’ visibility and recognize their organizations as leaders within our industry. New services in 2012 include: The CIM Source Guide – our newly designed print version of the former CIM Directory features our corporate members’ logos and company profiles; the Corporate Member section of the website – online profiles with links to company websites; Priority Points program – offers a priority appointment to reserve booth location at our events; enhanced visibility at our annual CIM Conventions.

This past September, the CIM National Office staff were given an opportunity to visit two mine sites in northern Quebec: Agnico-Eagle Mines’ Lapa underground operation in Val-d’Or and Osisko’s Canadian Malartic open-pit mine in Malartic. The trip, attended by 23 staff, provided a glimpse of the daily workings of a mine, allowing participants to develop an enhanced understanding of the industry they serve. It was made possible by Agnico-Eagle and Osisko staff, and Air Creebec, which provided transportation.

Creating connections Our deep connection to our local mining communities is what distinguishes CIM. With over 35 active branches, currently grouped within six districts across Canada and one international district, CIM Branches represent a wide range of sectors and reflect the diversity of the communities they serve, while addressing the local needs of our members. CIM Membership is the entry point to a global community of leading industry expertise – a community of peers, partners and experts who can help them grow their career and business. We help our members at every level of their career path, from students to young professionals just entering the industry or academia, to senior executives guiding their organizations or institutions.

Branching out In 2012, we continued to build our branch network in Canada and abroad with the addition of three new branches and the creation of an African district to support CIM’s international developments on that continent. The three new branches included: • Amos (Quebec) Branch in January 2012 • Dakar (Senegal) Branch in October 2012 – the launch of CIM’s first African Branch was announced during Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s official visit to Dakar, Senegal. • Lima (Peru) Branch in November 2012

Cyber membership

Specifically designed for industry professionals residing outside of North America, CIM Cyber Membership provides direct access to esteemed professionals and global expertise through the institute’s extensive information resources. This will become an increasingly valuable asset as CIM continues with its international development plans.

Empowering our branches – One Membership Developed to build solidarity, streamline operations and actively engage branches within our organization, CIM One Membership reduces our branch volunteers’ workloads and gives them the opportunity to explore growth strategies and effective outreach projects. In 2012, we moved forward in our One Membership initiative and developed a new membership management system to meet the needs of our local branches, which is expected to be available in 2013.

A new structure In late December 2012, CIM Council passed a resolution proposing CIM’s sixdistrict structure to be reconfigured to three districts. This also resulted in a revision of the governance structure. Each of the three districts will have two vicepresidents serving two-year, overlapping terms. The vice-presidents will also be supported by “ambassadors” – a new role created to support the vice-presidents. These changes are scheduled to take effect in May 2013.

Finance & Administration Backbone of CIM National Office The Finance and Administration Department is an integral part of the CIM machine. The workload in the department steadily grew throughout 2012 due to: the increase in the number and scale of both CIM events and international events on which CIM partners, as well as an increase in services offered to CIM branches – such as bringing the handling of their finances in-house. The four-person team also handles the finances for the Canada Mining Innovation Council, the Canadian Mining and Metallurgical Foundation, and the Global Mining and Standards Group. With a goal of providing its employees with an enjoyable and productive environment in which to work, where they can experience a sense of achievement and contribution, in 2012 CIM National produced a HR Guidelines and Reference Handbook. Also, to ensure that the organization is in accordance with the Quebec Government’s Pay Equity Act, CIM enlisted the services of the Hay Group, which began the process of reviewing National Office job descriptions and salaries. The Canada Not-for-Profit Corporations Act requires all federal not-for-profit entities to comply with a new set of rules. CIM, created under a Special Act of Parliament, falls under a grandfather clause that does not require it to transit to the new act.

Publications & Media New pages The year was one of evolution and expansion for the Publications and Media Department, including changes to the editorial team; the introduction of a new product (CIM Source Guide); the publication of a special Uranium-themed issue of CIM Journal; and the decision to expand CIM Magazine from eight to nine issues. We also published our first Special Report (“Mining in Quebec”) in the November issue of CIM Magazine. In January 2013, Ryan Bergen became the editor-in-chief of CIM Magazine and CIM Journal, freeing Angela Hamlyn to focus on expanding the organization’s communications and media mandates. Andrea Nichiporuk took the role of managing editor and past-intern Herb Mathisen joined the department as a section editor. We also took bold new steps into the digital world with the launch of an online version of CIM Magazine (available in both English and French) that enables reader feedback, and the revamping of our Technical Paper Library – now powered by a custom-built engine with enhanced search capabilities – both developments made possible with the mid-year launch of the new CIM website.

