Concerned about their image in the mining industry and that of the mining industry itself, Canadian mining contractors have established an association.
The Canadian Mining Contractors Association (CMCA), formed in 1990, has 13 members who meet four times per year. At its February meeting in Sudbury, Ont., this year, the CMCA adopted an environmental code along the lines of the one drafted by the Mining Association of Canada. A committee to deal with public relations has been formed and in the process of being drawn up by the CMCA is a code of ethics.
The CMCA says the concept of competitiveness remains at the heart of the mining contracting business, and that the contractors are, in their business dealings, independent and competitive.
The members of the CMCA include Ross Finlay Ltd., Aurora Quarrying, Graham Mining, Dynatec Mining, J.S. Redpath, Canadian Mine Development, MacIsaac Mining & Tunnelling, Thyssen Mining, Dynamoran Ltd. and Ram Raising.
