Metallic And Industrial Minerals Working Group
MIM
The Metallic and Industrial Minerals (MIM) Working Group formed to gather stakeholders and experts to identify and discuss sectoral issues important to industry and all Albertans.
A key resource sector in Alberta is the Metallic and Industrial Minerals MIM industry. This working group is involved in the extraction of non-hydrocarbon minerals including limestone, aggregates and other products essential to society.