Readers respond CIM Magazine’s latest 2012 reader survey results indicate that we are still the industry’s go-to resource for mining news: • NINE OUT OF 10 respondents find CIM Magazine’s content a valuable source of information • 75 PER CENT of respondents report the content is relevant to their profession • 62 PER CENT visit a website after reading the magazine • Two thirds keep the magazine for future use and 65 PER CENT refer back to an issue – up to five times per year • 54 PER CENT pass it on to someone else

Edmonton 2012 CIM Convention: Job Fair

Events Growth in size, reach and influence 2012 was a year of growth – both in knowledge and new skills – for the Events Department. In addition to producing the annual CIM Convention, our six event staff members now plan many society events, topic-specific conferences, special events, cohosted programs, exhibitions and meetings – all for the benefit of our members, the mining community at large and stakeholders involved or interested in the various stages and aspects of mining. In recent years, CIM’s increasing international visibility has resulted in a growing number and variety of outside sources –such as academic and research institutions, sister organizations and other associations – turning to CIM to host and produce niche conferences, international conventions and congresses. This has extended CIM’s reach and influence around the globe. CIM is increasingly recognized for its expertise in planning and effectively delivering strategic industry gatherings. This necessitates that we continually re-evaluate the needs and requests for knowledge based on geography and demographics.

Target marketing to masses As CIM grows in size and diversity, our target audiences are sub-segmenting constantly. As a result, the integration of a comprehensive and strategic marketing strategy has become an integral component of our event management. Not only have we diversified the messages and means by which we deliver them, but we are also building new and

remote “knowledge communities” that are discussing issues, making valuable contributions to program topics, and promoting best practices from anywhere in the world – before, during and after an event.

Knowledge without borders By modelling CIM events, we are able to further serve as an even more effective mechanism through which we deliver on one of the institute’s core missions – gathering and disseminating knowledge. By providing a dynamic networking environment for thousands, our events help foster CIM’s mandate as the community for leading industry expertise. Bringing on-site and remote attendees together through technology transcends previous barriers for knowledge sharing, which is especially critical for our technical programs that continue to be at the heart of all CIM conferences.

Business and beyond The CIM Exhibition and Job Fair is where the business of mining happens in Canada. While thousands participate and visit the CIM Exhibition each year, the waiting list of companies seeking to take part grows. In 2012, there were more than 300 companies on our waiting list!

Information Technology All systems go! 2012 was a pivotal year for CIM on the information systems and technology front. All of the systems in support of operations were replaced to make way for state-of-the art technology. Changes of such great magnitude bring challenges in all organizations, and CIM is certainly no exception. Despite a few hiccups and delays along the way, we can be very proud of all we accomplished over the past year. All of the following systems that were implemented in the various business units are operating and are on track to be fully integrated: Microsoft Dynamics GP (Accounting); Aptify (Member Management Software); Sitecore (Web Content Management System); Expocad (Online management for commercial tradeshow booths); SharePoint (Document Management System).

A fresh new face The launch of the new, completely revamped CIM Newly redesigned CIM homepage website in July 2012 was definitely the most visible aspect of the extensive IT changes to the national office systems. Even though the access and functionality may appear to be similar for most members, the elimination of data replication and the necessity of re-keying data from one system to another have resulted in much greater efficiency and the ability to increase the volume of transactions for the national office staff. The systems put in place also reduced the organization’s dependence on an external third-party web provider that CIM had engaged for over a decade. This autonomy has certainly allowed us greater control and flexibility, which will increase as our system becomes completely independent in 2013, enabling CIM to rely on our own internal IT resources to support and develop our current and future operations. During 2013 and 2014, the IT team will also continue the forward momentum towards the integration of key functional components including the management of: events, communications, publications, the Technical Paper Library, membership, business strategy, human resources, and accounting.

