On October 31, 2018, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted new mining property disclosure requirements. The new rules have significant implications for existing and new listings on U.S. stock exchanges. Public issuers (including owners, operators and royalty companies) engaged in mining operations traded in U.S. stock exchanges must comply with the new rules for their first fiscal year beginning on, or after, January 1, 2021.
This short course provides an overview to help mining companies and investors understand the new disclosure requirements and provide management with a strategy for navigating the changes and achieving compliance ahead of time. You will learn how to navigate the new SEC regulations with a staged, yet comprehensive approach.
