Interesting. In our company we must go around at 100 above minimum if not visual so I assumed it was always a MDA while doing a NPA regardless of doing a CFDA or 'Dive and Drive' technique. . It's a fail item in the sim if we go below the minimum. I guess it's only a company or aviation authority restriction.
