Pan European Reserves and Resources Reporting Committee (PERC)
The Pan European Reserves and Resources Reporting Committee (PERC) is a constituent member of the Committee For Mineral Reserves International Reporting Standards (CRIRSCO) and is recognised by CRIRSCO as the National Reporting Organisation (NRO) for the European Region. As such, PERC is the European equivalent of JORC in Australasia, SAMREC in South Africa, and the other regional member organisations of CRIRSCO.
PERC, as a member of CRIRSCO, has an international forum that allows it to ensure the consistency of its reporting standards in a global context, as well as contribute to the development of good practices in international reporting.
PERC Participating Organisations may be professional associations of geologists, engineers or other specialists involved in the preparation of Competent Persons’ reports on mineral reserves and resources, or may be industry associations, government or intergovernmental organisations, or other types of organisations with an interest in establishing, promoting and maintaining standards of professional practice in solid mineral reporting. Individual mining companies are not normally acceptable as Participating Organisations.
PERC currently has six participating organisations, as indicated below:
- Institute of Materials, Minerals, and Mining
- Institute of Geologists of Ireland
- Geological Society of London
- Fennoscandian Association for Metals and Minerals Professionals
- European Federation of Geologists
- Iberian Mining Engineers Board
