Pipeline / execution
From 100+ Identified Projects to Secured Asset Rights.
Screen mid-sized underground deposits where SMART can improve safety, productivity, recovery, dilution or time to first ore. Include assets with viable conventional alternatives and projects where SMART could provide the only viable path. Advance several candidates in parallel to identify the strongest first-mine opportunity.
Identified project universe
100+Identified projects
A preliminary screening universe spanning operating improvements and potential decisive unlocks.
- Known or defined mineralization
- Conventional mine plan constrained
- Engineering and economics determine advancement
Engineer + model
Independent SMART trade-off studies produce a conceptual mine plan and test schedule, recovery, dilution, capital and economics.
Secure rights + assemble
Secure option, joint-venture or acquisition rights to the strongest asset; engage the trusted contract-mining partner and advance feasibility, permitting and financing.
Independent engineering turns apparent fit into evidence-based transaction choices.
Start with one transaction—but validate several options across different timelines.
Illustrative screening case
A European gold project shows how the SMART screen works.
Illustrative placeholder • not controlled • true-unlock case not yet established
Defined resource
1.556 Moz reported: 1.208 Moz measured and indicated plus 348 koz inferred, stated separately.
Reported M&I grade
4.58 g/t gold provides a meaningful grade base for an underground trade-off.
Existing project record
Prior engineering, permitting work and regional infrastructure provide a more developed starting point.
Constraint
Coastal setting, landscape, groundwater and land-use concerns constrained the prior mine plan.
Why SMART may fit
Test whether less ground movement, groundwater interaction, dilution and development improve the project case.
What remains
Land-use approvals, consultation, metallurgy and access to offsite processing remain separate requirements.
