The UBC mining undergraduate society (MUGS) is a student run organization for the students of the Norman B. Keevil Institute of Mining Engineering at UBC.
We take pride in promoting and being apart of the global and dynamic mining industry. Our priorities are also to bring the best student life, academic help, and networking events we can to campus to help further connect our community.
From our national competition teams: UBC Mine Rescue & Canadian Mining Games
To our annual professional development events with real industry sponsors and alumni!
Our executive team is excited and devoted to bring only the best for UBC Mining! Let us show you why we rock!
The Canadian Mining Games are an annual competition providing an opportunity for mining engineering students from across Canada to showcase their mining knowledge, problem-solving and adaptive capabilities through a variety of challenges. Sponsors are able to create and develop individual events and interact directly with students during competitions to evaluate their responses to new and challenging situations. In addition to the friendly competition, both students and industry representatives are given the chance to expand their network through banquets and the career fair.
Established in 2012, UBC Mine Rescue is Canada's first student lead mine rescue team!
Join the team to develop first aid, rope rescue, disaster response, dynamic problem solving and more!
The team competes in both national and international to compete and test our skills against only the best!
Safety is always the #1 priority!
