PMRC 298 Webinar – Various PMRC 2020-related Technical Reports
This webinar targets current ACPs (Accredited Competent Person) and aspiring ACPs in Geology. It aims to provide practical guidance on best practices and tips to be considered in the preparation of PMRC 2020-compliant Technical Reports for Exploration Results, Exploration Targets and Mineral Resources.
The webinar is also open and aims to attract ACP and non-ACP Mining and Metallurgical Engineers interested in and who are normally consulted to contribute in the preparation of these technical reports. The webinar will hopefully become a forum for these allied professions to have the opportunity to gain practical knowledge and understanding on various mineral deposit types, which they may have the opportunity to work with in the future.
Current ACPs in Geology are strongly encouraged to attend this training program to acquire the necessary report writing skills and be familiar with the relevant sectional topic outline to be included in PMRC 2020-related Technical Reports specific to the deposit type of interest within their respective Projects.

For queries on this event you may contact the MRCC Secretariat (i.e. Jess, Kristine and Raymond) thru the following email: mrcc@geolsocphil.org
We look forward to your active participation in this webinar and in future GSP-PMRCC training initiatives.

INVITATION
On behalf of the Geological Society of the Philippines Scientific Committee, we are thrilled to invite you to participate in the annual Geological Convention or GeoCon2024. This year’s conference theme, “GeoCon2024: Filipino geologists - Bridging geoscience, technology, and industry for a better Philippines” aims to bring together professionals and researchers from a wide range of disciplines in geosciences.
The conference will serve as a conduit for geoscience professionals and academics from different fields to have a dialogue on a broad range of topics that includes the role of geoscience in energy development; geochemical and geophysical approaches to study volcanism and tectonics; seismic, landslide, and earthquake engineering studies; hazard recognition, forecasting, and mitigation; and future environmental issues and trends.
GeoCon2024 offers both oral and poster scientific sessions.
DATE AND VENUE
GeoCon2024 will be held from December 4 - 5, 2024 in Novotel, Araneta Center, Philippines. Additional details regarding the conference venue will be released in the succeeding circulars.

Webinar on the future of Water Management
Join us for an exclusive webinar on the future of water management!
Proper water management is crucial for the longevity of civil engineering structures. While traditional gravel has long been used for drainage, the demand for more efficient and durable solutions has led to the rise of drainage geocomposites.
Discover how the MacDrain series– an innovative and thoroughly tested range of drainage geocomposites- can optimize your projects by providing a lightweight, easy-to-install solution that reduces costs and enhances performance.
Date: August 30, 2024
Time: 10:00 AM Philippine Time
