PASO public static export

Mineral and resource integrity module

Monitor resource capture, opaque extraction chains, smuggling, off-take lock-ins, strategic concessions and community-protection failures without exposing protected evidence.

What red means

Red does not mean final legal guilt. Red means the public assurance layer is not satisfied: contracts, ownership, remedy, audit, local benefit or right of reply remain insufficient.

Risk indicators

  • MIN-01 · Opaque beneficial ownership: Ownership, parent-company control or politically exposed links are unclear.
  • MIN-02 · Resource-for-security imbalance: Resource or infrastructure access may be exchanged for security/political support without public accountability.
  • MIN-03 · Offtake lock-in: Commodity flows are locked before local processing/value retention.
  • MIN-04 · Community remedy gap: Affected communities lack complaint, compensation, health, water, land or labor remedies.
