This session will decipher how reporting codes serve capital markets and public disclosure, while classification systems support government planning, licensing, and resource management. We will compare scope, terminology, assurance, and applicability across the project life cycle, with practical guidance on when, and how, to use each, and how they interoperate for critical minerals. Speakers will share their experience on aligning national systems, strengthening geological survey capacity, and improving investor confidence and policy decisions.
