Compliance and Corporate reporting

High quality reporting is particularly imperative for the mining and minerals industry since, unlike many other industries, knowledge of its fundamental assets, namely the Mineral Resources, is always imperfect. For this reason, it is fundamental that all aspects of a mineral project are communicated in the most clear, transparent and unambiguous manner in order to mitigate risk to the potential investor.

Minxcon's Core Values

• To utilise vastly experienced technical staff with high professional standards
• To maintain our unquestionable independance
• To act with integrity at all times
• To provide innovative solutions
• To offer the highest quality of service

The ability to provide services and advice from the project inception stage, through the listing period, all the way to production and mine closure makes Minxcon an exceptionally diversified advisory company.

Reporting Codes such as the South African Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves ("the SAMREC Code"), the Australian Joint Ore Reserves Code ("the JORC Code") and the Canadian National Instrument 43 101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects are the main international Codes of Practice, which set out the minimum standards for the public reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral/Ore Reserves in the relevant countries.

Minxcon prides itself in having an in-depth understanding of all afore mentioned codes, and all reports produced by Minxcon adhere to a high standard of quality and compliance with one or all of the Reporting Codes. Minxcon understands that a cross discipline understanding of the integration of all the aspects of a mining/mineral project is imperative for clear, concise and independent reporting of all the critical issues of a project.

Minxcon's reports appear across the globe and have been filed on SEDAR, and have been accepted by the South African JSE as well as the Australian ASX. The following Reports and Reviews are undertaken by the Minxcon team:

  • Desktop Studies and Prospectivity Reports
  • Technical Reports
  • Competent/Qualified Persons Reports
  • Due Diligence Studies and Reports
  • Market Analyses and Commodity Reviews
