Our Values
These are not aspirations. They are non-negotiable standards that govern everything we do. No exceptions.
Core Principles
Accuracy
Every data point must match the source document exactly. We extract verbatim. We cite page numbers. We validate against originals. There is no room for approximation. Errors destroy trust, and we treat them accordingly.
Transparency
Every data point traces to its source. Our methodology is documented. Our limitations are stated. You can verify everything independently—you never have to take our word for it. If we cannot cite a source, we do not publish.
Integrity
We do not trade on the data we process. Period. No conflicts of interest. Client information stays confidential. Our incentives are aligned with your outcomes—not with transaction volume, not with engagement metrics, not with anything else.
Responsibility
Our data influences real capital allocation decisions. We take that seriously. Quality processes, human oversight, and rigorous validation are not optional—they are mandatory. We measure success by reliability, not volume.
Why These Principles Matter
Mining investments put significant capital at risk. A single project can require hundreds of millions of dollars. Bad data leads to bad decisions. The stakes are too high for anything less than absolute precision.
Errors compound. One misextracted grade, one incorrect resource estimate, one missed filing—these cascade into flawed analysis and costly mistakes. The price of inaccuracy is measured in real losses and missed opportunities.
Trust, once broken, does not come back. These values are not marketing copy. They are the operational foundation we build on every day.
Values in Data Sourcing
We source data exclusively from primary documents: regulatory filings, technical reports, and official corporate disclosures. No third-party aggregators. No news summaries. No secondary sources. Primary documents only.
Every extraction includes a citation to the specific document and page number. You can go directly from any data point to its source. This is not a feature—it is a requirement.
Source Verification Process
- Primary documents only (regulatory filings, NI 43-101, JORC, S-K 1300)
- Page-level citations for every data point
- Audit trail from raw document to structured output
- Human validation on complex extractions
- Clear flagging of uncertainty or ambiguity
Values in Analysis
Documented Methodologies
Every analytical process is documented. Resource aggregation rules, grade calculations, data normalization—all explained. You will know not just what the data shows, but exactly how we derived it.
Explicit Assumptions
Where we make assumptions, we state them. Metal prices, exchange rates, cutoff grades—all disclosed. You can substitute your own assumptions. We give you the inputs, not just the outputs.
Acknowledged Limitations
We do not pretend to be complete when we are not. Coverage gaps, quality issues, and extraction limitations are clearly noted. What we don't know matters as much as what we do.
Responsible Use of Technology
We use AI and machine learning to process data at scale. These tools let us handle millions of documents that would be impossible to review manually.
But technology is a tool, not a replacement for judgment. Complex extractions, ambiguous data, and edge cases go to qualified humans. We do not accept black-box outputs. Every automated process has human oversight. No exceptions.
We tell you what is automated and what involves human review. Technology accelerates our work. It does not replace the expertise required to do it right.
Ethical Standards
Beyond our core values, these ethical standards are mandatory. They govern how we operate as a company and as individuals.
Independence
We do not trade on the information we process. Commercial relationships do not influence our analysis. Full stop.
Confidentiality
Client data stays protected. We do not share client information. We do not sell usage data. Ever.
Compliance
We adhere to securities regulations and data protection laws in every jurisdiction we operate. Compliance is baseline, not aspiration.
Professionalism
Our team operates at the professional standard our institutional clients expect. Nothing less.
