Index vintages & basis

Fraser IAI 2025 (Annual Survey of Mining Companies, released 26 Feb 2026; 68 jurisdictions, 14 in Africa; survey conducted Aug–Nov 2025). All 14 Africa-covered jurisdictions are now PDF-Sourced from Table 1 (back-check 2026-06-24); ∗-marked scores had 5–9 responses (lower confidence). The other 26 Afrimintel jurisdictions are Fraser-Absent: not scored by Fraser in 2025 — most appear on the survey's published dropped-jurisdiction list (<5 responses), the remainder fall outside Fraser's survey coverage. Absent, not Pending) + TI CPI 2025 (Feb 2026 release, full Africa coverage) + NRGI RGI 2021 (latest available; NRGI has not republished since) + EITI implementation status 2026 (binary membership input)

Attribution requires either the country stated in the asset record name, or an externally Sourced enrichment record carrying a named primary source plus independent corroboration (no inference — text-inference attribution was built, tested, and withdrawn pre-deploy after verification caught false positives; see the audit log). 47 distinct platform assets remain Absent pending continuation of the record-enrichment pass (duplicate-flagged records excluded from this count as of v2.22.0).
