THE MINING INVESTMENT AND GOVERNANCE REVIEW: METHODOLOGY, APRIL 20161
1. INTRODUCTION
The Mining Investment and Governance Review (MInGov) is a response to a demand from a range of stakeholders for a tool that facilitates an understanding of governance, competitiveness, investment and growth issues related to the mining sector. MInGov helps participating countries identify areas to strengthen governance of the sector, attract mining investment, and improve the use of resource revenues for sustainable national development. It also provides succinct, relevant information to investors and civil society in order to inform their decisions on investment, governance, potential growth and other aspects of the mining sector.
The MInGov methodology was developed by Adam Smith International (ASI) and the Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI) in close cooperation with the World Bank and experts in relevant fields. It is unique in its comprehensive coverage of both investment and governance issues and in the way it combines the use of primary and secondary data with information gathered through in-country interviews.
Five important points about the MInGov methodology are:
• MInGov measures de jure vs. de facto performance, that is, the extent to which performance in mining governance, investment attraction and the allocation of government mining revenues for broader development measures up to a country’s stated priorities;
• MInGov is designed to be actionable by governments and it is explicitly neither a ranking nor index. The methodology has been designed keeping in mind that developing countries do not want another index based on perceptions - they want actionable measures to improve governance;
• The focus on sector investment and bottlenecks is a core value-adding element of MInGov. It focuses on actionable improvements to the investment and development environment around extractives rather than being an isolated review of mining sector governance;
• MInGov is based on the collection of data via expert review of verifiable objective data, supplemented by secondary sourced data and interview data from in-country participants. Interviews are used to validate and understand de facto realities and it is not based on surveys or polls; and
• MInGov separates and reflects both absolute levels and subjective priorities of governance. Recognizing that what is important in one country is not important in all countries, the MInGov methodology and visualizations allow users to view absolute levels of governance for a particular country and overlay them with country-specific and stakeholder-specific perceptions of what aspects are more important and deserve focus.
The rich dataset collected through MInGov also allows the possibility to explore new ways of structuring the information beyond those presented in this methodology.

THE MINING INVESTMENT AND GOVERNANCE REVIEW: METHODOLOGY, APRIL 20162
2. OVERVIEW
To ensure that MInGov provides a comprehensive picture of the mining sector in individual countries, a total of seven themes are explored for each country. Three of these themes (A to C) are assessed across five stages of the Extractive Industries value chain – Contracts, Licenses and Exploration; Operations; Taxation and State Participation; Revenue Distribution and Management; and Local Impact.
A. Policy, Legislation and Regulation. This theme measures the scope and quality (compared to good practice) of mining sector rules.
B. Accountability and Inclusiveness. This theme measures the quality of accountability and transparency practices, the extent to which the public are involved in governance, and the gap between intended (de jure) and actual (de facto) accountability and inclusiveness.
C. Institutional Capacity and Effectiveness. This theme measures the quality of government organizations and their ability to effectively govern, including particularly the extent to which the de jure intent of the rules is applied in practice (de facto).
The remaining four themes include three cross-cutting ones (D to F) and one that assesses the importance of mining (M) in the country of interest. These themes are:
D. Economic Environment. This cross-cutting theme reviews broader economic factors, including cost competiveness, economic stability, the general investment climate, and skills and human capital.
E. Political Environment. This cross-cutting theme measures political risks relevant to the mining sector.
F. Sustainable Development. This cross-cutting theme covers development planning, local supplier development, economic diversification and leveraging infrastructure.
M. Mining Sector Importance. This theme measures the potential for mining led growth.
Each theme is comprised of a number of topics. For the first three themes, the topics are aligned with the stages of the Extractive Industries value chain, but no such mapping exists for the other four themes. The dashboard used in country reports (an example is at Figure 1) provides an overview of the 36 topics (or aspects of performance) that are explored – 15 of which (in the upper part of the colored matrix) are mining-sector specific, 15 relate to cross-cutting themes (shown in the lower part of the matrix), and six capture the importance of the mining sector (shown in the vertical “range” or “min-max” chart on the right-hand side of the dashboard).

