Since its founding in 1898, the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) has stood at the forefront of mining development and serves as an important bridge for advancing global mining technology exchange and cooperation. Its flagship CIM CONNECT exhibition, thanks to its outstanding industry influence, attracts mining elites from more than 50 countries and regions around the world each year, including mining company executives, technical experts, researchers, equipment suppliers, and representatives of relevant government departments. Here, you will meet face to face with the top forces of the global mining industry, share cutting-edge industry information, and explore boundless business opportunities.

      CIM CONNECT 2026 will be a feast of cutting-edge mining technology. On the exhibition floor, the latest mining machinery of all kinds will reshape extraction processes with efficiency and intelligence.

• Intelligent Mining Equipment: Cutting-edge equipment such as autonomous mining trucks, AI-based ore processing systems, and 5G remote-control platforms will be showcased in a concentrated display. Caterpillar's 5G remote-controlled mining truck fleet, with centimeter-level precision, enables accurate remote operation and greatly improves mining safety and efficiency. XCMG's loader rated for ultra-low temperatures of -40°C keeps its hydraulic system operating efficiently even at -35°C, meeting mining needs in extreme cold environments. Northern Heavy Industries' disassembled avalanche-proof hydraulic supports address equipment pain points in the Rocky Mountain mining areas, providing reliable support for mining operations in complex terrain.

• Green Technology Solutions: Green technologies such as electric mining machinery, dry tailings stacking technology, and biological reclamation solutions will be in the spotlight. As the world places greater emphasis on environmental protection and sustainable development, these green technologies will help mining companies achieve sustainable development and reduce environmental impact. For example, BHP Group will release on site a CAD 1.5 billion green equipment procurement list, reflecting its emphasis on and investment in green technologies. Chinese companies' Northern股份 electric wide-body trucks and SUNWARD hydrogen-powered drill rigs are drawing considerable attention, as these machines offer advantages such as zero emissions and low energy consumption.

• Polar-Specific Equipment: Equipment adapted to polar environments, such as corrosion-resistant mineral processing equipment and hydrogen fuel cell trucks operable at -40°C, will help companies open up new fields such as Arctic mining. The extreme-cold tailings treatment system displayed by a Canadian local company also offers new ideas for polar mining development, making mining operations in polar regions more efficient and environmentally friendly.

• Safety and Sustainable Services: Services such as miner protective equipment, ESG certification services, and consulting on cooperation with Indigenous communities will provide safeguards for companies' safety and sustainable development. As the mining industry attaches greater importance to safety and sustainable development, these services will become important support for enterprise development, helping companies enhance their social image and achieve long-term stable growth.
