The results of which\, led to established standards for ore reserves\, sample assays\, sample collection and associated reports to be vetted to ensure accurate and ethical reporting for public investme nt in mining and mineral prospects. The Committee for Mineral Reserves In ternational Reporting Standards (CRIRSCO) was established at the time and in concert with the United Nations\, has put in place safeguards to make it extremely unlikely for a fraud on the scale of Bre-X to occur again.   \n\n\nDr. Aaron Johnson is the Executive Director\, American Institute o f Professional Geologists.
