WORKSHOP – Mineral Standard Reporting and the Role of the Competent Person in the Mining Sector for the Necessary Future Sustainable Development and the Standardisation Process of the Mining Industry in Europe.
“A JOB OPPORTUNITY FOR GEOLOGISTS AND TECHNICAL CONSULTANTS IN GENERAL, IN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE NEW PROCESS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MINING SECTOR IN EUROPE AND IN THE WORLD”
Note that most of the presentations will be delivered in Italian.
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES
- Introduction of the role of the “Competent Person” and in particular of the Eurogeologist in the preparation of independent and public reports, in the field of exploration and mining, and furthermore of the new job opportunities for the geologists due to the present sustainable development process of the Mineral sector in EU and in the world.
- Direct the geologists who want to take advantage of these opportunities, to an adequate technical updating and new cultural approach, not only regarding technical issues, but also environmental, social and “governance” (“ESG issues”), that will have to be increasingly considered in the evaluation of mining projects. This will also represent an incredible new job opportunity for prepared consultants.
