Background

The Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM) and the Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (SAIMM) have agreed to jointly convene a World Gold Conference every two years on a rotational basis. The conference series completed its first loop with the 2009 World Gold Conference hold in Johannesburg last October. Now, after 3 successful events, the World Gold Conference is back to Canada for the 50th Anniversary of MetSoc.

The mining environment was hit by the financial crisis. However the record gold price helped the gold mining industry to continue growing. Exploration, investments and profits are related to: gold metal prices, exploration success, opportunities for by- and co-products; potential of marginal deposits; decreasing precious metal content and increasing refractoriness and finally more efficient, more environmentally friendly mining and processing technologies. The continuing pressures on the world financial markets are causing significant changes in the roles of the world’s major economies. This is resulting in fast-moving developments in both the supply and demand for gold.
