What compliance checks do mining companies need before licensing data to AI companies?

By SourceX Editorial · Updated

Short answer

Before licensing, mining companies should confirm they own the records, check privacy notices and customer contracts, and address government permits and reporting, joint-venture data rights and site security. Records that can't meet the rules are excluded.

Sector-specific checks#

Government permits and reporting, joint-venture data rights and site security.

General checks for every company#

Ownership of the records, privacy notices in force when they were created, customer and vendor contract limits, employee notices, and any recordings' consent.

Records that need extra care#

Within equipment maintenance histories, geological and survey records, safety incident reports and sensor data, free-text notes and attachments most often hide personal or confidential details.

How SourceX helps#

Every deal includes a rights review before preparation, and counsel reviews deal-specific questions. SourceX starts with a short fit check that shares no data. If it fits, rights are reviewed, a copy is prepared with personal and confidential details removed, and your company approves exactly what leaves before anything is delivered under a signed license.
