"which one is right? PFS or BFS?"
The PFs. is an early document produced not for the purpose of selling the company. An assessment if it will be a viable project. It is mainly for the issuing companies own benefit. To that end we all know it is. It will some day be a mine.
As you are aware the much more detailed, final BFs. Is a document upon which sale prices will be negotiated with other parties. Falsification there is a criminal offense.
"400. (1) Every one who makes, circulates or publishes a prospectus, a statement or an account, whether written or oral, that he knows is false in a material particular, with intent (a) to induce persons, whether ascertained or not, to become shareholders or partners in a company, (b) to deceive or defraud the members, shareholders or creditors, whether ascertained or not, of a company, or (c) to induce any person to (i) entrust or advance anything to a company, or (ii) enter into any security for the benefit of a company, is ... liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years. (2) In this section, "company" means a syndicate, body corporate or company, whether existing or proposed to be created."
Additional charges could be considered under Code sections 363, 366 and 380 and others. Plus the ramifications it may have under provincial and civil laws.
There for I would suggest the final BFs is accurate.
And Yes the RCMP does have a white collard crime unit.
