Draft CIM Uranium Leading Practice Guidelines available for industry comment
The CIM Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (MRMR) Committee develops and defines the standards, leading practices and guidelines that are intended to foster greater standardization of reporting within the public domain, specifically under NI 43-101. These standards provide a benchmark for both companies and Qualified Persons in discharging their responsibilities. CIM MRMR’s mandate includes maintaining and updating of the standards and guidelines, including the CIM Uranium Leading Practice Guidelines (“Uranium LP Guidelines”), and to undertake a program of industry and CIM member consultation prior to submitting updates to CIM Council for approval.
The current version of the CIM Uranium Guidelines was accepted by the CIM Council on November 23, 2003. The CIM MRMR Committee has carried out a review and proposed update of the CIM Uranium Guidelines. The proposed changes to the CIM Uranium Guidelines reflect current views of leading practices in respect to the preparation of Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates for uranium.
The CIM MRMR Committee is circulating a draft of the proposed changes and updates to the CIM Uranium LP Guidelines and is soliciting public review and comment. Copies of the draft version of the proposed updated document in PDF format are available here for downloading and review.
Interested parties are invited to submit comments and suggestions by Sunday, March 31, 2024.
