Disclosure Standards
for Companies Engaged
in Mineral Exploration,
Development & Production

X Use
All resource and reserve estimations disclosed must
provide the name of the qualified person responsible for
the calculation and his/her relationship to the company.
The company must also state whether, and how, any independent
verification of the data has been performed.
Particular care should be taken to distinguish between
resources and reserves so that they are not assumed to be
equivalent in the mind of the reader.
Resources and reserves should, whenever possible, be
published in a manner so as not to confuse the reader as
to the potential of the deposit. Inferred resources must
not be aggregated with measured and indicated resources
nor proven and probable reserves, as the case may be.
Any categories of resources and reserves which are aggregated
must also be disclosed separately.
When reserves are first reported, the key economic parameters
of the analysis must be provided, such as operating
and capital cost assumptions, and the assumed prices of
the mineral commodities which could be produced. If the
prices used differ from the current prices of the commodities,
an explanation should be given, including the
effect on the economics of the project if current prices
were used.
Sensitivity analyses may be used to provide a better understanding
of the effects of changes in commodity prices
on the economics of the project.
All reported quantities of resources and reserves must
be expressed in terms of tonnage and grade. Contained
ounces of gold, for example, should not be disclosed
out of the context of the tonnage and grade of a deposit,
with the possible exception of the resources and reserves
of mining companies which have more than one mine in
production. In that case, the company should not aggregate
contained minerals from properties that are not in
production with those that are in production.
