43-101 Reports
NI 43-101 is a Canadian securities regulation that establishes standards for all public disclosure of scientific and technical information about mineral projects. This includes written reports, oral presentations, and website postings.
The purpose of NI 43-101 is to ensure that investors receive accurate and reliable information about mineral projects, so that they can make informed investment decisions.
