Governance and Industry Input

The CET Board is responsible for overall strategy, approval of annual budgets, and for monitoring technical and financial performance. Its governance practices and fiduciary responsibilities follow those of an incorporated entity, even though CET is an unincorporated joint venture. Senior industry representatives make up the majority of the Board and the External Advisory Group (EAG). The EAG provides essential external advice on research priorities and projects, and feedback on research outputs.

The CET Board

The Centre has been established as an unincorporated joint venture; however the governance practices and fiduciary responsibilities are largely consistent with those of an incorporated body.

The Board is responsible for the Centre's mission, objectives and strategic directions; including technical and financial performance and risk management. During the formative phase of the Centre's operations the Board will be meeting on a quarterly basis.

The CET External Advisory Group

The External Advisory Group has been established to provide essential advice on research priorities and projects, and feedback on research outputs of the Centre. Importantly, membership of the Group is drawn from the mineral exploration sector.

The Group reports to the Board and has overall responsibility for reviewing the research strategy of CET in terms of overall direction, geographical and technical areas of focus, project design and planned deliverables on behalf of the Board. In reviewing these items, the Group ensures that the overall strategy is in line with the CET’s mission, vision, statement and objectives.

The External Advisory Group currently meets 3 times per annum.
