NI 43-101 Technical Reports, Scoping Studies, Preliminary Economic Assessments, Prefeasibility Studies and Definitive Feasibility Studies

The success of exploration and production companies in finding investment is dependent on the continual filing of National Instrument 43-101 Technical Reports. These are structured reports that provide investors with information on every conceivable aspect to aid the investment decision from the geoscientific and engineering perspectives. The authors of a Technical Report must have direct experience in the metals or process they are describing in the Technical Report, and as such, are called ‘Qualified Persons’ (Canada) or ‘Competent Persons’ (Australia). QPs and CPs are independent professionals with no prior connection to either the Property evaluated in the Technical Report or the issuer of the Technical Report.

GENIVAR geoscientists and engineers are regularly called upon to sign off sections of a Technical Report as ‘Qualified Persons’, which is a confirmatory stamp of expertise and experience. GENIVAR Qualified Persons are multilingual specialists in precious metals, base metals, minor metals and bulk commodities in the context of NI 43-101 exploration. GENIVAR’s engineers and geoscientists are also Qualified Persons in ore resource/ reserve calculation and geostatistical analysis in the context of NI 43-101 Scoping Studies and Preliminary Economic Assessments. GENIVAR’s mining and mineral processing engineers complete the team with specific skills needed for NI 43-101 compliant Prefeasibility Studies and Definitive Feasibility Studies.

You can trust GENIVAR for complete understanding of the regulatory and compliance environment of reporting issuers that bears on successful NI 43-101 Technical Report research and writing.

Featured Project: Feasibility study, Bracemac-McLeod, Matagami, Qc, Canada
Xstrata Zinc

• Demonstrate the profitability and feasibility of the Bracemac-McLeod project at the Matagami mining camp.
• Evaluate the best production methods and the required infrastructure.
• Use infrastructure from another closed Xstrata mine in order to reduce project costs and optimize the construction schedule.d

''Thanks to the development of the Bracemac-McLeod project, the Matagami community will continue to prosper by ensuring the continuity of the Perseverance mine. It is gratifying to realize that the efforts of our expert team make a real difference in people’s lives.''

Réjean Fournier, Project manager, infrastructures
 

GENIVAR carried out a detailed feasibility study for this project involving Bracemac-McLeod’s zinc mine. GENIVAR’s efforts demonstrated the project’s profitability and ensured continuity in Xstrata’s installation operations at the Matagami mining camp. The mandate included designing the mining methods, designing the underground and surface infrastructure, carrying out the cost and financial analyses and issuing the NI 43-101 report. Following a favourable project start-up decision, GENIVAR’s team was commissioned to manage the infrastructure construction work.
