The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) has published proposed amendments to National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and is seeking feedback on changes intended to clarify, harmonize and streamline Canada’s mining disclosure regime without introducing new requirements. The proposals would update standards for disclosing scientific and technical information about mineral projects to reflect evolving disclosure practices, policy considerations identified by CSA staff, and changing industry and investor expectations. Key elements include removing or replacing outdated definitions and requirements, modernizing and streamlining provisions to align with current industry practice, adding clarification and guidance on certain definitions and requirements, and making minor language changes to improve clarity. The proposed amendments are open for a 120-day comment period and are available on CSA member websites.
