Northern Ontario mining suppliers are heading to Montreal next week for the 2025 convention of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM).
Forty-eight businesses will take part in the four-day event, taking place May 4-7 at the Montreal Convention Centre, as part of the Northern Ontario Mining Showcase. This year’s convention theme is ‘Minerals, Innovation and the Energy Transition’.
This year’s delegation is nearly double the size of the 2024 version, which sent 27 companies to Vancouver last May.
The northern contingent heading to CIM is a smaller version of the delegation that annually exhibits at the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) convention, which takes place every March in Toronto.
That version of the Showcase, which was held March 2-5, included 112 mining supply and service companies from the North.
Both events give mining suppliers an opportunity to meet clients, network with like-minded business owners and entrepreneurs, take in presentations and workshops, and check out the latest industry innovations.
According to FedNor, NOMS is led by the City of Temiskaming Shores and supported by FedNor.
