Access the biodiversity intelligence you need to secure permits, cut closure costs, and meet IFC PS6 baselines.
Speak to the teamFor mining and extractives, biodiversity has become a bankability issue. Permitting hinges on IFC PS6-aligned baselines and TNFD disclosure, lenders and auditors expect data that is credible and repeatable, and closure obligations create long-term liabilities that begin with the survey commissioned today.
The operators moving early treat nature evidence as a way to de-risk permits, protect asset value and satisfy financiers before ecological pressure becomes a project-stopping problem.
lower environmental cost than multi-season survey campaigns
permitting time brought forward with a defensible baseline
In asset value safeguarding
The applications where nature evidence changes the outcome in mining & extractives.
Portfolio risk screening
Front load risk discovery by screening operating mines, development projects and legacy sites for protected species, habitat sensitivity and water-catchment stress before issues reach the critical path.
Permitting &
lender-ready baselines
Generate IFC PS6-aligned, audit-ready baselines that satisfy regulators and lenders and cut months from permit timelines.
Meet growing demand for traceable minerals
Buyers like Apple and HSBC-backed funds are paying premiums for sustainably sourced minerals.
Closure & bond release
Track recovery against closure criteria with comparable metrics, to release rehabilitation bonds and free posted capital. Optimise closure plans to reduce long-term monitoring requirements and other associated costs.
Safer monitoring in
remote sites
Replace hazardous field surveys with water and soil sampling, reducing safety risk in remote and sensitive locations.
Tailings & water stewardship
Auditable early-warning signals on tailings-adjacent and downstream water systems, a high-risk area where msot surveys lack traceability.
A 0-1 nature risk score per site to screen operating, development and legacy assets and priotitise where survey effort matters most.
Species-level detection from water and soil, replacing hazardous field surveys and catching cryptic species traditional methods miss.
Comparable, standardised metrics from site to landscape, to benchmark across a global asset base and track recovery.
The portfolio dashboard and system of record that centralises nature data across thousands of sites.
