While 29 states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico require professional geologists to have a Professional Geologist (P.G.) license, Colorado does not. The state certainly has an interest in protecting citizens, government entities and companies from unethical and/or incompetent practice.
Here's a link to what Colorado requires; PG Definition Our state should impose a licensure process in order to assure accountability and responsibility of P.G. practitioners.  ASTROBLEME -------------------- Annual Dues Paying Member Since 2008

I'd be careful with pulling a geo/mining engineer out of ICMJ. Just remember that you also get what you pay for. If you are looking to establish a multi million dollar valuation, you are going to have to spend some money in order to establish a credible resource - defensible sampling & analysis (statistically relevant) of the actual material, and a report generated by someone other than the state.
I'm up at the AME Roundup and VRIC in Vancouver this weekend, need me to get you some good consultant resumes?
