"You don't just casually become a competent person"

Measured is RSC’s brand-new podcast series, with RSC Managing Director and Principal Consultant René Sterk conversing with a range of industry personalities. Expect a range of talking points, many with a technical theme, but also some of our industry friends sharing anecdotes about their career in the mineral exploration and mining sector and thoughts on some of the issues the industry faces.

René talks with JORC Committee Chair Steve Hunt in this week's edition of the #measuredpodcast. In this discussion, René and Steve talk about some of the anticipated changes in JORC, and cover the Competent Person debate.
