CIM Definitions, Standards, Best Practices and NI43-101
Abstract: NI43-101, introduced in the 1990’s, is a prescribed format and detailed set of rules to guide the reporting of resources. In addition, the basic principles of “best practices” have been created to guide the practitioner in all aspects of mineral resource evaluation from data management, data analysis, geological modeling, domaining, estimation and classification. As professionals and practitioners we must defend and uphold standards to insure public protection. This presentation is a discussion of NI43-101, CIM Definitions, Standards and Best Practices along with the role of the “Professional”.
Biography: With over 30 years of experience, Mr. Kirkham is the principal of Kirkham Geosystems Ltd. that specializes in 3D computer modeling and resource/reserve estimations at the preliminary assessment, pre-feasibility and feasibility study stages of mining projects.
