High energy in 2007

摘要

This year is already speeding by for CIM, as the CIM Conference and Exhibition is just around the corner, and a number of key projects are making major headway, promising to have major impact on the whole association. The conference this year, in Montreal from April 29 to May 2, is themed Energy and Mines-an important focus for industry today. The conference concentrates on energy in various ways. Our industry produces the fuels used to generate energy. Energy management at our mine sites and plants is an integral component of cost reduction. New technologies and applications are offering opportunities for lowering costs and increasing environmental performance. And issues such as climate change are driving public opinion; as an industry we must ensure we maintain a social license to operate competitively.
