Approach
Navigate by
what's already
visible.
Sailors crossed oceans by reading points of light. Nothing was hidden — it had to be found, plotted, and trusted.
Mining deals fail the same way. The disqualifying fact is rarely secret; it's scattered across filings, courts, permits, and satellite passes that nobody assembled. We built software to assemble it.
Technology
Built in-house.
Run on every
mandate.
Four systems, developed and maintained by Starcodes.
OSINT diligence engine
ProprietaryContinuous automated collection across corporate registries, securities filings, court records, permit databases, sanctions lists, and local-language press — resolved to entities and cross-verified against primary records.
Geospatial verification
ImagerySatellite time-series over the licence area. Confirms that declared activity, infrastructure, and development stage exist on the ground — and flags encroachment, artisanal workings, and dormancy the reports omit.
Investor intelligence engine
AI-drivenModels organize data to build structured intel for investor — commodity, stage, jurisdiction, ticket size, and the lines they won't cross. The network stays current without being maintained by hand.
Mine Vault
PlatformThe matching layer. Projects and capital declare structured profiles; the system routes what fits and screens it against the diligence engine before anyone's time is spent.
Services
Four tiers,
one instrument.
Engage at the depth the decision requires.
Screening Report
Fixed feeA fast read on whether an asset is worth your time. Ownership, permits, principals, litigation, jurisdiction — enough to say yes, no, or not yet.
Full DD Dossier
FlagshipThe complete instrument. Technical, title, counterparty, community, environmental, and satellite-verified site activity — one defensible file, every finding sourced.
Deal Packaging
Project feeAssets that are real but unpresentable, made investable. Teaser, memorandum, model, data room, and a narrative that survives a hostile first meeting.
Advisory Mandate
Retainer + success feeSustained representation through a transaction — identification, outreach, negotiation, and closing, with the diligence engine running underneath.
The platform No cost
Mine Vault
Most projects never reach the right investor. The gap isn't quality — it's routing.
Both sides declare a structured profile. Matches surface automatically, pre-screened against our diligence layer. Free to enter, either direction.
Where we work
Sound geology,
difficult ground.
Mandates where the rock is fine and the complexity is everything else.
Precious metals
Gold and silver, exploration through development-stage financing.
Critical minerals
Battery and defence-chain inputs where offtake and jurisdiction drive value.
Energy
Conventional and transitional assets requiring structured capital.
African resources
Mandates where counterparty and permit verification decide the outcome.
North America
Canadian and US assets, including cross-border and listing pathways.
Frontier jurisdictions
Markets where public information is thin and verification is the whole job.
