Acquiring or entering a subsoil use project is not just about accessing a deposit. It’s about legal obligations, geological assumptions, and administrative risks. And too often, behind polished documentation lie debts, violations, and legal uncertainty.
What investors and subsoil users face without proper due diligence:
A contract or license appears valid, but has outstanding mandatory payments — a direct risk of revocation
Failure to meet Work Program (LKU) obligations — fines, suspension, or cancellation of subsoil rights
The contract states copper, but gold is discovered — triggering the need to revise contractual terms
“Paper geology”: outdated reports, unverified resources, non-compliance with JORC, NI 43-101, Kazakhstan GKZ, or KazRC standards
Internal shareholder conflicts, hidden liabilities, diverted assets — corporate risks invisible without deep analysis
Environmental reporting violations — a basis for sanctions from regulators
When mistakes cost millions
Imagine this: an investor acquires a project based on internal geological documentation. A year later, the resources turn out to be unconfirmed, and the data outdated. The loss? Over $5 million.
Another scenario: after closing the deal, the exploration license is revoked due to the previous owner’s non-compliance with LKU. The new owner failed to check this in time — and loses everything.
Aurora Minerals Group delivers comprehensive due diligence, including:
Legal review of contracts, licenses, permits, and corporate structure
Geological audit in accordance with international standards (JORC, NI 43-101), as well as Kazakhstan’s GKZ and KazRC
Verification of LKU compliance, rental and tax obligations
Analysis of regulatory, market, ESG, and infrastructure-related risks
Preparation of an objective project profile and recommendations for risk mitigation
Before signing a deal, ask yourself:
Is this contract really secure from revocation?
Are the geological data validated — or just attractively packaged?
Are there hidden debts or liabilities not disclosed in documents?
Who truly controls the asset and access to geological data?
We assess the project before it becomes your problem.
