Verification Methodology

Evidence, traced to source. Findings, traced to evidence.

Every engagement follows the same disciplined sequence — adapted to jurisdiction, commodity and materiality, but never abbreviated.

The five-step verification process

1
01
Intake & Scope
Confidential briefing to define transaction context, materiality thresholds, jurisdictions and scope boundaries — captured in a signed engagement letter.
2
02
Documentary Verification
Registry, cadastral, corporate, tax and compliance record checks against original-source authorities in each jurisdiction.
3
03
Independent Field & Technical Checks
Site attendance, sampling coordination, laboratory verification and technical file review by qualified geologists and field agents.
4
04
Risk Assessment
Structured evaluation of findings across licence, ownership, technical, counterparty, compliance and transaction-execution risk categories.
5
05
Final Assurance Report
A confidential, evidence-referenced report with clear findings, residual risk commentary and recommended transaction safeguards.

We are not remunerated by transaction outcomes. Our findings do not depend on a deal closing.

Every material assertion in our reports is anchored to a documented, source-traced piece of evidence.

Findings are made only within the agreed scope. Boundaries and limitations are stated in the report.
