On June 30, 2011 amendments to National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) will become effective. There will be an updated and more flexible rule (“New NI 43-101”) in place for mining issuers. New NI 43-101 reflects issuer and regulator experience with NI 43-101, and changes in the mining industry that have occurred over the years.
