Since the late 1980s, public reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves has been governed by a variety of different reporting codes, including: the PERC Code (Europe), JORC Code (Australasia); NI 43 101 legislation and CIM Definition Standards and best practice guidelines (Canada), SAMREC (South Africa), SEC Industry Guide 7 (US) and other codes. Since 1994, under the auspices of CRIRSCO (Committee for Mineral Reserves International Reporting Standards) there has been considerable cooperation between the main bodies involved in the development of the different codes and a move towards standardisation of the definitions of key terms.
This course provides an introduction to the principles underlying the reporting codes based on the CRIRSCO International Template, with specific reference to the PERC Reporting Standard.
Topics covered include:
-
Introduction to the regulatory framework
-
Overview of the PERC Reporting Standard
-
Practical application of the Reporting Codes, including:
-
General considerations
-
Project Context
-
Basis for Assessment
-
Interpretation and Estimation
-
Planning and Decision Making
-
-
Competent Person responsibilities
The course focuses on the assessment criteria which are included in Table 1 of the PERC Standard; discussion of these items is used as the basis for illustrating expected best practice procedures and providing an opportunity for course participants to exchange experiences on particular issues of concern.