Social Media CIM goes viral CIM entered the realm of social media in 2012, building communities on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook. The institute used social media channels to reach a global audience, to share expertise, to provide a forum for discussion on topical industry issues, and to promote events. Profiles on all three social media channels were created and managed at the CIM National Office. The fastest growing channel – LinkedIn – has attracted over 9,000 members to date, 60 per cent of whom are in the mining and metals industry and 25 per cent of whom occupy a senior position. The CIM Group hosted a range of discussions where members engaged on topics ranging from technical advancements and best practices to sharing achievements. CIM’s Facebook fan page attracted over 500 fans from countries including Canada, Pakistan and Peru, and featured content on local industry events, employment and scholarship opportunities for students, and professional development advice. The fan page was also used as a venue to share information about the institute’s activities, including posting CIM Magazine articles to attract new readers.

CIM Magazine staff also participated in the organization’s social media activity by creating individual Twitter accounts that were used to promote magazine content, to stay on top of industry trends and to identify sources for future stories. Magazine editors’ Twitter content was shared by industry professionals, effectively increasing unique page views of articles on the website and building a wider readership. Events in which CIM and some of its societies played an active role were promoted across social media platforms by event marketing firm Creativesenses. LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter were utilized to raise event visibility, increase and broaden attendance, grow engagement with participants, create hype around the events and build partnership opportunities on local, national and international levels. Social media campaigns were created for the Sixth International Conference and Exhibition on Mass Mining (MassMin2012) and the 51st Annual Conference of Metallurgists (COM2012). The campaigns played a major role in helping surpass participant targets for MassMin2012, which were exceeded by 136 per cent. On Twitter alone, the MassMin2012 profile reached an audience of nearly 25,000 industry professionals. Content was focused on the technical program, registration information, exhibitor details and sponsor recognition, and was updated several times per week leading up to the event. Social media campaigns for three 2013 events were launched in October 2012. Creativesenses is managing the promotion of the 2013 CIM Convention (TO13), the 23rd World Mining Congress and its sister show, the 30th International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in Construction. Performance of the campaigns is being tracked, and online engagement is picking up pace. Content sharing by followers, such as The Mosaic Company, which communicated event details to its 1,400 followers, is helping the campaign reach a broad, international audience.

Sustaining the Industry

Corporate Social Responsibility CIM reflects the importance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) for its members by promoting the integration of responsible practices into all of their activities. The 2012 CIM Convention featured a CSR-focused plenary session as well as an entire track of the technical program dedicated to the field. Both were developed in cooperation with the CIM Environmental and Social Responsibility Society (ESRS). The CIM Convention also included a sustainability-themed pavilion as part of its Mining for Society (M4S) public educational show. In cooperation with the Mining Association of Canada (MAC), CIM held workshops on MAC’s Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) program and on their Guide to the Management of Tailings Facilities. CIM underscored the importance of diversity through the Women in Mining (WIM) forum and a workshop under the aboriginal initiative, Learning Together. CIM recognizes excellence and leadership in sustainability through its annual Syncrude Award for Excellence in Sustainable Development, which is presented to individuals, communities, organizations, corporations or academics working for positive sustainability effects in all industry sectors across Canada. In 2012, CIM nominated Chris Twigge-Molecey as a CIM Distinguished Lecturer for the 2013-14 season, who will present on conflict minerals in CSR. CSR is a field often covered in CIM Magazine and is an important component of Leading in Mining – CIM’s leadership development program. It is also at the core of the institute’s international development activities. For example, in November 2012, CIM sponsored two research projects on local supply chains and governance in Senegal, West Africa, in collaboration with Montreal’s Hautes Études Commerciales (HEC) and the Centre Africain d’Études Supérieures en Gestion (CESAG). CIM is also a strategic partner of the international coalition led by the University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University and École Polytechnique, and selected by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) last November to operate the new Canadian International Institute for Extractive Industries and Development (CIIEID) announced by Prime Minister Stephen Harper in 2011.

The Centre for Excellence in CSR CIM serves as the Secretariat of the Centre for Excellence in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) – a Government of Canada initiative announced in May 2009 as one of the four pillars of the government’s strategy on CSR – and provides a coordinator for the centre who is based at the national office. In line with its goal to help the extractive industry improve its social and environmental practices, the centre hosts face-to-face multi-stakeholder dialogues to develop an inventory of leading CSR resources and to encourage practitioner dialogue and exchange through a web-based portal. Working committees advance the work of the centre between executive committee meetings. Following the success of its workshops on CSR in early exploration and on the implications of the Guiding Principles for Implementation of the UN Framework for CSR in the Canadian extractive sector, the centre held a workshop on transparency in Ottawa in February 2012. A second, more extensive workshop on this topic was held jointly with PricewaterhouseCoopers at the 2012 CIM Convention. The centre embarked on the development of guidelines from a multi-stakeholder perspective on the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the OECD Multinational Enterprise Guidelines, and the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights. The centre’s Progress and 2012 Priorities Report is available on the centre’s website (www.cim.org/csr).

