What are the benefits of becoming a member?
MEMBER BENEFITS - PROFILING, PROMOTION AND NETWORKING
CIMG uses a variety of services and events to facilitate promotion, building profile and networking for all members. Some of these services include:
• Networking/Business Contacts: All members receive invitations to CIMG's programme of events, seminars, corporate lunches, briefing sessions and information seminars thus providing a valuable networking opportunity with influential members and stakeholders in the mineral exploration and mining community. All members are also eligible to join CIMG's Advisory Panel and discussion groups as an added measure of encouraging interaction between members.
• Referrals: The CIMG supports its members by referring all telephone or email queries regarding commodities, goods and services to its members wherever there are business opportunities. This can enhance the business success of our members and CIMG is happy to do so.
• Profiling and Marketing: On joining CIMG, a corporate profile of a member's company will be included on the CIMG Website that will link with their home website. These profiles ensure CIMG members are acutely aware that your company is also an CIMG member and should be supported.
MEMBER BENEFITS - REPRESENTATION AND ADVOCACY
The CIMG is not driven by the specific interests of particular companies which means it can lobby and advocate for change without compromise or conflict of interest.
This enables CIMG to retain strong relationships with all sides of politics at the highest level and provide members with an advocacy power they could not otherwise generate. Importantly, CIMG's position has often secured meetings with, and provided access to influential decision makers that members have been unable to otherwise achieve.
CIMG continually represents the interests of its members on issues which affect the business activities of international mining companies. Member support and involvement makes CIMG stronger, more effective and ensures that we perform to the industry's best advantage.
MEMBER BENEFITS - ACCESS TO CRITICAL INFORMATION
Many of CIMG's members acknowledge the vital importance of CIMG's information services.
These services ensure CIMG members are kept abreast of immediate threats to exploration or mining projects, increases in sovereign risk, opportunities to promote the development of their company or services, opportunities to access investors, changes in government policy, improved understanding of industry trends or regulation, new exploration techniques/strategies and increased awareness of competitors.
CIMG members obtain this information in a variety of ways and these include:
• Member updates: An email service provided exclusively to members whenever, and as soon as, important information warrants dissemination.
• Information/briefing sessions for members on an ‘as needed’ basis.
• Participation on CIMG's Advisor Panel or Discussion Groups.
• Access to a free copy of Mining Journal as well as all publications produced by the CIMG

This category is particularly for small exploration or mining companies (capitalization of <US$20M), companies that are not registered in China who visit occasionally but want to keep a watching brief on this market and who want to be copied on the CIMG minutes and informed about its activities, or individuals. Please contact the CIMG Secretariat for this to assess if you are eligible to be small miner.
Sustaining Sponsorships (For Current Members only)
The CIMG is in its next stage of development in fulfilling its vision in to be the leading international and neutral industry voice in assisting the development of China’s mining industry.
As you are aware the CIMG has grown substantially in size of members and scope of work. As well, the CIMG will soon move into a new office in conjunction with the China-Australian Chamber of Commerce as well as employ fulltime staff. Along with this comes the obligation of the staff to fulfill the needs of members and to lobby on their behalf to the Chinese Government.
In achieving this CIMG will be active in advocating best business practice that provides sustainable business outcomes relevant to the mining sector in China through a number of projects. As you can imagine this will require funding and the CIMG is seeking your support as a Sustaining Sponsor.
This new category will form the foundation of the future of the CIMG as well provide companies a unique place in the history of the development of the mining sector in China. In accordance with such support the CIMG will provide unique benefits that are outlined below.
The price of being a Sustaining Sponsor is RMB40400 per year with a commitment of 3 years (meaning a RMB121200 contribution in total). There will only be 10 places. Any member of the CIMG can be a Sustaining Sponsor. Please note that this sponsorship is above the yearly membership subscription. The CIMG will provide the following package to Sustaining Sponsors as follows:
-Special mention as Sustaining Sponsors at all events
-Your logo will be displayed as a Sustaining Sponsor on all marketing collateral (brochures, business cards, website, etc)
-Your logo will be displayed as a Sustaining Sponsor on all published collateral (articles, white papers, etc)
-Allow an insert of one promotional brochure into all attendee delegates’ packages at workshops etc.
These benefits it is hoped will provide a unique way for companies to be part of history and the development of the CIMG into becoming a world-class organisation. As well, this will be a valuable tool to augment any company’s sustainability profile internationally.
