Wingman's Checklist

If you are serious about taking your due diligence game to the next level, you have to stop relying on a mental checklist. Be prepared when communicating with management and avoid overlooking crucial aspects when assessing a company.

Drawing inspiration from Doug Casey's 9 P's, we've devised and examined 9 C's that should be evaluated before investing in mining & exploration companies:

• Characters
• Capital Structure
• Claims (Property)
• Cash
• Communication
• Communities
• Catalysts
• Challenges
• Commodity

Feel free to rank specific metrics higher according to your preferences. Tailor as necessary.

The Wingman Assessment Value (WAM) is scored out of 10, with 10 representing the highest score. However, don’t feel discouraged if your favourite company doesn’t rank as high as you had hoped. The stage of development plays a significant role; the less developed the company, the more challenging it is to achieve a higher score!
