Junior Mining Starter Checklist
The 12-point checklist applied to every company before it touches the watchlist. Covers management skin-in-the-game, project geology, capital structure health, catalyst proximity, and comparable acquisition valuation — in plain language. Built from the same Verdict Framework used in our published scorecards.
What's Actually in the Checklist
The Junior Mining Starter Checklist is a two-page PDF built to be used at the desk — next to a company's latest financials, technical report, and management information circular. It walks through the twelve questions we ask before a junior goes on the watchlist, with the specific filings, page numbers, and public data sources that answer each one. It is not a marketing ebook. It is the same pre-screen that gates every scorecard published on this site.
What You'll Learn
- How to read a SEDI insider-trading summary and distinguish genuine buying from option exercises and automatic-plan dispositions

- How to calculate fully-diluted share count and warrant overhang from public filings without trusting the company's own investor deck
- The catalyst calendar approach — how we timetable news events against working-capital runway
- A worked P/NAV comparison using three recent acquisitions in the same commodity and jurisdiction