THE MINING INVESTMENT AND GOVERNANCE REVIEW: METHODOLOGY, APRIL 20164
Each topic is composed of one or more of 64 indicators. The actual review is performed through a combination of desk research and in-country interviews with sector experts (see Figure 2). Desk research uses both primary and secondary data. Primary desktop data consist mostly of domestic laws, regulations and similar documentation that are being reviewed to determine the de jure governance and investment environment of the mining sector. Secondary data from reputable sources are used mainly in the review of the cross-cutting themes and the mining sector importance theme. In-country interviews with sector experts are primarily used to assess the de facto performance of the mining sector.
The raw data derived from the three information sources is processed, scored and aggregated to provide a comprehensive review of the mining sector in an individual country—with the matrix in Figure 1 providing an overview of the review at the topic level.
FIGURE 2: STRUCTURE OF MInGov
3. QUESTIONNAIRE
All data used for MInGov in an individual country are collected based on a questionnaire that consists of a total of 314 questions. The 314 questions include 132 based on primary desktop sources, 61 on secondary sources and 121 on in-country interviews. In addition, there are 29 descriptive (non-scored) questions. Each question draws on one of the three information sources noted above: primary desktop data, secondary data and in-country interviews. To the extent possible, each question is designed to be fact-based and independently verifiable, actionable by governments, and comparable across countries. Initially the data collected through the MInGov questionnaire for a particular country is made available as an annex in the country report but it will eventually be made available online.
The questionnaire is structured around the topics listed in the dashboard in Figure 1 – with separate sections for each indicator. The table at Appendix 1 lists all 64 indicators in the order in which they appear in the questionnaire, and also how many questions (broken down by information source) are used to develop each indicator. The 15 topics related to the mining value chain have an average of almost three indicators each (the range is two to six indicators per topic).

The 21 topics under the cross-cutting themes and mining sector importance have one indicator each; in these cases, topic and indicator have the same name. The questionnaire is also used to capture from primary sources descriptive information (identified as theme X) which is not used to develop indicators but rather provides contextual information for the review teams.
The questions are numbered consecutively and the section numbering in the questionnaire uses the format Tn.m where:
• ‘T’ identifies the theme (A-F, M, and X),
• ‘n’ identifies the value chain stage (1-5 for themes A-C) or topic number (1-7 for themes D-F and M), and
• ‘m’ identifies the indicator number (1-6).
PRIMARY DATA
4. DATA SOURCES AND PROCESSING
The dataset for an individual country consists of a total of 314 data points corresponding to primary desktop, secondary and in-country interview questions in the questionnaire. Data is coded as numerical values according to a scoring mechanism. Figure 3 below provides an overview of the way in which raw data is processed which is explained in greater detail below for the three data sources.
Primary data are used to assess the deviation of current policy from international standards of good practice. Primary data consist of answers to 132 questions collected via desk research. These questions look at the existence and the quality of the different policies, regulations and administrative procedures as stated in writing (“de jure”) across the topics within the framework. In each country under review, experts on mining governance and investment review the relevant and available evidence on the particular topics to provide answers to these questions. Researchers are also required to provide supporting evidence to verify their answer as prescribed in guidance to the questionnaire.

THE MINING INVESTMENT AND GOVERNANCE REVIEW: METHODOLOGY, APRIL 20166
Based on the information collected, a review is made about how the country’s practice compares to international “good practice”. The Natural Resource Charter provides the main guidance on areas where there is a broad consensus on what constitutes good governance and good policy practice in resource management; further guidance on key topics is drawn from a variety of sources listed in Appendix 2. If a country’s practice is considered to fully reflect good practice, it receives a score of “4” and if there are significant deviations from international good practice the score would be “1”.
The majority of questions look at the existence of particular regulation or requirement for a certain procedure in the mining sector. In these cases, “4” is awarded where this is in place and follows good practice, “2.5” if this is partially in place and “1” if this is not in place (see Figure 3). The questionnaire provides guidance on good practice for each question, which can be further refined based on learnings from a country review. In some cases (for example, when assessing the quality of geological information available) allocating scores is difficult until data from multiple countries is collected and so can be used to clearly define thresholds of good and poor practices. In these cases, the questionnaire provides some guidance for preliminary scoring, but a final score can only be awarded when cross-country data collection is sufficiently advanced.
