Event DetailsThe Dodd-Frank Act as it Applies to Canadian Companies
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act") was signed
into law on July 21, 2010. It makes important changes to the laws governing the disclosure
requirements applicable to U.S. and foreign reporting issuers. It primarily affects Canadian companies
listed on U.S. exchanges, but other Canadian businesses can be affected by the Dodd-Frank Act as
well. Among the miscellaneous disclosure provisions, there are specific provisions that deal with mine
safety, payments by resource extraction issuers and additional corporate governance and executive
compensation disclosure.Wednesday, April 20, 2011

Proposed Amendments to NI 43-101-Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects - What Lawyers and Miners Need to Know
The proposed amendments to National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure For Mineral
Projects (the "NI 43-101") are the first major changes to NI 43-101 proposed since its inception in
2001. The proposed changes are the result of nine years of regulatory experience, broad consultation
through focus groups and a public comment process. The adoption of the proposed amendments
would result in an amended and restated NI 43-101, including Companion Policy to NI 43-101-
Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and Form 43-101F1 Technical Report. It is anticipated
that the changes will provide cost savings and efficiencies for mining companies without compromising
investor protection.
