SOURCED CONTEXT
What the sources establish
Ghana's Minerals Commission publishes mineral-rights and licence guidance and operates an online repository with information about issued rights and licences.
A repository search is one input. It cannot by itself establish a proposed transaction's full legal position, technical grade, recoverability, or commercial viability.
AUSAG ASSESSMENT
Why it matters for a partner
AUSAG would separate four questions: who may lawfully grant access or rights; what independent technical evidence supports the material; whether the economics survive realistic costs and recovery assumptions; and what environmental, community, and operating obligations apply.
The decision to commission validation should be documented before sampling begins. Scope, chain of custody, laboratory work, reporting, funding, and decision rights should be agreed with the parties and independent specialists.
NEXT DECISION
What we would verify
- What rights exist today, in whose name, and over which area or material?
- Who controls sampling, custody, laboratory selection, and the final technical report?
- Which costs, recoveries, permits, and local obligations determine the economics?
- What evidence and agreement are required before the next payment?
