How it works — Mineral Due Diligence | Bychem
From application to final report
Each stage has a defined prerequisite. Contractual and financial approvals cannot be skipped, and you can follow every stage in your client portal.
Register and apply
Create a client account and describe the proposed transaction, mineral, country and supplier.
Screening
We review the request and complete identity, KYC/KYB and conflict checks. We may decline or ask for more information.
Preliminary fee
If accepted, we invoice the preliminary engagement fee. Payment is confirmed only after verification.
Operations Agreement
You review and sign an agreement setting out scope, exclusions, fees, confidentiality and limitations.
Working plan
We prepare an assignment-specific plan with checks, schedule and estimated third-party costs for your approval.
Verification
Document review, supplier checks and, where approved, field visits, sampling and laboratory coordination.
Review and report
Findings are risk-classified, quality-reviewed by a second person and issued as a written report.
Follow-up
You download your report and documents from the portal and can discuss next steps with your case manager.
