Mining Disclosure

Effective date: v1.3 October 25, 2025
Scope: This page applies to any mining or exploration content we create or distribute on SilverWars.com, SilverWars.org, our newsletters, social posts, videos, PDFs, and off site placements.

Purpose

Readers and issuers should know exactly how we handle scientific and technical statements in paid and editorial content. This page lays out the plain English rules we follow for Canadian NI 43-101, and how we map similar concepts to other regions so that content is accurate, balanced, and properly labeled.

Quick rules at a glance

  • Websites count as written disclosure. These rules apply to articles, graphics, videos, and social posts that include technical claims.
  • We attribute technical content to a Qualified Person when NI 43-101 applies, and we name them on the page.
  • We cite the effective date and link to the source technical report on SEDAR+ or the issuer’s filings hub.
  • We present drill and study results with context, not highlight only the best intervals.
  • We avoid calling resources “ore” and we use defined terms consistently.
  • Forward looking statements sit beside the claim, not only in the footer.
  • Sponsored units carry the Paid advertisement banner described in our Sponsored Content Policy.

When NI 43-101 applies

If the issuer is a Canadian reporting issuer, or the content repeats scientific or technical information that the issuer has disclosed under NI 43-101, we apply the NI 43-101 standards here. If the issuer is not Canadian, we still follow similar controls so readers get clear, sourced information.

What must appear on the page

  1. Qualified Person attribution
    Include the QP’s full name, professional designation, and whether the QP is independent of the issuer.
  2. Source and effective date
    Name the document and effective date, and link to the technical report on SEDAR+ or the issuer’s filings page.
  3. Balanced presentation of results
    Do not present only the strongest intercepts. Include method, true width if known, context on cut off, and whether results are preliminary. If true width is unknown, say so.
  4. Terminology
    Use “mineral resources,” “mineral reserves,” “inferred,” “indicated,” “measured,” and similar terms as defined. Do not label resources as “ore.”
  5. Historical estimates and exploration targets
    If using either, add the required cautionary language that the estimates are historical or conceptual in nature and not current mineral resources or reserves.
  6. PEA, PFS, and FS statements
    Identify the study type. Do not imply reserve level certainty for a PEA. If economic results are cited, provide key inputs and assumptions in summary form and point readers to the full report.
  7. Metallurgy and recovery
    When quoting recovery or process outcomes, identify the test type, sample selection, and lab level if provided by the issuer.
  8. Maps, sections, and images
    Use scale bars and captions. Identify the source. Avoid stylized overlays that could confuse location, scale, or orientation.
  9. Issuer confirmation
    For sponsored items, the issuer confirms that the statements match current public disclosure.

QP attribution lines

Whichever line fits the context.

  • General statement
    “Scientific and technical information in this section was reviewed and approved by [QP name, designation], [independent or not independent] of [Issuer], with an effective date of [date]. See SEDAR+ for the issuer’s technical reports.”
  • Drill results
    “Drill results are reported as [downhole length or true width], at a cut off of [value and units], using [assay method and lab if disclosed]. True width is [known and stated, or unknown].”
  • Historical or target
    “The following is a [historical estimate or exploration target] and is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient work to classify it as a current mineral resource and it should not be relied upon as such.”

Forward looking information box

Place this box immediately adjacent to any projections about plans, timelines, production, costs, funding, or other non historical statements.

Forward looking information
This content includes forward looking information based on assumptions about commodity prices, financing, permits, development timelines, and other factors. Actual results may differ due to risks described in the issuer’s public filings. The issuer has no obligation to update these statements except as required by law.

Regional notes, how we map similar concepts

United States

  • For US listed mining registrants, we reference SEC Regulation S K 1300 terms and, where available, we link to the issuer’s Technical Report Summary rather than a NI 43-101 report.
  • We avoid investment advice. Sponsored items are advertising, see our Sponsored Content Policy.
  • Emails and privacy rules are addressed in the Privacy Policy.

Australia

  • Where the issuer discloses under the JORC Code 2012, we include a Competent Person line that names the person and membership and states whether consent to quote has been provided.
  • We avoid mixing JORC resource terminology with NI 43-101 terms in a way that could mislead. If both appear, we present each in its own terms.

Europe, including the UK and EEA

  • Where an issuer uses PERC or quotes a statement aligned with SAMREC, we reproduce the Competent Person statement as provided and identify the code used.
  • Ads are labeled clearly at the top per our Sponsored Content Policy.

Canada

  • We follow NI 43-101 as outlined above and we add the QP line and effective date.
  • We keep issuer promotional activity aligned with exchange expectations, including TSXV and CSE, through visible labels and records.

Mexico

  • Spanish language versions of sponsored items carry clear Publicidad pagada por [Emisor] labels.
  • Technical statements mirror the issuer’s public filings. We do not add new technical claims that are not already disclosed.

Prohibited or high risk phrasing

  • Do not call resources “ore.”
  • Do not state or imply certainty where the study level does not support it.
  • Avoid superlatives such as “world class” unless the issuer has provided a clear, objective benchmark.

Process and records

For each item with technical content we keep, at minimum, the issuer confirmation, QP or Competent Person confirmation where applicable, the effective date, the source links, and the publication dates. We retain these records for three years.
