The Registered Member Program was created in response to members who perform specialized functions relating to reserve consulting and reporting and need to satisfy the overseas requirement as a Competent/Qualified Person (QP) in that they belong to a Recognized Overseas Professional Organization (ROPO). A Registered Member is a scientist, engineer or technologist who is involved in various ways with the discovery, extraction and utilization of minerals, metals and energy sources. The membership includes geologists and other geoscientists, mining engineers and metallurgists, environmentalist, other engineers and other scientists and technologists.
To date the SME Registered Member program has regulatory reciprocity agreements with many professional organizations including Australia (JORC), Canada, (NI43-101), and South Africa (SAMREC). For a complete list see Appendix A in the SME Guide for Reporting.
