LOL... there is absolutely no fraud for a company to use that standard if they wish... it is just a way to present information... doesn't mean they won't use other standards too...
And in time you will find this out... as all proceeds forward...
No fraud, just because you intend to file a NI 43-101. If a Mining company intends to raise funds or trade on an Canadian exchange in Canada they need to file a NI 43-101. My guess is that they intend to trade in Canada as well as in the US. For example:
