Australian Centre
for Mining Environmental Research - The Australian Centre for
Mining Environmental Research Limited (ACMER) was established as
an industry initiative to carry out environmental research and provide
training in environmental management for the mining industry.
Australian Minerals
and Energy Environment Foundation (AMEEF) - The Australian Minerals
& Energy Environment Foundation (AMEEF) is an independent, non-political,
non-profit body established in 1991 to promote the implementation
of the principles of sustainable development in Australia?s mineral,
energy and related industries. The mission of the Australian Minerals
& Energy Environment Foundation is to encourage and support continual
improvement and excellence in environmental management in Australia?s
minerals, energy and related industries and to communicate the environmental
achievements of these industries to the community.
INAP
- INAP is an industry based initiative that aims to globally coordinate
research and development into the management of sulfide mine wastes.
The principal objectives of INAP are to promote significant improvements
in the management of sulfidic mine materials and the reduction of
liability associated with acid drainage through knowledge sharing
and research and development of technology.
British Columbia
British
Columbia and Yukon Chamber of Mines - The British Columbia &
Yukon Chamber of Mines supports and promotes the mineral exploration
community and related services. The Chamber's mandate is a unique
combination of representative action, public outreach, education
and media projects as it imparts the importance of mineral exploration
in the creation of wealth and jobs
Environmental
Mining Council of British Columbia - The purpose of the society
is to help protect the long term ecological integrity of British
Columbia and the Yukon from the impacts of mineral developments
from exploration to abandonment. We work with communities, labour
unions, government and industry toward the environmental reform
of mining practices and regulation through research, education,
dialogue and advocacy.

Canadian Institute
of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum - The Canadian Institute
of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum is the leading technical society
of professionals in the Canadian minerals, metals, materials and
energy industries. With over 12,000 national members, CIM strives
to be the association of choice for professionals in the minerals
industries.
Canadian Land Reclamation
Association - The Canadian Land Reclamation Association/Association
canadienne de r1habilitation des sites d1grad1s (CLRA/ACRSD) is
a non-profit organization. The Association encourages personal and
corporate involvement where reclamation or rehabilitation of disturbed
lands is planned or implemented.The CLRA/ACRSD provides its members
with up-to-date technical information through the publication of
both its Newsletter and proceedings of its annual conference. These
publications allow the organization to have an informal, instructional
role in the decision-making processes of reclamation/rehabilitation
projects and to act as a forum for the dissemination of ideas and
information pertinent to reclamation activities.
Canadian Society
of Petroleum Geologists - The objectives of The Canadian Society
of Petroleum Geologists (CSPG) are to promote the science of geology,
especially as it relates to petroleum and natural gas exploration
and exploitation, to foster the spirit of scientific research throughout
its membership, and to promote a public awareness of the need for
professional and well trained scientists.
Geological
Association of Canada - The Objects of the Association Are:
1. To promote the science of geology and closely related fields
of study, and to promote the knowledge of the members in connection
therewith; 2. To hold conferences, meetings and exhibitions for
the discussion of geological problems and the exchange of views
in matters related to geology; 3. To publish various journals and
collections of learned papers dealing with geology.
Laurentian
University - Mining Environment Database Subury, Ontario, Canada
- The database provides references and abstracts to over 20,000
journal articles, books, and government reports dealing with abandoned
mines, acid mine drainage and land reclamation. Topics include reclamation
planning, design and costs; tailings, heavy metals; disposal of
hazardous wastes, including acid mine drainage, sulphide-based tailings
and asbestos particles; chemical reactivity and oxidation affecting
pyrite and pyrrhotite tailings; leaching; radioactive hazards of
uranium tailings soil and water contamination; soil stabilization;
liming; fertilizers; seeding techniques; mine closure techniques;
and other related topics. Subject coverage focuses on hard rock
mining topics and is international in scope.
MEND
- Through the Mine Environment Neutral Drainage (MEND) program,
Canadian mining companies and provincial and federal departments
have reduced the liability due to acidic drainage. MEND was implemented
to develop and apply new technologies to prevent and control acidic
drainage.
Mineralogical
Association of Canada - a non profit scientific organization
to promote and advance the knowledge of mineralogy and the allied
disciplines of crystallography, petrology, geochemistry and mineral
deposits. Through its annual meetings, short courses, publications
and sponsored symposia, the Association provides a forum for the
presentation and dissemination of current knowledge and advances
to world-wide community of earth scientists. Ever since its inception,
MAC has given special attention to mineral deposits geology, particularly
in organizing symposia, short courses and publishing special volumes
and short-course notes on the subject.
Mining
Association of Canada - MAC's mission is to promote, through
the collective action of members, the growth and development of
Canada's mining and mineral-processing industry, for the benefit
of all Canadians. A
