Objectives:
The
Commission on Ore Mineralogy of the International Mineralogical
Association (IMA) was set up in 1962 to serve the interests of
ore mineralogists in universities, research institutions and
the minerals industry across the world. Our goals are to promote
ore mineralogy within the scientific community, to train fellow
members in investigative skills through a series of short courses,
and to support the activities of other IMA commissions by providing
advice and expert opinion on issues related to our fields of
research. Through its regular short courses, regional meetings,
scientific sessions, other symposia and field excursions, as
well as its website, COM offers a platform to ore mineralogists
to share their knowledge with others, exchange information, and
to speak with a collective voice on issues that affect our branch
of science. As one of the commissions of IMA, the COM supports
the goals of international cooperation and collaborative research
in pure and applied mineralogy.