April 2012 marked the end of the federal government’s provision of the core funding for the centre through the Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada’s (DFAIT) Global Peace & Security Fund (GPSF). The executive committee is reviewing organizational and funding models to help the centre adapt to this financial restraint.

International development: CIM expands global reach The expansion of CIM’s international profile was among CIM’s top priorities for 2012. The institute responded to our members’ growing need to be present in the global arena by establishing partnerships with international organizations and government bodies in key regions, namely West Africa and Latin America. We were involved in a variety of significant multinational initiatives, collaborating on and hosting an array of global industry events – in Canada and abroad – and opened two new CIM branches and one new chapter outside of Canada. Close collaboration with the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT) and the Government of Canada’s Trade Commissioners Service allowed the institute to connect with local governments and industry stakeholders on the ground in Senegal, Guinea, Mali and Côte d’Ivoire, and to support industry and member needs for a strong supply chain in West Africa. Meeting with local government officials, such as Augusto Morelli, head of Peru’s consular post in Vancouver, and deputy Armando Ludena, enabled the institute to identify common goals for the industry’s development.

CIM also joined forces with various organizations located outside of our borders to encourage the exchange of knowledge and best practices. For example, the Global Mining Professional Alliance (GMPA) – composed of CIM, the Society for Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration (SME), the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AUSIMM), and the Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (SAIMM) – began work to support global industry needs by collaborating on a number of projects.

To build its international profile presence in the industry, CIM has been participating in, as well as actively and successfully obtaining, hosting privileges for a multitude of international events. In January, CIM held in the First Precious Metals Investment Summit in Dubai, forging ties with the Middle East Trade Development Agency. In June, CIM hosted the Sixth International Conference & Exhibition on Mass Mining (MassMin 2012), attracting over 900 attendees. In October, the institute partnered with SME on the Second Annual Safety and Responsibility Conference, which was held in Minneapolis. The CIM Third Annual China Mining Finance and Capital Markets Conference was held in Beijing in November and received a warm reception. Active collaboration with international organizations and participation in global events created an appetite for CIM presence on the ground in other jurisdictions, leading to the creation of two new CIM branches: in Lima, Peru, and in Dakar, Senegal. Also, a chapter of the Management and Economic Society of CIM (MES) was opened in Hong Kong. The new branches have established CIM’s territorial presence by hosting events that brought international companies operating in the region and local government representatives together around the common goal of defining affordable strategies to increase efficiency and profitability, while mitigating risks. International CIM branch activity included two well-attended events at the Lima, Peru branch: the official branch opening ceremony, held on November 12, drew many high-profile mining sector professionals, and government representatives including Canada’s Minister of State of Foreign Affairs Diane Ablonczy. Innovation in Mining 2013: Latin America, the Lima branch’s inaugural event which was held from November 20 to 30, also attracted a lot of attention and featured speakers from Norway, Canada, the U.S., Argentina and Peru. The event was sponsored by Golder, Barrick, Antamina, Newmont, SNC-Lavalin, Hatch, Anglo, SGS, and local mining and mining support businesses. In the coming year, CIM will continue to develop its international presence, focusing on opportunities in West Africa and Latin America.

M4S in Edmonton 2012

M4S – Mining 4 Society The public educational show on Mining, Minerals, Metals and Materials expands CIM’s highly acclaimed M4S (Mining 4 Society) show educates thousands of people across the country annually – including students and the general public. Since mining is only one aspect of the intricate cycle, the show also incorporates the positive contribution made by minerals, metals and materials as well, demonstrating the positive impact of the sector on daily life.

What an experience! M4S is offered free of charge as a means of increasing public knowledge of the entire mining cycle – from exploration and extraction to processing and reclamation. The interactive activities at each of the thematic pavilions make for an enjoyable, educative and unforgettable experience. In addition, with over 145,000 jobs to fill in our sector by year 2023, M4S allows CIM to showcase varied careers available directly and indirectly in the mining industry. During the show’s eight years, M4S has been held in conjunction with the annual CIM Convention in May and has greeted tens of thousands of visitors. In recent years, societies and branches have also requested to have editions of the event tailored and integrated into their programs – with great success.

