No, seeking a verifiable value of a discovery (which is what a National Instrument 43-101 is) does not hinder anything moving forward except on the Canadian Toronto Exchange I believe there is a requirement for verification of value, not on the Venture exchange.
A 43-101 is just one step in the process of mine start up. It is a necessary step because it proves value which can be literally "taken to the bank"
But most importantly..... It gives everyone something verifiable to cheer about!
