Concession & rights
Identity of the concession or source, ownership or authority to sell, location, operating status and relevant documentation.
Project evaluation
Review the asset
before defining
the execution
route.
We look at a project as more than a grade, a concession or a geological story. We want to understand where the mineral comes from, how representative the data is, how it is likely to behave in processing, and whether there is a practical route to market.
Review framework
Four questions before capital or purchase is committed.
Our review is designed to separate an interesting geological story from an opportunity that can actually be verified, processed and marketed.
Geology & data
Geology, mineralization, sampling, assays, QA/QC, continuity and representativeness of available information.
Metallurgy & product
Mineralogy, liberation, process testing, recovery, mass pull, impurities and commercial product quality.
Execution & market
Access, tonnage, logistics, plant or toll-processing capacity, target buyer, terms and constraints.
Minimum data
Decision quality depends on evidence quality.
Our team structures the initial information first, so we can identify the real gaps before committing time and money to sampling, testwork or processing campaigns.
01
Mine, concession, supplier and commercial-relationship identification.
02
Coordinates, access, relevant workings or stockpiles and photographic evidence where appropriate.
03
Analytical results with available method, laboratory, date, sample identity and QA/QC.
04
Tonnage, particle size, moisture, mineralogy and previous metallurgical work.
05
Processing, transport, packing, export and final-product constraints.
Source control
Build traceability from the start.
We build traceability into the project review from the start. Mineral origin, approvals, dispatch and receiving should be reconstructable from controlled records before the opportunity advances.
