About

How the library is built.

A multi-agent AI research pipeline scours public sources, parses maps and disclosures, and writes structured records into the library. A reviewer signs off before publication. The library refreshes monthly.

The pipeline

Five specialised research agents work in parallel: an OSINT explorer (multilingual web search — EN, AR, RU, ZH, FR), a cartographic visionary (image and map understanding), a geospatial extractor (named-entity recognition + coordinate parsing), a sanctions screener (OFAC / EU / UK lists), and a database architect (deduplication, confidence-rating, change-log).

Confidence ratings

  • High — at least one primary source (operator NI 43-101, USGS Minerals Yearbook, government press release) corroborated by a second.
  • Medium — single reputable source, or multiple secondary sources without primary confirmation.
  • Low — derived or partially inferred; coordinates approximated from descriptions; or single low-quality source. Use with caution.

Sanctions handling

Every operator, owner and material counterparty is screened against the US OFAC, EU and UK consolidated lists. Sanctioned entities are kept in the library — they are part of Sudan's mining reality — but are flagged prominently. The library is research-and-decision-support only. We do not endorse sanctioned entities.

Refresh cadence

The library is refreshed monthly on the 1st (UTC 08:00). New disclosures, deals, sanctions and changes are added; existing records are re-verified and their date-verified field updated. The change-log lives at the Activity Check tab.
