GOVERNANCE & ASSURANCE
Keep decisions accountable.
Governance arrangements define how a mandate is exercised, amended and reviewed throughout an assignment.
Governance framework
Decision rights
Define which matters require principal approval and which may be delegated.
Delegations
Record the scope, limits and duration of each appointment and signing authority.
Change control
Document changes to scope, cost, timing or obligations before treating them as agreed.
Conflicts
Disclose interests that could affect a decision and record how they are addressed.
Exceptions
Assign an owner and escalation route to departures from the agreed mandate.
Records
Retain approved versions, decisions and supporting correspondence for review.
Opportunity discipline: credibility before commitment
A strong opportunity is not defined by enthusiasm. It is defined by evidence that survives disciplined questioning.
Authority & ownership
Who lawfully controls the right, mandate, product or decision? Are the entity, beneficial owners, signatories and roles verified?
Technical & access
What data, sampling, assay or process evidence exists? Are land, infrastructure, services and operating interfaces available?
Product & market
What saleable form, grade and quality are expected? Is there credible demand, buyer authority and a realistic pricing basis?
Logistics & capital
Can material move safely and economically to the delivery point? What must be funded, when, and under whose control?
Environment & stakeholders
Which authorisations and approved management instruments are required? Are community, leadership, labour and project-party expectations aligned?
Company documents
Shared privately, where appropriate.
Registration certificates, membership details and supporting company documents are confidential and are not published on this website. They may be shared privately, where appropriate and under confidentiality arrangements.
