JORC 2012 compliance
Our disclosure standard
At Mountain Mine Q, professional integrity underpins every stage of our exploration program. Where public or partner-facing technical disclosure is required, reporting and governance are aligned with the JORC 2012 Code to ensure transparency, materiality and competent oversight.
- Competent person framework: Technical disclosures and key technical workstreams are overseen or reviewed by appropriately experienced professionals who meet the requirements of the JORC Code.
- Transparent and defensible reporting: We apply the JORC Table 1 “if not, why not” principle, clearly documenting material assumptions across sampling methods, analytical techniques and geological interpretation.
- Progressive technical maturity: Our exploration roadmap is structured to advance from conceptual targets to higher-confidence datasets only as results justify progression.
Rigorous QA/QC
Ensuring sample precision
Reliable data is fundamental to disciplined discovery. Mountain Mine Q applies a robust QA/QC framework that monitors quality at every stage, from field sampling through to laboratory analysis.
- Structured quality control: Quality control samples are inserted on a program-dependent basis and typically include:
- Certified reference materials
- Blanks
- Field and pulp duplicates
- Independent validation: Check assays may be conducted at secondary laboratories where appropriate to confirm analytical accuracy.
- Clear documentation: All samples, drilling and analytical data are logged and documented to support auditability, partner review and future diligence requirements.
Unified data governance
A single source of truth
Operating primarily in Western Australia and selectively across the Northern Territory and South Australia requires consistent standards and centralised data control.
- Centralised cloud database: Field data, assay certificates, geological interpretations and GIS layers are stored in a unified cloud-based environment to support collaboration and version control.
- Automated QA/QC checks: Quality control flagging and validation workflows are applied at the point of data import, enabling rapid identification and resolution of issues.
- Auditability and security: Documented chain-of-custody processes and audit trails are maintained to support accountability and technical assurance.
The path to scoping studies (2028–2030)
Operational excellence is ultimately what supports the conversion of technical data into economic insight.
Metallurgical characterisation
Early-stage metallurgical testwork may be undertaken where results justify initial recovery and processing assessment.
Density and geotechnical inputs
Density measurements and geotechnical logging are progressively incorporated as projects advance, supporting the development of technically robust and economically defensible models.
