TARGET RANKING

Targets compete for capital on the strength of their champions, not consistent criteria. Geology, geophysics, access, permitting and strategic value are weighed differently in every meeting, so prioritisation is slow and hard to defend.

Actors

  • VP Exploration
  • Chief Geologist
  • CFO

Systems / Vendors

  • acQuire
  • ArcGIS
  • Domo

Business Question

"Of the thirty targets on the board, which seven deserve a rig this season, and can we show why?"

What SPoG Does

  • Ranks targets by combining geology, assays, geophysics, geochemistry, access, permitting and strategic value.
  • Applies consistent criteria so every target competes on the same basis.
  • Gives drill decisions a defensible, reviewable rationale.
