Guidelines for “Competent Person” (CP) in Reporting Ore Reserves
For The Philippine Mineral Reporting Code (PMRC)
1. INTRODUCTION
The PSEM confers CP accreditation to Mining Engineers in recognition of their competence to undertake PMRC compliant assessments and reporting of ore reserves. Initially, accreditation of mining engineers will be classified according to the following areas of practice:
1. Open Pit – Metalliferous Mining (Copper, Gold, Nickel, Chromite)
2. Underground – Metalliferous Mining (Copper, Gold, Chromite)
3. Open Pit– Coal Mining
4. Underground– Coal Mining
5. Alluvial Mining / Dredging
6. Quarrying (Limestone, Sand/Gravel/Non-Metallic)
These guidelines provide the criteria for the CP accreditation and practice in the context of the PMRC and PSEM Code of Ethics.
2. BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR CP ACCREDITATION
a. Filipino Citizen
b. Graduate of BS Mining Engineering
c. Professional Regulation Commission License in Mining
d. Active member of the PSEM
e. Must have at least five years relevant experience in the area of practice for which accreditation is sought
f. Professional Tax Receipt (PTR)
3. AREAS OF PRACTICE
The following checklist provides the main areas of practice that a mining engineer may have relevant experience or specialty on for registration as a CP.
a. Open Pit - Metalliferous Mining
Extensive experience in reserve assessment, planning, design, scheduling, budget preparation, risk management, operations coordination and management of metalliferous open pit mines.
b. Underground - Metalliferous Mining
Extensive experience in reserve assessment, planning, design, scheduling, budget preparation, risk management, operations coordination and management of underground metalliferous mines.
c. Open Pit - Coal Mining
Extensive experience in reserve estimation, planning, design, scheduling, budget preparation, risk management, operations coordination and management of open pit coal mines.
d. Underground - Coal Mining
Extensive experience in reserve estimation, planning, design, scheduling, budget preparation, risk management, operations coordination and management of underground coal mines.
e. Alluvial Mining, Dredging
A well rounded understanding of reserve estimation, planning, design, scheduling, budget preparation, risk management, supporting infrastructure requirement, construction and operations coordination and management of alluvial mines.
