What this advisory work is not
This advisory work records independent analysis performed for a stated client, purpose, scope, period and authorised recipients. It is not an official government rating and is not issued by, endorsed by or equivalent to any government mine-rating system.
It is not certification or accreditation, an assurance opinion, a legal-compliance opinion, a statutory inspection, engineering certification, a reserve or resource statement, a valuation or financial opinion, or a substitute for competent legal, technical, environmental, safety, social, financial or regulatory review.
Conclusions reflect the evidence made available and the interviews, observations, data extracts and samples described in the deliverable. Sampling cannot demonstrate conditions outside assessed locations, periods, shifts, activities, contractors or facilities. Missing, contradictory, late or unreliable evidence may reduce confidence, activate a cap or cause an overall level to be withheld. No conclusion guarantees safety, sustainability, compliance, control effectiveness or future performance.
The work must be interpreted with its scope, exclusions, confidence, coverage, critical-control gates, assumptions and unresolved matters. Material technical or jurisdiction-dependent conclusions require appropriately competent specialists and qualified local legal advisers. Reliance, distribution, confidentiality, retention and third-party use are limited by the governing engagement terms.
