True Grade
The costly gap
The return slide is easy to understand. The evidence underneath it is where real diligence begins.

Read the numbers behind the grade.
02
Ask operators sharper questions.

Spot missing evidence before it costs you.
The TRUE GRADE™ method
A deal is more than a grade in the ground.
Nine connected checks bring the story back to what can be proven—and what needs more work.
R02
Resource evidence
Sampling, drilling, grade, continuity, and recoverability.
U03
Underlying geology
Whether the deposit model can carry the story.
E04
Economics
Costs, recovery, pricing, dilution, and sensitivity.
G05
Governance & people
Incentives, partners, history, and execution ability.
R06
Risks & red flags
Missing proof, permitting, infrastructure, and operating risk.
A07
Assumptions
What must be true for projected returns to happen.
D08
Decision
The evidence needed to proceed, pause, or walk away.
E09
Exit & execution
How the project makes cash, liquidity, or exit value.
The prettiest slide can hide the riskiest deal.
