Comment: To be honest, I think this is so non-notable that I could have rejected rather than declined the draft. The sources cited are all close primary ones, hence there is no evidence of the primary notability criterion of stand-alone lists, namely that the group has been discussed as a group by independent sources.
I also don't see the point of publishing an article on a topic as obscure as people on whom a particular organisation has seen fit to confer a particular grade of membership. I can understand why that would be of interest to the organisation, but not to anyone outside that context. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information; a list like this should instead be accessible on the website of the organisation in question.
If this list is to be included anywhere, I would merge it into the main Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy article, although I hasten to repeat that I don't think this should be included even there (such articles typically would include lists of past presidents or similar, if any, which this is not).
