On 16 June 2016, the SEC issued a proposed rule (available
here), which, if adopted, would result in a revamp of its disclosure requirements for mining companies. The proposed
changes include:
requiring the disclosure of mining resources (currently
prohibited under SEC rules);
requiring that every disclosure of mineral resources, mineral
reserves and material exploration results reported in a
company's filed registration statements and reports be based
on, and accurately reflect, information and supporting
documentation prepared by a "qualified person;" and
providing one standard requiring companies to disclose mining
operations that are material to the company's business or
financial condition and formalising guidance that mining operations
constituting 10% or more of a company's total assets are
presumed material.
