Verification standard
A person records the finding. A score is not proof.
A check is dated. It shows what was evidenced, confirmed, disputed, or left open. Named counterparties on the ground do the work.
How a check is made
01
Evidence on the file
Papers, assays, and site notes are submitted. Submitted is not verified.
02
A person records the finding
Someone on the team writes what was evidenced, confirmed, disputed, or left open — with a date.
03
Work on the ground
Assay labs, mining offices, and people on the claim confirm what the papers claim. Submitted is not verified.
04
Status can change
New evidence, expiry, or a material gap can change the status. An old date is not a live check.
What we combine
01
Regulatory records
Mining rights, permits, legacy claims, registry checks, and the authority that issued them — dated against the source.
02
Ownership verification
Who stands behind the company and the right: beneficial owners, local-partner KYC, authority to act, and screening.
03
Site evidence
Someone went to the ground. Coordinates, inspection, sampling, the laboratory named, and plant-construction checks where commissioned.
04
Local intelligence
What people already there can confirm — community, local offices, government-interface papers, and named counterparties on the file.
05
ESG review
Environmental, social, community baseline, and safety evidence on the file. Open items stay open.
06
Chain-of-custody monitoring
Where the mineral moved, historical provenance on the file, who held it, and whether that chain is still being watched.
What the first file opens on
Three jobs sit at the front of every pack. The six layers sit on the same file. None of them is a generic Verified stamp.
01
Licence
Is the mining right real? We'll help you find out.
02
Owners
Who actually owns it, is it free and clear?
03
Source
Where the mineral came from, do you have proof?
Work on the file
Named jobs sit inside the six layers. A person records what was evidenced.

What we do not opine on
01
Not a resource report
We do not issue JORC, NI 43-101, or S-K 1300 technical reports. If those exist, they sit with the qualified person who signed them.
02
Not investment advice
We do not tell anyone to invest. We do not opine on price, credit, or future production.
03
Not a bank or escrow
We do not hold cargo, hold customer funds, or open letters of credit. You still need your own lawyer and your own bank.
04
Not a regulator
We are not a ministry, a laboratory, a broker, or a U.S. government office. A status on this site is not a licence and not a stamp.
Who records the work
The pack records evidence. Mine.Africa is not the seller. Glappy Capital is a United States company. If you commission a pack, that is due diligence support — not a Glappy Capital investment, not an offer, and not a recommendation.
