S-IMEW
S-IMEW 2026
The 17th annual Student-Industry Mineral Exploration Workshop (S-IMEW) will return to Sudbury from April 29th to May 14th, 2026.
Each year, select geoscience students from post-secondary institutions across Canada participate in the Student-Industry Mineral Exploration Workshop (S-IMEW).
This two-week, all-expenses-paid program offers a rare and immersive opportunity for upper-year geoscience students to explore the full spectrum of the mineral exploration industry — from hands-on technical fieldwork to real-world insights into the economics, social, and environmental sides of the sector.
Designed to bridge the gap between classroom theory and industry practice, S-IMEW connects students with professionals, and organizations, shaping the future of exploration in Canada and beyond.
