Australian Mineral Resources, Geology and Geophysics Agency
The Australian Mineral Resources, Geology and Geophysics Agency (AMRGG) is a government agency based in Canberra, Australia. It is the national authority for the management and regulation of the nations mineral resources, geology and geophysics activities. Our mission is to make sure that Australias mineral resources are properly managed, explored and developed according to international standards and best practice.
The AMRGG was established in 2006 and is part of the Commonwealth of Australias Department of Industry and Science. The agency is completely independent and is made up of professionals in the fields of mineral resources, geology and geophysics. We are responsible for regulating the geological and geophysical activities of the industry and providing technical advice on resource management and exploitation.
The AMRGG is a comprehensive resource for all mineral exploration and development activities in Australia, providing expertise and advice on a range of issues. We provide advice on federal and state regulations, consult with industry to secure optimal outcomes and promote responsible development of resources. We also research and monitor emerging mineral developments and technologies, provide technical support to industry and review the exploration and mining activities of our partners.
The AMRGG has developed and implemented a suite of standards and guidelines to assist those engaged in the industry to adhere to the principles of responsible exploration and development of resources in Australia. These standards are known as the Australia Mineral Resources Geology and Geophysics Standard (AMRGS). This standard is updated annually to ensure that it is up to date with the latest advances and technological developments in the mineral industry and is constantly improved upon.
These standards provide a framework and guidance for the identification, exploration and development of mineral resources in Australia. Compliance with these standards is monitored and assessed by the AMRGGs compliance and monitoring team. The AMRGG also works with mining companies, exploration companies and government bodies to ensure that the highest standards and practices are implemented.
The AMRGG works in close collaboration with industry partners to support and promote the responsible development and exploration of resources in Australia. Our objectives are to strengthen and protect the interests of stakeholders in the mineral industry, while ensuring the responsible management of our nations resources.
The AMRGG is committed to safeguarding our mineral resources, ensuring long-term sustainable development and working to strengthen and safeguard our economy. We pride ourselves on being a technical leader in the mineral sector and are proud to play an important role in the industry.
