CSA Proposes Amendments To Modernize And Streamline Mining Disclosure Standards

The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) is seeking feedback on proposed amendments to National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (The Proposed Amendments). They are being published for a 120-day comment period ending August 1, 2025.

The Proposed Amendments are intended to clarify, harmonize and streamline Canada’s mining disclosure regime without introducing any new requirements. The proposed amendments would update and enhance the standards for disclosing scientific and technical information about mineral projects to address evolving disclosure practices and policy considerations identified by CSA staff, and to reflect changing industry and investor expectations.

They are designed to:

  • remove or replace certain definitions and requirements that have become outdated
  • modernize and streamline certain requirements to reflect current industry practice
  • provide clarification and guidance on certain definitions and requirements, and
  • make other minor language changes to clarify disclosure requirements.

The Proposed Amendments to National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects)  are available for download from the websites of the participating jurisdictions.
