Les lauréats des prix MetSoc/ICM
Éminents Conférenciers de l'ICM
Les conférenciers émérites de l’ICM sont choisis en fonction de leurs réalisations dans les domaines scientifique, technique, de la gestion ou des activités éducatives liées à l’industrie des minéraux. Ils interviennent lors des réunions des sections de l’ICM et des sections étudiantes dans l’ensemble du pays.
2025 Recipient
Joël Kapusta
Joël Kapusta joined BBA in 2010 and is currently subject matter expert in sonic injection and pyrometallurgy. With over 35 years of experience, he specializes in extractive metallurgy of nonferrous metals. He is a key developer of oxygen injection technologies into molten metals (sonic injection) for bath smelting, converting, and refining furnaces that he implements and commissions in smelters to intensify the reactors while improving the operators’ safety, and to lower the reactors process off-gas volumes to better control their environmental footprint.
Joël was president of the Metallurgical and Materials Society (MetSoc) of CIM in 2007-2008 and chairman of the board of MetSoc in 2008-2009. He was a member of the Council of the Extraction and Processing Division (EPD) of the Minerals, Metals and Materials Society (TMS) in the USA in 2006-2007 as chair of the Copper, Nickel and Cobalt Committee. He is also a member of the Pyrometallurgy Committee of TMS since 2000.
He has organized or co-organized several symposia for both MetSoc and TMS. Most notably for METSOC, he was chair of MetSoc’s 50th Conference of Metallurgists anniversary celebrations in 2011, and of Copper 2019, the 10th Edition of the Copper International Conference.
Joël joined CIM in 1991 as a PhD student at the University of British Columbia. He is a Fellow of CIM since 2020 and the recipient in 2020 of MetSoc’s Airey award, described as the most prestigious award for a Canadian metallurgist.

2025 Recipient
Niels Verbaan
Niels Verbaan holds a Master’s in Mining Engineering from Delft University of Technology, Netherlands and a Master’s in Hydrometallurgy from McGill University. He has over 25 years of experience in the minerals industry. He began his career at Lakefield Research (now SGS) in 2000 and held roles in Belgium and Canada before becoming director of technical services (hydrometallurgy) at SGS. In this position, he advises clients, management, and SGS global operations and sales teams on hydrometallurgical processing aspects of ores, concentrates and secondary feed streams.
Niels has authored over 40 technical papers, holds two patents, and has chaired biannual Processing of Critical Materials symposia since 2014. He currently serves as 3rd vice-president of MetSoc, the Metallurgical and Materials Society of CIM. His expertise includes metallurgical process development of commodities such as rare earths, scandium, nickel, cobalt, copper and other critical or minor metals, including recovery of metals from alternative feedstocks like seabed nodules and black mass.
