6 terms

free carried financial

"First Mining's interest in PC Gold is free carried to a decision to mine"

Feasibility Study financial

"Springpole Gold Project in northwestern Ontario, where we have commenced a Feasibility Study"

A feasibility study is an assessment that evaluates whether a proposed project or idea is practical and likely to succeed before investing significant time and resources. It considers factors like costs, potential benefits, and challenges, helping stakeholders decide if moving forward makes sense. Think of it as a detailed plan that gauges if a new venture is worth pursuing.

PEA-stage financial

"the Duparquet Gold Project in Quebec, a PEA-stage development project"

Environmental Impact Statement / Environmental Assessment technical

"final Environmental Impact Statement / Environmental Assessment for the project submitted in November 2024"

NI 43-101 regulatory

"certain estimates prepared in accordance with NI 43-101"

A Canadian regulatory standard that sets the rules for how mining and exploration companies must report mineral resources and reserves, requiring technical reports prepared or signed off by an independent, certified expert. It matters to investors because it creates a consistent, transparent “inspection report” for mining projects, making it easier to compare prospects, judge the reliability of claims, and assess geological and financial risk before investing.

Multi-Jurisdictional Disclosure System regulatory

"eligible to rely upon the Canada-U.S. Multi-Jurisdictional Disclosure System"

A multi-jurisdictional disclosure system is a coordinated filing and publication process that lets companies share required financial, regulatory, or corporate information across several legal regions at once. Think of it like posting the same important notice on multiple community bulletin boards simultaneously so everyone who needs it — investors, regulators, and markets in different countries — sees the same, timely details. For investors this matters because it reduces delays and inconsistencies, making it easier to compare risks and make informed decisions when securities trade in more than one place.
