WMC 2013 will be hosted by a collaborative team including professors from five top Canadian universities: McGill University, University of British Columbia, Queen's University, University of Toronto and University of Alberta, as well as the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM). Canada is built on a spectacular natural resources base and continues to thrive as a world leader in the extraction of many commodities. As well, in this time of global economic challenges, Canada and its provinces are laying the groundwork for continued growth and prosperity through an expansion of infrastructure, particularly in the energy and mineral industries.
The World Mining Congress (WMC) was initiated in 1958 when prof. Bolesław Krupiński - a prominent Polish scientist and mining engineer organized the first congress in Warsaw. Prof. Krupiński was the WMC Chairman until 1972.
