Preliminary On-Site Verification for Mineral Buyers and Project Partners

King Mining’s Mine Site Inspection & Preliminary Verification service gives mineral buyers, investors, processing companies and strategic partners a structured first-hand view of an approved mine, mineral project, stockpile or related facility in Afghanistan.

The service is designed to help clients gather preliminary commercial and operational information before making decisions about sampling, laboratory testing, procurement, investment, technical cooperation or further due diligence.

• One approved mine, mineral project, facility or stockpile
• One full on-site inspection day
• Pre-visit review of available project information
• Visual inspection of accessible areas
• General observations concerning the site and surrounding conditions
• Observations of visible mineralization, ROM material or stockpiles
• Observations of available machinery, infrastructure and site access

• Smelters and processing companies
• International traders
• Investors

Important Scope Limitation

This service provides preliminary visual and documentary observations only.

It does not constitute:

• A formal mineral resource estimate
• A mineral reserve statement
• A geological exploration report
• A bankable feasibility study
• A legal-title opinion
• A mining licence verification
• A certified mineral-grade guarantee
• A formal engineering certification
• An environmental or regulatory audit

No mineral grade, volume, reserve, ownership status or commercial performance is guaranteed unless it is separately assessed under an expressly agreed technical scope.

Sampling and Laboratory Testing

Sampling and laboratory analysis are not included in the USD 1,500 base inspection price.

Where stronger verification is required, the client may request additional services such as:

• Professional Sampling & Chain of Custody
• Sample Preparation
• Laboratory Analysis
• Stockpile Volume Assessment
• Accompanying Geologist

Professional sampling may involve collecting multiple increments from a defined lot, stockpile, mine face or production stream. Those increments may then be combined and prepared to produce one or more representative laboratory samples.

All inspections are subject to:

• Mine-owner or project-owner approval
• Confirmation of site accessibility
• Local permissions
• Operational conditions
• Security conditions
• Weather and route conditions
• Availability of relevant personnel

The client must disclose the intended purpose of the inspection and any specific technical concerns before the visit.

Booking and Scheduling

Submitting an order does not automatically guarantee immediate site access.

King Mining will review the requested location, mineral, inspection objective, proposed schedule and access conditions before confirming the inspection date.

Where the requested site cannot be inspected safely or lawfully, King Mining may propose a revised schedule, an alternative arrangement or cancellation of the service.

Confidentiality

Project documents, technical information and non-public site information provided for the inspection will be handled as commercially sensitive information.

Confidentiality obligations may also be defined through a separate non-disclosure agreement where required.

Optional Services

Clients can extend the inspection by adding technical specialists, professional sampling, laboratory coordination, additional inspection days, enhanced documentation or post-inspection commercial consultation.
