Territorial risk intelligenceThe Azura Engine™ reads a tenement in Brazil, Guyana or Suriname across 13 territorial risk layers and tells you what NI 43-101, JORC, S-K 1300, PERC, GGMC or GMD will expect disclosed — and what to do about it — before a Qualified Person has to find out the hard way.
Real screens from the Azura Engine™ desktop application. File names and client details have been removed.
Choose the data country — Brazil, Guyana or Suriname — the analysis language and the report context. The same reading is written differently for a mining company, an investor or a technical lead.
Load your tenement or Area of Interest and run it. The engine reads all 13 layers on the machine itself — no internet, no AI — and returns the Territorial Readiness Score.
Each topic is drawn on the map with its classification, the affected area and its share of the polygon. Switch layers on and off to see exactly where a constraint sits — and where it doesn't.
Choose the audience the report is written for, run a whole portfolio of polygons in one batch, and export the maps as PNG or GeoTIFF for your data room or GIS team.

Each layer lands in one of six states. Tap a state to see what it means for your exposure.
Who actually holds title beneath the asset — and whether that title can turn into litigation later.
Whether permitting and protected-area buffers are already in order — or will cost time and money before operating.
Whether the target has real geological consistency — or rests on fragmented data that won't support the investment thesis.
Presence of the structural features that actually favour mineral concentration on the tenement.
Whether the terrain is safe to operate on — slope and landslide risk that raise construction cost and can halt operations.
How much indirect evidence already exists to support the target, reducing uncertainty before a field campaign.
Satellite-visible indicators that strengthen — or weaken — mineralisation probability before spending on ground work.
Whether the water access needed to operate is secured — or will depend on a slow-moving permit.
Traditional and Indigenous communities in the vicinity — the reputational and relationship risk that can stall a social licence to operate.
How much it will cost to move ore out — proximity to roads, power and existing logistics.
Protected sites and assets nearby that could trigger an embargo or require an additional study before proceeding.
Indigenous territory, restrictive protected areas or military exclusion — the kind of risk that, alone, can sink the project.
Whether overlap or dispute with neighbouring tenements could generate litigation or legal uncertainty over the area.

From finding to fix →Thirteen risk layers become a single number, 0 to 100 — enough to justify an investment, pause a project, or negotiate an acquisition on better terms.
The score isn't an average. An Impeditive risk sinks the result on its own — the same way a legal due diligence doesn't "offset" a serious problem with several positive points. And whatever doesn't apply to the area is excluded from the count, so absence of risk is never confused with absence of information.
The report documents the weight of each risk layer in the final result — so when a QP, Competent Person or investor asks "why this number," the answer is already written, documented and defensible.
See these bands in practice, region by region ↓Aggregated Territorial Readiness Score across every tenement Azura™ has read in each region — color-coded to the same bands above, so you can see at a glance where the constraint pressure sits before you order a single diagnostic.
* Illustrative regional averages. Each individual tenement reading is specific to the asset and can sit well above or below its region's average.
Every report comes from the same reading. AZURA results feed IMAGEO's reporting pipeline, where findings are assembled into a standard report model and reviewed by a Licensed Geologist before delivery. What changes is depth, audience and the decision it is built to support.

A Canadian QP, an Australian Competent Person and a US SEC filer looking at the same Guyana tenement will each flag different things as material. The Azura Engine™ is built around that friction, not around one generic checklist.
NI 43-101, JORC, the AIM Note, S-K 1300 and PERC all trace back to the same CRIRSCO resource/reserve template — where they diverge is in how much territorial and tenure risk has to be documented, and by whom, before a number can be published.
| Standard | Exchange(s) | Governing Body | Reporting Document | Sign-off Authority | Territorial / Tenure Disclosure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NI 43-101 | TSX / TSXV | CSA (Canadian Securities Administrators) | Technical Report | Qualified Person (QP) | Land tenure status, surface rights, environmental liabilities, permits in good standing |
| JORC Code | ASX | JORC Committee (AusIMM / AIG / MCA) | Public Report | Competent Person (CP) | Legal tenure, native title status, environmental approvals |
| AIM Note (Mining, O&G) | AIM (London Stock Exchange) | London Stock Exchange | Competent Person's Report (CPR) | Competent Person | Tenure status, key permits, environmental and social risk summary |
| S-K 1300 | NYSE / NASDAQ | U.S. SEC | Technical Report Summary (TRS) | Qualified Person | Surface / mineral rights, permitting status, environmental compliance |
| PERC | Pan-European exchanges | PERC Reporting Standards Committee | Public Report | Competent Person | Tenure, permitting and environmental status, aligned to the CRIRSCO template |
Every one of these disclosure requirements maps to one or more of the Azura Engine™'s 13 territorial risk layers — so a single reading is already structured for whichever standard your investors read.

Add-on for satellite and drone imagery. From multispectral and hyperspectral reflectance it extracts diagnostic band ratios and classifications for mineral exploration, tied to the paragenesis of the mineralising control. From SAR and LiDAR it captures precise local geometric factors. Outputs are high-capacity products, optimised to feed straight into the geological study.
Add-on that processes geophysical data — magnetics, gamma-ray spectrometry (K, eTh, eU), IP/resistivity and gravity — and geochemical data from soil, stream sediment, rock chip and drill core (fire assay, ICP-MS/OES, XRF, pXRF). It integrates with drill-hole planning, orebody modelling and volume and tonnage estimation.
Add-on that works as a field guide on desktop or a rugged PDA: RTK point capture, photos, point plotting and local-scale lithostratigraphic and structural data. It displays raster guides for navigation — hypsometry, slope, hillshade, drainage and contours — and plots an ultra-detailed local geological map with structural solution and structural/lithostratigraphic cross-sections.