A growing demand The demand for such free interactive events – especially in remote communities – has come to exceed the means and resources at hand. In 2012, we were able to add one M4S show to our lineup – which took place in Quebec City in conjunction with Québec Mines for all. CIM is frequently asked to broaden M4S’s reach and provide easier access to more people. Industry continues to reaffirm the importance of M4S, motivating staff to reevaluate the model towards diversification and feasibility.

Regardless of how the M4S message is delivered, the primary objective remains to provide factual information in an educative, enjoyable and engaging context. When people understand how activities of the mining cycle enhance their lives, they can also more readily appreciate the measures adopted by industry to ensure sustainable mining practices at each stage of the cycle.

“Wow, it's like the Olympics of mining. Thanks for including us this year, it was great!” – Frank Sabino, teacher

Educating pays off but it costs. CIM finances the bulk of all costs involved to produce M4S shows, including school transportation; exhibitors participate for free. The cost to produce one show ranges from $70,000 to $150,000. Years of partial support from various sponsors and partners has made M4S possible. However, dedicated and significant funding has yet to be confirmed, which limits our potential to fully carry out the M4S mission. In cooperation with leading industry partners, government, mining companies and suppliers, as well as with the support of the Canadian Mining and Metallurgical Foundation (CMMF), CIM is investigating ways in which it can vary the M4S model and add online resources to complement the current show format . Only sustained and sufficient funding would allow the M4S team to develop exciting new educational M4S 2012 materials, community-specific activities and online resources that can help expand its inspiring message to go beyond informing. With 10 technical societies and over 35 branches, our members have an opportunity to help shape, lead and connect Canada’s mining industry with society – both within our borders and across the globe.

CIM also launched an exciting new leadership development program tailored for mining professionals in February 2012. CIM’s Leading in Mining is a 12-month program that fosters real-time transformation in leadership behaviour and enhanced development. Spearheaded by CIM past-president Chuck Edwards, the program was developed in collaboration with Executive Works president Rosie Steeves. The program is comprised of three intensive workshops and extensive personality and leadership assessments. In between workshops, participants are coached and develop coaching skills, complete journals, and hold online discussion groups geared towards developing leadership skills. They also perform a leadership analysis following a mine site visit. Leading in Mining is unique in that it is industry-specific, includes participants from a variety of organizations and encourages a hierarchical mix, all of which helps facilitate vertical growth and development. The first cohort was a success: participants feel better equipped to reflect on their leadership, develop a vision, and face the challenges of today’s global industry. A second Leading in Mining cohort is scheduled to commence in May 2013 in Toronto. With Leading in Mining, CIM hopes to create a community of leaders that will spearhead a positive evolution in leadership behaviour throughout the industry.

The Canadian Mining & Metallurgical Foundation

Distinguished Lecturers 2012-13 SEASON

The Canadian Mining and Metallurgical Foundation (CMMF) was founded in 1972, and is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to promoting and supporting education as well as best practices in the many facets of the mining world. Through a variety of activities and programs, the foundation promotes mining as an enviable career option at all levels from primary school to University. Although a separate legal entity from CIM, CMMF was established and continues to be funded by CIM Individual Members. CMMF had a busy and landmark year. In partnership with different organizations across Canada, the foundation launched the Mineral Card Project: collections of informative mineral photo-cards designed for primary and high school students. The first set of cards depicts minerals from around the world. This set was distributed to teachers, and individual cards with access to the online site were given to students at CIM’s Mining for Society (M4S) educational fair held during the 2012 CIM Convention. The Mineral Card Project became the point of reference for CMMF’s mandate: to promote industry and support education. Following the creation of this initial set of cards, many other collaborative endeavours were organized to promote prominent Canadian collections and to showcase some of our countries’ finest minerals. Thanks to the support of generous sponsors and donors, the mineral cards are available free of charge to educators, students and the general public at www.cmmf72.org/mineral cards. CMMF also began touring with M4S, showcasing the Mineral Card Project and providing students with the opportunity to see the important role minerals play in their daily lives. In addition to the CIM Convention, CMMF participated in the M4S fair held at Québec Mines. It also participated in the CIM Exhibition, MassMin Conference, and COM 2012, offering information about the foundation, its mandate, its programs and its activities. In line with its mission to raise funds to promote the mining industry and educational activities, in addition to the Annual Campaign, CMMF has added hosting silent auctions to its growing fundraising activities. The foundation continued to award scholarships to deserving mining students and helped establish two new scholarships for CIM’s Montreal Branch. These two new scholarships will be awarded to students studying mining in the province of Quebec In 2012, the Hydrometallurgy Society, the Canadian Mineral Processors Society and the CIM Montreal Branch decided to use CMMF as a vehicle through which to administer their scholarships. CMMF is currently in discussions with other CIM constituents to offer its services for the management of their funds.

