Evolution of the SAMREC Code Logo in its 25th Anniversary Year
As we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the SAMREC Code, we have introduced a refreshed logo that symbolises our ongoing commitment to mineral reporting and the evolving role of minerals in a sustainable future.- The Continent: This element represents the wealth of minerals found in our land. Many of these minerals are essential for modern technologies, particularly those that enable the transition to renewable and green energy.
- The Orbit: This continuous loop signifies the SAMCODES Committees' ongoing influence, engagement, and collaboration within the mining industry. It reflects our dedication to maintaining global best practices in mineral reporting and ensuring that our standards remain relevant in a changing world.
This new design not only commemorates 25 years of the SAMREC Code’s impact but also highlights its role, as well as the role of the SAMVAL and SAMOG Codes, in shaping the future of the mining and minerals industry.

SAMREC Survey Request
In September 2025, the SAMCODES Standards Committee (SSC), in conjunction with the Geological Society of South Africa (GSSA) and the Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (SAIMM) will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of the SAMREC Code (which was launched in March 2000). This will form part of the “Introduction to SAMREC/SAMVAL and the JSE Listing Requirements” workshop to be held as a hybrid event on 2-3 September 2025 (at the Johannesburg Country Club, Auckland Park)
We would ask all who have authored CPRS and other (public and/or private) technical reports in compliance with the SAMREC Code since March 2000 (or since they started business) to please provide us with the number of such documents; we don’t need anything more than the total number of SAMREC compliant documents authored. The purpose of this enquiry is to show widespread acceptance and usage of SAMREC. While the JSE Readers Panel has reviewed 282 SAMREC compliant Public CPRs over 25 years, we believe that the total number of such documents is significantly larger.
We would be grateful if you could send us this information at your earliest convenience, but before June 2025. Please send it to: Rob Ingram (jsereader@gmail.com) and cc to Tania Marshall (marshall.tania@gmail.com).

Reporting Standards
Public Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves and SAMCODES STANDARDS COMMITTEE (SSC)
Friday, 29 January 2016 10:14
Attracting finance for exploration and mining ventures is a critical part of the resource business environment today, and there are a number of finance options available, including accessing private equity. With the increase in the number of non-listed (private) companies and individuals seeking to obtain financial assistance, it is important to appreciate that issues of public reporting are not confined to listed companies only. Under all circumstances, if Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and/or Mineral Reserves are reported publically (as defined in the SAMREC Code of 2016), and if said report is claimed to have been compiled in accordance with any of the SAMREC, SAMVAL or SAMOG Codes, then the report and the author are subject to the minimum standards and requirements of the relevant Code as well as the complaints procedure of the SAMCODES Standards Committee (SSC).
What is a Public Report
SAMREC Code Clause 3:
Definition
Public Reports are reports prepared for the purpose of informing investors or potential investors and their advisers on Exploration Results, Mineral Resources or Mineral Reserves. They include, but are not limited to, annual and quarterly company reports, press releases, information memoranda, technical papers, website postings and public presentations.
These Public Reports may be in printed or electronic media (including social media) and will include JSE circulars, reports as required by the Companies Act and reports for other regulatory authorities or as required by law.
Public Reporting refers to any documentation which may find its way into the public domain. It refers not only to reporting or documentation by companies listed on a Securities Exchange, but also includes documents compiled by/for private companies or individuals.
While every effort has been made within the Code to cover most situations likely to be encountered in Public Reporting, there may be occasions when doubt exists as to the appropriate form of disclosure. On such occasions, users of the Code and those compiling reports to comply with the Code should be guided by its intent, which is to provide a minimum standard for Public Reporting and the guidelines of materiality, transparency and competence, and to ensure that such reporting contains all information which stakeholders, interested parties, investors and their professional advisers would reasonably require, and reasonably expect to find in the report, for the purpose of making of a reasoned and balanced judgment regarding the Exploration Results, Mineral Resources or Mineral Reserves being reported.
