PMRC 101 AND 131 WEBINARS
September 5, 2020
With the pandemic, the Philippine Mineral Reporting Code Committee (PMRCC) conducted Zoom Webinars during the third quarter of the year for the continuing professional development of Competent Persons, technical people and other stakeholders of the Philippine Mining Industry. Registration, remittances, knowledge checks, webinar evaluation/feedbacks and provision of certificates of attendance/completion were all likewise undertaken online made possible by our partner, XPERTO Academy.
The corporate sponsors of the PMRCC webinars were as follows: Platinum - Nickel Asia Corporation (NAC); Gold – Apex Mining Company Incorporated (AMCI), Carmen Copper Corporation (CCC), CTP Construction and Mining Corporation (CTPCMC), Global Ferronickel Holdings Incorporated (GFNI), Masbate Gold Project (MGP); Silver – Philsaga Mining Corporation (PSMC) and Bronze – TVI Resource Development (Phils.) Inc. (TVIRD), Philex Mining Corporation (PMC).
The webinar on PMRC 101 - Introduction to the Philippine Mineral Reporting Code was held last July 18 from 1:00 -5:15 PM. Ninety (90) people participated in the webinar including representatives from the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) and the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). The following presentations were made:

The points about acting quickly after water intrusion are easy to understand and genuinely helpful. Professional Water Damage Restoration in San Diego, CA can make the recovery process much more manageable.
One aspect of technical webinars that often has long-term value is the opportunity to create a shared understanding across different disciplines rather than focusing only on individual specializations. When geologists, mining engineers, metallurgists, and project planners learn from the same framework, it becomes much easier to communicate assumptions, evaluate risks, and interpret reporting standards consistently during actual project development. That kind of alignment can reduce misunderstandings later when feasibility studies or resource estimates are reviewed by different stakeholders. It also highlights why continuous professional learning should extend beyond industry-specific topics and include broader academic development, especially for professionals considering qualifications such as bs hons programmes that strengthen analytical thinking alongside practical experience. Blending formal education with technical webinars creates a…
Часом знаходжу ці джерела випадково, іноді хтось скине в чат, іноді сам зберігаю “на потім”. Частину переглядаю рідко, частину — коли шукаю щось локальне чи нестандартне. Вони різні: новини, огляди, думки, регіональні стрічки. Я не беру все за правду — скоріше, для порівняння та пошуку контрасту між подачею. Можливо, хтось іще знайде серед них щось цікаве або принаймні нове. Головне — мати з чого обирати.

Часом знаходжу цікаві сайти — випадково або коли хтось ділиться в чаті. Частину зберігаю про запас, іноді повертаюсь до них при нагоді. Тут є різне — новини, блоги, локальні стрічки чи просто незвичні штуки. Деякі переглядаю рідко, деякі — коли хочеться вийти за межі звичних джерел. Поділюсь добіркою — може, хтось натрапить на щось нове: Мкх5гнкw69п53mpкгчгч d23 46нчнчоу жт41жкрсд54s7vbs4nwe19b4k553452ппкн совн43вжмг r19 r243633влквn7c123a01h15t212x5 cb1 т3538пдпс кмол Щодо загальної інформації — іноді буває корисно мати кілька додаткових ресурсів під рукою. Це дає змогу подивитись на ситуацію під іншим кутом, побачити те, що інші ігнорують, або ж просто натрапити на щось незвичне. Зрештою, інформація — це простір для орієнтації, і що ширше коло джерел, то більше шансів не опинитись у бульбашці власної стріч…
Contract administration is closely connected to tender management, making it an essential component of the College of Contract Management's programs. Learners develop the ability to interpret contract conditions, review tender specifications, manage procurement documentation, and ensure compliance with contractual requirements. These practical skills promote transparency and accountability throughout the procurement process while reducing the potential for contractual disputes. Effective contract administration contributes to efficient project delivery and long-term commercial success.