Industry Standards CIM has long been in a leadership position in our contribution to the development and articulation of industry standards and best practices in the areas of: mineral resource and mineral reserve definition; estimation best practice guidelines; and mineral evaluation and reporting. With the increasing globalization of the mining industry, international reporting standards and definitions have been developing at a rapid pace, with many countries and organizations establishing their own systems. In 2012, CIM continued its efforts towards the harmonization of international Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve definitions. These efforts were greatly facilitated by CIM’s representative on the Committee for Mineral Reserves International Reporting Standards (CRIRSCO), Deborah McCombe, who is also currently serving as the CRIRSCO chairperson. Paul Bankes also represents CRIRSCO and CIM on the United Nations Expert Group on Resource Classification. During 2012, the CIM – Standing Committee prepared an updated committee mandate and terms of reference and continued working with the technical staff from the Canadian Securities Administrators, answering concerns associated with possible Li-brine reserve and resource definitions. The CIM – Standing Committee on Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Definitions also completed an update of all of the CIM definitions and guidance referenced by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. Proposed changes to the definitions reflect requests for clarification and guidance from industry, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) and international organizations. The CIM – Standing Committee will begin a 90-day period of consultation with industry and CIM members on May 5, 2013.The committee plans to ask the CIM Council to approve final definitions in late 2013.

The CIM – Estimation Best Practice Guidelines Committee, led by Garth Kirkham, also published several updates on best practice guidelines over the past year. Both Best Practices and Guidance for Mineral Processors Completion and Estimation Best Practices for Brine Resources and Reserves were reviewed by the committee and published. Also, the CIM – Estimation Best Practice Guidelines Committee worked on the development of Estimation Best Practices for Potash – an initiative that is still in progress. The CIM – Special Committee on the Valuation of Mineral Properties (CIMVal) continues to set internationally recognized mining valuation standards; compliance with the committee being required by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange as well as the Toronto Stock Exchange – Venture. CIMVal was revamped in 2012, with co-chairs continuing to be Keith Spence and William Roscoe, but with a new secretary: Eden Oliver. The committee continues to include members from a mix of disciplines, all of whom are involved in mining valuation. CIMVal is part of global efforts to have convergence among the key international mining valuation standards and is working with organizations in Australia, South Africa, the U.K. and the U.S., as part of the International Mining Valuations Committee (IMVAL). IMVAL is expected to have a draft document in 2013. Once IMVAL establishes international convergence, CIMVal will tackle the process of revising the Standards and Guidelines.

Global Mining Standards and Guidelines Group (GMSG) This past year saw the official launch of the Global Mining Standards and Guidelines Group (GMSG) – an international organization for the mining community to endorse, advocate, facilitate, collaborate, educate, communicate research and develop mining industry standards and guidelines for use by mining stakeholders, with the aim of improving operational and financial performance. Part of CIM’s Surface Mining Society (SMS), GMSG utilized the society’s funds as seed money. Its scope includes safety, systems, technology methods, measures, and operating practices and procedures. In its first year, GMSG focused on establishing and building the foundations of the organization to pave the way for concrete projects to move forward in 2013. That being said, GMSG has already realized a number of tangible accomplishments including survey results and a prototype design for a common user interface for large shovels, not to mention a fast-growing global network that is bringing together a community of experts from around the world and from a variety of backgrounds. Over the past year three additional partner organizations – the Society of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, and the Surface Mining Association for Research and Technology – have joined CIM in providing support, along with the following companies: Total E&P, Shell Canada, Barrick Gold, Hitachi, Syncrude Canada, www.globalminingstandards.org Suncor, Vale, 3D-P, Mosaic, Goldcorp, AgnicoEagle, Joy Global (P&H), Newmont, Teck, Freeport McMoRan, Jigsaw Leica, Kinross Gold, Liebherr, Wenco, Kal-Tire, Mining Information Systems (MIS), KGHMi, RungePincockMinarco, SAP, and Atlas Copco.

