Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument 43-101

Mining and mineral exploration companies that issue reports in Canada must follow the national standards for public information disclosure defined in the Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument (NI) 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and Form 43-101F1. These rules and guidelines aim to protect investors by improving the accuracy and integrity of the scientific and technical information companies provide about their mineral reserves and resources.

  • NI 43-101 prescribes when, and in what format, technical reports must be filed—as well as whether or not the Qualified Persons (QPs) must be independent of the company and property.
  • Form 43-101F1 prescribes how technical reports must be prepared and what they must include.

SRK employs experienced QPs who satisfy NI 43-101 requirements for independent reporting at all phases of exploration and mining projects. Our consultants specialize in identifying risks and potential liabilities and in finding practical solutions to your challenges.
