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.
To register please follow the link: https://app.xperto.ph/event/pmrc298-webinar-2024
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.