Four years ago, CIM developed a blueprint laying out a plan for modernization and growth that has proven to be very productive. It enables us to bring our staffing, information resources and business processes into the 21st century. As a result of this strategic exercise, we identified ourselves as “The Community for Leading Industry Expertise,” and all of our activities since have been advanced to achieve this goal. During 2013-14, CIM will re-energize our strategic efforts. We will not be reinventing our strategic plan because it remains as relevant as ever, but rather, we will be looking at it through a fresh lens to help us define new and improve ways in which we can do our business “a better way.” At the end of this process, “a better way” will lead to an action plan that consolidates our expertise and best practices within the CIM community – including our members, committees, branches, societies, industry partners and supporters – so that we could maximize our core values over time, using all of the resources at hand through the facilitation of the volunteer leadership and the professional staff. In addition to focusing the energies of our membership, societies and financial supporters within CIM, we are also seeking to expand Canadian leadership in mining beyond our borders. CIM is engaged in dialogues with sister societies and institutes in several countries, paving the way for greater communication and the exchange of ideas and technologies. This will assure that the implementation of the high standards of performance demanded at our domestic operations will be translated to mines and jurisdictions around the globe. In addition, we will explore ways for sharing many member benefits across these mining societies. In the end, we can help improve operational efficiencies, environmental stewardship, education and outreach, community responsibility and governmental transparency across the global minerals industry, thereby solidifying our ability to earn the social licence to operate wherever we wish to do business. We hope to complete a basic multilateral agreement for cooperation among these institutes by the end of 2013. In 2013, in Canada, CIM will also undergo a restructuring, reducing the number of its districts from six to three. Each district will be represented by two vice-presidents who will serve overlapping, staggered two-year terms. In addition, a new role was developed for CIM “ambassadors.” This will be an honorary role to be held by long-standing members of the institute who have been active at a national level on council and/or

through the societies. They will be individuals who are knowledgeable about district and national activities and interests, who desire to remain active in a support and mentoring role to the district vice-presidents, and occasionally, who will serve as the representative at branch or district activities and events. The combined efforts of the two vicepresidents and ambassadors will help improve the connection and communication between the CIM National Office and the branches, bringing greater value to membership in the institute. In addition, we plan to hold a CIM Leadership Congress in May 2014, in conjunction with the annual CIM Convention that will bring branch, district, society and council leaders together to address the business of the institute. It will also include an orientation and mentoring program for leaders – on all levels. We seek to make this a regular event at our annual convention. The strong interest in green mining technology and emerging technologies that require utilization of rare earths and other minerals will enable us to provide more content in these areas while working in close collaboration with Natural Resources Canada and the Canada Mining Innovation Council. The strong emerging business case for diversity, coupled with indications of the high value CIM can bring to areas, such as gender and aboriginal inclusion, should see us developing more activities and content here as well. In addition, the continued dialogue and experience working more closely with trade commissioners will see us continuing to strengthen our relationships with various federal ministries and agencies. Finally, beginning in 2014, the CIM Convention will commence a two-city rotation over a 10-year period, alternating annually between Montreal and Vancouver. In conjunction with this decision, a new model for developing and managing the technical programming was deemed necessary. In response, a new Technical Program Planning Committee is being established that will include a member from each CIM Society as well as members-at-large. The position of general chairman and committee membership will be filled through succession planning involving a three-to-four-year rotation. Branch members will be committee membership, encouraged by the branches to participate on this national level committee, and one need not reside in one of the host cities to be a member. Over the past few years I have had a terrific opportunity to learn about the important role that CIM plays in mining – both in Canada and worldwide – from some great mentors. I have discovered that CIM has more to offer to its members and the industry that goes beyond quality technical publications and national and local meetings. Keeping abreast of CIM lifts the performance of the mining professional, and by working with CIM, mining industry leaders can have an immensely positive influence on public awareness and government policy that impacts our industry. I am looking forward to meeting and working with many members in the coming year. It will be exciting and rewarding to work with CIM’s volunteer leadership and its great staff to advance the agenda outlined for 2013-14. I strongly encourage every member to seek ways to become involved in CIM – at the local and national levels. It is a wonderful way to get to know the organization and recognize its many benefits. In that way, all members can make CIM their “Community for Leading Industry Expertise.”
