PERC IGI Training Event - In-person attendees

“Critical Raw Material Resource Classification and Reporting using UNFC and CRIRSCO” Dublin, Ireland, 4 June 2026

PERC and the IGI are pleased to announce that they are organising a one-day training event in Dublin on 4th June on the topic of “Critical Raw Material Resource Classification and Reporting using UNFC and CRIRSCO”.

This event will be held at the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment’s Tom Johnson House, Haddington Road, Dublin, D04K7X4.

The event is aimed at providing those working in the minerals industry and government departments with responsibility for this sector to learn more about the specific requirements of, and reporting systems used, by those working in industry and government. The event will be of particular interest to those wishing to learn more about the implications of the EU’s Critical Raw Materials Act for minerals reporting in Europe.

The event will consist of the following:

· A morning session which will include a series of presentations aimed at providing participants with an understanding of reporting on mineral exploration progress and the differing requirements and concerns of governments, minerals companies and investors to support their decisions on matters such as regulatory and tax regimes, strategic planning, business management and investment decisions. The similarities and differences in the requirements of government and industry will be illustrated by reference to the CRIRSCO-aligned systems and the use of the UNFC for the classification of mineral projects. The use of UNFC in the EU’s Critical Raw Materials Act will also be discussion. This session will also be offered as an online webinar.

· In the afternoon, a workshop (for in-person attendees only) will provide participants with the opportunity to exchange ideas whilst working on exercises designed to identify key features from reports based on the CRIRSCO and UNFC systems, as well as a high-level introduction to the use of the CRIRSCO Template to UNFC Bridging Document. -

Examples of the importance of minerals information for policy making at a European level (11:00-12:00)

• The EU’s Critical Raw Materials Act and the use of the UNFC in assessment and monitoring of Strategic Projects
• An overview of the EU’s Raw Materials Information System (RMIS) and its use of mineral resource information.

Examples of active mineral projects at different stages of development (12:00-13:00)

• An exploration stage project from Ireland which is evaluation a recently discovered prospect.
• One of the EU’s Strategic Projects which is at the study stage (mineral resource and reserve assessment and associated technical economic studies and environmental and social impact assessments)

Networking lunch (in-person): 13:00-14:00

Workshop (in-person attendees only): 14:00- 16:30

· It is anticipated that this will be split into two separate sessions, as follows:

a) Focused on CRIRSCO / PERC reporting. A short presentation explaining key requirements following a group exercise to identify these features in online example reports on mineral projects.

b) Focused on the UNFC and the use of the CRIRSCO Template - UNFC Bridging document to obtain a UNFC classification for strategic project assessment and monitoring

Closing remarks: 16:30-17:00
