NSX Silver Inc.: British Columbia Securities Commission Technical Disclosure Review
Historical Technical Reports
The BCSC has identified that certain technical disclosure contained in two historical reports for the Dios Padre Property which had previously been available on the NSX Silver website did not comply with NI 43-101. The reports in question are the MacKay and Snellman 1966 report and the ACA Howe 2005 report. NSX Silver has recently terminated the Dios Padre Property option agreement and no longer has any interest in the Property (see NSX Silver news release dated September 6, 2013), and accordingly all disclosure documents relating to the Dios Padre Property have been removed from the Company's website including the MacKay and Snellman 1966 report and the ACA Howe 2005 report.
The 43-101 non-compliant disclosure items identified by the BCSC were as follows; 1. the disclosure of non-compliant exploration target description on page 21 of the ACA Howe 2005 report which did not include the information required by section 2.3 (2) of NI 43-101, 2. the disclosure of "gross in-situ metal value" on page 21 of the ACA Howe 2005 report without taking into consideration operating and capital costs, metal recoveries, smelter costs and other factors relating to the potential mining, extraction and recovery of metals, and 3. the disclosure of historical resource estimates in the MacKay and Snellman 1966 report without providing the information required by section 2.4 of NI 43-101.
June 2012 Company Presentation
The BCSC review also identified the use of the word "orebody" in slide 23 of the NSX Silver June 2012 presentation which had been previously available on the NSX Silver website. The term "orebody" implies economic viability and treats the quantities as reserves. The Company acknowledges the utilization of the term "orebody" was not appropriate and has removed the presentation from its website.
Qualified Person Disclosure
The BCSC further identified that NSX Silver did not identify a Qualified Person in its June 30, 2013 Management Discussion & Analysis, website and presentation with respect to technical information disclosed therein. NSX Silver accordingly has withdrawn all previous website and presentation materials and is in the process of preparing new website materials under the review of a Qualified Person.
John E. Hiner, Licensed Geologist and Registered Member of SME, a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical information provided in this news release.
BCSC Technical Disclosure Review
The BCSC Compliance and Disclosure staff has the mandate to review the various public disclosure documents of companies which are reporting issuers in the British Columbia. For companies in the mineral exploration and mining sector, such reviews typically focus on compliance with NI 43-101. Earlier this year the BCSC issued a report titled 2012 Mining Report which highlights the results of the BCSC's mining technical disclosure reviews. A copy of the report is available on the BCSC website at: http://www.bcsc.bc.ca/uploadedFiles/companies/Mining/2012_Mining_Report.PDF
