Overview

The Board is gathering evidence to help decide whether to start a project to develop proposals to replace IFRS 6, Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources.

Before deciding the scope and direction of this research project, the Board has asked those national standard-setters who contributed to an April 2010 Discussion Paper about extractive activities to make the Board aware of any developments since the paper’s publication.
