Miners that cannot back up sustainability and governance claims with hard data risk losing access to capital as disclosure rules tighten and lenders demand proof, Onyen founder and CEO Laurie Clark said.
The pressure is greatest on junior miners with small teams and limited systems. Onyen’s platform pulls from 650,000 sources, flags reporting gaps and helps companies keep disclosure records ready for lenders, regulators and outside review.
“If you do not do this reporting, you will not get your money. No longer. That’s it,” Clark told The Northern Miner’s Western Editor, Henry Lazenby, during the recent PDAC convention in Toronto.
Sustainability disclosure is moving closer to financial reporting as regulators, lenders and investors demand evidence that can withstand assurance, Clark said. Governance and social data are now drawing as much scrutiny as emissions, water and energy figures, she added.