Example for processing primary data:
Question: To what extent are limits to the discretionary powers of the authority in charge of awarding mining licenses laid out in the law?
Answer: Partial. Yes, there are clear limits to discretion, but these are set out in policies and not in laws.
Good practice: There are limits to the discretionary powers of the authority in charge of awarding mining licenses. The decision to award a license is based on recommendations from an independent advisory board. If the license is denied, the reason is communicated to the applicant.
Evidence provided: Excerpts from relevant legislation and policy.
Score for above answer: 2.5. Good practice partially in place.
The following approach is used to address issues of missing data for questions based on primary data:
• If the question is not relevant in a particular country (for example, if there is no state owned enterprise), the response is labelled “not applicable” and omitted from the country review;
• If the question is relevant but no answer or evidence is found, the response is labelled “information not available,” and is subject to further review as to whether the question and guidance should be altered, dropped, or receive a low score for lack of information; and
• If the question is relevant, but the evidence and answers are non-conclusive, the response is labelled “non-conclusive”, and is subject to further review to determine whether the question should be altered, dropped, or receive a low score for a lack of clear information. Careful consideration is required to determine how many questions can be dropped without weakening a particular indicator. It may be the case that indicators will have to be dropped as a result of insufficient answers to underlying questions.
THE MINING INVESTMENT AND GOVERNANCE REVIEW: METHODOLOGY, APRIL 20167
SECONDARY DATASecondary data is used to assess the mining, economic and political environment for each individual country as compared to peers. Secondary data sources are reputable institutions, including surveys and official statistics. Sources of secondary data used in MInGov are in Appendix 3.
With respect to secondary data a country is assessed in relation to comparator countries, defined as countries in which mining has the potential to be a key contributor to sustainable development. The list of comparator countries (see Appendix 4) was compiled based on the following criteria:
• Mineral production value per capita at least $US50/year;
• The top 10 countries in terms of exploration-to-production ratio in the mining sector; and
• At least 0.5 Million inhabitants (as data on smaller countries is often limited).
Additional adjustments have been made to ensure representation across different regions.
Based on available secondary data, a country receives a score of “4” if it falls within the top quartile (top 25%) of all comparator countries, a score of “3” if it falls within the second highest quartile, a score of “2” if it falls within the second lowest quartile and a score of “1” if it falls within the bottom quartile (Figure 3).
Example for processing secondary data:
Question: Five-year average total debt service to GNI – source is World Bank.
Answer: 5.7 percent of GNI which falls into the second lowest quartile of all comparator countries.
Score for above answer: 2 (low – 25%-50%).
The following approach is used to address issues of missing data for questions based on secondary data:
• If the data is not available or is dated, comparable data is collected where possible;
• We collect new data on questions covered by the Public Investment Management Assessments (PIM) and the Resource Governance Index (RGI) unless new data becomes available prior to MInGov data collection, as those questions cover an important part of the framework, and the data is dated and limited in country coverage; and
• For other sources we use the latest year where data is available (provided it is not more than three years prior to the concerned country review).
If recent data is not available and non-replicable, the affected questions are omitted from a country review; it is possible that some indicators are dropped (left blank) from a country review as a result of insufficient secondary data.
THE MINING INVESTMENT AND GOVERNANCE REVIEW: METHODOLOGY, APRIL 20168
IN-COUNTRY INTERVIEWS
In-country interviews are used to assess the deviation of current practice from de jure practice, specifically the extent to which de facto practice measures up against the country’s own goals. A score of “4” for an interview question indicates that a country fully meets its own goals while a “1” indicates significant shortfalls (Figure 3).
