Methodology

Mining IQ Risk Analytics assesses risk using 13 ‘Hard Risk’ metrics from established, risk-related indices and corresponding ‘Perceived Risk’ scores taken from the World Risk Survey, which asks mining professionals to rate jurisdictions they are familiar with.

The Hard and Perceived metrics assess risk over six weighted categories: Legal (35%), Governance (15%), Social (15%), Environmental (15%), Fiscal (12.5%), and Infrastructure (7.5%). Within each category, Hard Risk ratings make up 80% of the total score and Perceived Risk 20%.Legal Hard Risk scores are based on Regulatory Risk Ratings from our partner, legal consultancy MineHutte.

All categories feed into the Investment Risk Index (IRI), which scores jurisdictions out of 100 on overall risk, with a higher score meaning lower risk. IRI scores correspond to risk ratings from AAA – for those with negligible risk – to D for jurisdictions with exceptionally high risk.
