Amendments Proposed to the Disclosure Rules for Mineral Projects

The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) have published for comment proposed  revisions to National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects  (NI 43-101). These represent the most substantive changes to NI 43-101 since it was  first adopted in 2001. The CSA have indicated that the proposed amendments are intended to provide more flexibility to mining issuers and qualified persons, while at the  same time seeking to maintain investor protection.
