Enrolments are now open for the March 2020 Intake to attend the Online Professional Certificate in JORC Code Reporting.
The Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (‘the JORC Code’) is a professional code of practice that sets minimum standards for public reporting of minerals exploration results, mineral resources and ore reserves.
This course has been specifically designed for resources professionals responsible for drafting JORC Code Reports (e.g. Competent Persons or aspiring Competent Persons). In eight-weeks you will develop an in-depth understanding of the JORC Code, including recognising obligations and liabilities, demonstrating its correct applications across different industries, and appropriately applying the Code in the reporting environment under the ASX and ASIC.
The interactive, online format of the course will provide participants with an opportunity to learn in a community-based environment from wherever they are situated – in the office, on a mine site, at home or at the airport.
Learning Outcomes
- Appraise the obligations and liabilities of the Competent Person under the JORC Code
