AusIMM Heritage Committee Statement of Purpose
The primary purpose of the Heritage Committee is to highlight the importance of mineral heritage and to promote the recognition of resources sector professionals and the contribution they have made and continue to make to the culture and the economic and social well-being of the Australasian community.
The Heritage Committee will encourage the identification, appreciation and retention of mining heritage in its various aspects, including the role and contributions of individual members of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy.
The Heritage Committee will actively support heritage activities associated with mining, geoscience, mineral processing, environment, geotourism, plus a wide range of related professions.
