Five non-negotiable principles that govern every mission.
Publishing our doctrine in full means accepting to be held to it. Our doctrine is public, it binds the legal entity, it applies to every contract without exception.
-
The subsoil belongs to the Nation that welcomes us.
The principle. Elohim Consulting acquires no mining title in its own name. No exploration permit, no exploitation permit, no hidden interest in any holding company.
The evidence. Every mission is governed by a mandate or contractual delegation signed with the host State or its authorised representative. Our by-laws expressly forbid direct acquisition of mining titles.
-
All geological data produced becomes exclusive property of the host State.
The principle. Geological reports, geophysical data, analytical results, 3D modelling, cadastral digital twin: everything is returned to the State at the end of each campaign.
The evidence. Signed return certificate, legal deposit with the national mining cadastre, training of public officials in the use of delivered data.
-
International standards applied without exception.
The principle. JORC 2012 or NI 43-101 for resource classification. IFC Performance Standards and Equator Principles for ESG. ICMM for responsible mining practice. EITI for transparency.
The evidence. Reports signed by a Competent Person member of AusIMM, CIM, SME or equivalent. ESG audits by tier-1 firms. Publication of flows in national EITI reports.
-
Local content prioritised, measured, published.
The principle. National employment, national subcontracting, training, skills transfer. Local content is not a slogan — it is a dashboard.
The evidence. Annual publication of indicators: percentage of national jobs, value of national subcontracting, training hours delivered, public officials trained to read technical reports.
-
Financial transparency and sovereign arbitration.
The principle. Annual audit by a Big Four firm, EITI-compliant publication, arbitration under CCJA for any contractual dispute.
The evidence. Certified accounts filed with the registry. CCJA arbitration clause in every contract. No offshore jurisdiction clause or exotic fiscal domicile.
Our doctrine applies to every mission, under every jurisdiction, whatever the technical or financial partner involved. It is restated in every framework agreement. It is enforceable in the event of dispute.
If a project requires us to depart from a principle, we do not take the project. This rigour is our differentiator, not a commercial handicap.
