About Us

PONEN is an association of experts, professionals and aspiring specialists in the mining industry. PONEN is an internationally recognized professional organization (RPO), along with many other organizations around the world that are part of the CRIRSCO family.

The key provision of international standards is the responsibility of each specialist for the quality of their work. Membership in PONEN is the status of a specialist who is responsible for the quality of his work, who accepts obligations to comply with the code of ethics and who wants to continuously carry out his professional development.

The establishment of PONEN received a wide response abroad. Many experts from foreign countries joined PONEN. This contributed to the creation of our own institute of Competent Persons who evaluate deposits according to the KAZRC standard.
