L'histoire de la métallurgie au Canada depuis 1900 représente un vaste sujet historique. Ce rapport cherche à en fournir un résumé cohérent en se concentrant sur trois thèmes principaux : le passé historique des grandes compagnies qui participaient à la production des métaux communs, la nature et l’évolution de l’ingénierie métallurgique et les importantes contributions canadiennes au domaine international de la métallurgie. Chaque thème est abordé dans un chapitre de ce rapport. Grâce à ce large tour d’horizon, il est possible de traiter de questions fondamentales. On cherche particulièrement à savoir si le Canada a vécu un « âge d’or » de la recherche et du développement métallurgique qui se serait étendu sur la deuxième moitié du 20e siècle et, dans l’affirmative, si cette période est terminée.
This book traces the changing ways in which research and development occurred in Canada's mining and metallurgy sector from the 1950s to the present day. The study is a collaborative project developed by Ingenium – Canada’s Museums of Science and Innovation and the Historical Metallurgy Section of the Metallurgy & Materials Society (MetSoc).
This is the sixth in a series of symposia, which started in 1992, on waste processing and recycling
in the mineral and metallurgical industry. The symposia have been held in Edmonton, Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Hamilton and now Montréal. They are sponsored by the Environment Section of the Metallurgical Society in collaboration with other interested Sections and held at the annual Conference of Metallurgists. The present one is also co-sponsored by the Minerals, Metals and Material Society (TMS) of the U.S.A., and Mining and Materials Institute of Japan.
The World Gold Conference is hosted alternatively by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM) and the Southern Africa Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (SAIMM). The conference completed its first cycle with the 2009 Gold Conference in Johannesburg. After 3 successful events, the conference returned to Canada for the 50th Anniversary of the Metallurgy and Materials Society of CIM. According to the World Gold Council, the rise in demand for bars, coins and jewellery increased the global gold demand in the first quarter of 2011 totalling 981.3 tonnes, up 11% year-on-year from 881.0 tonnes in the first quarter of 2010. In value terms, this translated to US$43.7bn, compared with US$31.4bn in the first quarter of 2010, an increase of almost 40%. The gold price exploded in the summer of 2011, reaching $1,850 USD/oz, in August. Many large projects were initiated by mining companies following the constantly increasing price of gold.
