A new U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) standard changes how publicly traded mining companies must submit their financial filings. The SEC’s mineral resource and reserve reporting standards, commonly called S-K 1300, went into effect January 1, 2021. Any U.S. security registrant who has a mining operation that is material to its business or financial condition must adhere to these new reporting standards. Differing significantly from the previous Guide 7 reporting standards, new standards align more closely to the Committee for Mineral Reserves International Reporting Standards.
