We strive to build the know-how and mineral processing wisdom from the time our members are students and onwards into their careers.

The Metallurgy and Materials Society Metallurgists have been active in CIM from its inception in 1898. In 1945, the Metallurgy Division was formed to reflect the group's technical interests. Constituted as a Society in 1967, the Metallurgical Society (MetSoc) is one of the four societies and five divisions making up the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum. In October of 2010, the Society adopted their new name The Metallurgy and Materials Society.

In addition to its traditional membership of those involved in the economics and finance of mining, the Management and Economics Society of CIM (MES) was expanded to encompass members contributing to all aspects of the management of companies active in the mining sector. MES sponsors various events throughout the year in Toronto, Vancouver, and Hong Keng that provide industry professionals with the opportunity to share experiences, insights and ideas on topics relating to the economic, management and financial aspects of the business.
