I am a mining engineer with more than 45 years experience in the global mining industry. I am the former chairman of the South African Mineral Resource Committee (SAMREC) in which time the initial SAMREC Code was published (April 2000). I am a former chair of the Committee for Mineral Reserves International Reporting Standards (CRIRSCO) and am still one of the South African representatives on that committee. I am currently the CRIRSCO representative on the Expert Group on Resource Classification (EGRC) a sub-committee of the Sustainable Energy Division  of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). The EGRC has over time developed the United Nations Framework Classification (UNFC 2009) applicable to fossil energy and solid minerals and which is currently being developed for renewable energy.
