NI 43-101: A Canadian regulatory instrument governing disclosure of scientific and technical information about mineral projects, primarily for companies listed on Canadian stock exchanges. Reports must be prepared or supervised by a Qualified Person and follow strict rules for disclosing mineral resources and reserves.
Â
Key aspects include:
•   Qualified Person (QP): Reports must be prepared or supervised by a "Qualified Person" (a professional engineer or geoscientist with relevant experience).eg. Balke & PartnersÂ
•   Standardization: It enforces strict guidelines for classifying and reporting mineral resources and mineral reserves, ensuring consistency in how the potential value of a deposit is communicated. Â
Â
Other Major International Reporting Standards
While NI 43-101 is prominent, it is part of a global framework of reporting standards, many of which are aligned under the CRIRSCO (Committee for Mineral Reserves International Reporting Standards) umbrella to promote international best practices.Â
Choosing the Right Standard
Although many reporting codes follow similar resource and reserve concepts, the appropriate standard
depends on the jurisdiction, target investor market, stock exchange context, and project maturity.
A company listed on the TSX may require NI 43-101; a company listed on the ASX may require JORC;
European, South African, U.S., or Russian projects may require other aligned standards.
​
For quarry owners and investors, the choice of which report to commission often depends on:
1.   Jurisdiction: Where the project is located.
2.   Target Market: Where the company is listed or where investors are based (e.g., a company listed
     on the TSX requires an NI 43-101; a company listed on the ASX requires a JORC report).
3.   Project Maturity: Whether the report is for early-stage exploration, a feasibility study for
    development, or ongoing production monitoring.
