The Ausimm Minerals Institute

Under AusIMM By-laws, all AusIMM members are bound by the AusIMM Code of Ethics and, when acting in certain capacities as a resources sector professional, are also bound by the JORC Code and the VALMIN Code in addition to any other Board-approved codes, regulations or directives. These codes serve to protect communities, members and the profession and provide professional reporting and valuation systems that give the community and particularly financial markets confidence in our sector. Members, upon admission, commit to the principles set out in the Code of Ethics and reconfirm that commitment each year when renewing their membership subscription. All members should familiarise themselves with the Code of Ethics and any other codes relevant to their profession, as members have an obligation to ensure that the codes are properly observed by their colleagues in order to retain and build on the trust and positive reputation that we have as a collective of industry professionals.
