De Beers' Gowans to head CIM

摘要

The Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) thinks it's found a gem as the organization's next president. Jim Gowans, president and CEO of De Beers Canada, was selected as the CIM's president-elect at its annual general meeting, held on Sunday, April 29, in Montreal. "De Beers Canada has been exploring Canada for over forty years, and as of this year, we will also be a fully fledged mining company," Gowans explained. "Now is the perfect time to take on a leadership role within the Canadian mining sector."
