On August 24, 2017, DBRS Limited (DBRS) published an updated “Rating Companies in the Mining Industry” methodology. The updates were fine-tuning in nature and did not result in any rating actions. The most notable changes were meant to refine the Business Risk Assessment factor related to the diversification of revenue by commodity and have now been incorporated into the Mining Peer Comparison Table published on the DBRS website.

Notes:
The principal methodology is Rating Companies in the Mining Industry (August 2017), which can be found on dbrs.com under Methodologies.
