How TheNugget Works
Structured, verified, and legally protected from first contact to closing
Verify & Qualify
Every party completes KYC, AML screening, and (for producers) mine concession verification against government registries. No unverified party ever sees deal data.
Match & Connect
Producers upload SCOs and investment readiness assessments. Buyers and lenders submit their mandates. The platform surfaces compatible counterparties. No cold outreach.
Structure & Close
NCNDA-IMFPA agreements are generated for every deal chain participant. Commissions locked, identities verified, documents signed, before any sensitive information changes hands.
De-risked by Design
In a market where unverified claims and undisclosed intermediaries are the norm, TheNugget makes compliance a structural advantage, not an afterthought.
Verified Identity
Biometric liveness, document forensics, and AML screening on every counterparty (individual and entity) before any deal proceeds.
Claim Verification
Mining concession numbers cross-referenced against SGM, DGM, and national registries. Self-reported data is never taken at face value.
De-risked Deals
NCNDA-IMFPA agreements lock in every broker's identity and commission before disclosure. ICC-standard legal protection for all chain participants.
FATF Compliance
Jurisdiction screening against FATF grey and black lists. Precious metals deals in high-risk jurisdictions are automatically gated before contact.
Sanctioned Party Screening
Every party screened against global sanctions, PEP, and adverse media databases. Type 4 escalation fires automatically on any match.
Investment Readiness
Miners scored across 7 financeability dimensions. Lenders see stage, document completeness, and gap indicators before committing time.
