"QP’s Responsibilities
It is the QP’s responsibility to comply with professional and industry standards, including best practices. If you as a QP are going to rely on other experts, you must satisfy yourself that it is reasonable to rely on these experts. The QP who is taking primary responsibility for the technical report must conduct a site visit. If several QPs are preparing and taking responsibility for the technical report, then the appropriate QP should visit the site. For example, if an operating mine has metallurgical issues, at a minimum, a metallurgical engineer should visit the site. Data verification is a key element of NI43-101. The QP must state whether data verification was conducted or not. If you didn’t verify the data, you must explain the reasons why."

"Property Terms
NI 43-101 defines two different types of properties - advanced property and early stage exploration property. “Advanced property” means: a property that has (a) mineral reserves or (b) mineral resources the potential economic viability of which is supported by a preliminary economic assessment, a pre-feasibility study or a feasibility study. Advanced properties have additional technical report form items to address that other properties would not need to, including additional illustrations. Advanced properties are permitted to disclose less detail regarding drilling in their technical reports. “Early stage exploration property” means: a property for which the technical report being filed has (a) no current mineral resources or mineral reserves defined; and (b) no drilling or trenching proposed. No site visit is required for a technical report for an early state exploration property."