Questions used in in-country interviews are answered by subject-area experts in government, industry, civil society, and some others as follows:
• Government: Key involved agencies, including the Ministries of Mines, Finance, Local Government and Revenue;
• Industry: Mainly companies involved in exploration or mining, and geological and other mining services. Where they exist, interviews are also held with the management of the Chamber of Mines and associations representing artisanal and small scale miners. Usually, the interview is with an individual closely associated with operational and policy matters, such as the company country manager, the person dealing with local employment and content, or the individual responsible for company/government relations;
• CSOs (Community Service Organizations): representatives of national CSOs and local branches of international CSOs involved with the mining/extractives sector; and
• Others: A range of other parties with a direct and informed role in the mining investment and governance are also interviewed. Participants vary by country but they commonly include the Secretariat of the Extractive Industry Transparency, Members of Parliament, employer and labor associations, donors, human rights commission, and independent experts in areas such as legal, mining and public finance.
The raw data from the in-country interviews consists of answers by multiple respondents and for some questions, respondents from different stakeholder groups.
Because MInGov is not a representative survey of stakeholder perceptions, but rather aims to gather verifiable information from informed stakeholders on the difference between the policy and practice of mining governance, the processing of the information gathered in in-country interviews requires careful judgement. Assessors seek out evidence to justify the scoring of individual responses. Scores for individual responses are then aggregated to arrive at the question score that is recorded and used in MInGov analysis.
Example for processing in-country interview data:
Question: In practice, to what extent are limits to discretionary powers in the award of mining licenses followed?
Response required from: Government, Industry.
Answer: A respondent provided examples and evidence of limits not followed, which were not refuted by other respondents or government.
Good practice: Grounds for and extent of discretion are spelled out in legislation, and are applied save in defined, exceptional circumstances.
Evidence provided: An example of a case handled by a legal firm or an extract from a government or expert report could be used as supporting evidence.
Score for above answer: 1.0. Not meeting its own goal.
THE MINING INVESTMENT AND GOVERNANCE REVIEW: METHODOLOGY, APRIL 20169
5. AGGREGATION AND SCORING
Each question irrespective of the type of question receives a score between 1-4, based on the answer provided. The scores to multiple questions are then aggregated into the indicator they comprise. Where there are multiple indicators for a topic, questions are aggregated to create topic scores. At each level, aggregation occurs through simple averages, with each question or indicator receiving equal weight. As a result, each indicator and topic is associated with a score between 1 and 4. The topic scores are then divided into four equal ranges: very high (>3.25-4.0), high (>2.50-3.25), low (>1.75-2.50) and very low (1.0-1.75).

1.0 - 1.75 Very low Low significance
N/A Not sufficient information or not applicable
Not sufficient information or not applicable
Topics within the Mining Sector Importance theme measure the stage of mining sector development and the significance of its potential economic impact. For example, for new producers these measures might show a high degree of prospectivity and increasing foreign direct investment, but low revenue, budget and development impact. For mature producers, they could show declining prospectivity but high economic and employment impact. These scores should not be interpreted as measures of good or bad practices, but rather as different measures of significance of the sector compared to peers.
Questions to which the answer is missing or non-applicable in a given country are excluded from further aggregation and do not impact on scores.
The scores of the topics in the matrix are color coded to reflect their scores within the 1 - 4 range (Figure 4 above). Average topic scores under “Mining Sector Importance” are shown on a range or “Min-Max” scale (Figure 1).
6. STAKEHOLDER PRIORITIES
A final piece of information that is gathered during in-country interviews is a structured view of stakeholder priorities based on the 30 topics in the matrix (that is, excluding the Mining Sector Importance topics as they are descriptive features of the mining context).
This is done by asking interviewed stakeholders of the four stakeholder groups to indicate their priorities among these topics, which are listed alphabetically (see Appendix 5). Respondents are asked to identify their top five priorities—with the top priority receiving 5 votes and the lowest 1 vote—and topic votes are aggregated across respondents and for each group of stakeholders. Because the number of topics is large compared to the number of priority topics picked by each respondent, the resulting distribution of votes will be skewed to the right with a mean of (15 * Number of respondents)/30. This mean, together with the standard deviation of the distribution of votes, is then used to categorize topics as follows: high priority topics (those receiving a total number of votes that is more than one standard deviation above the average number of votes per topic), above average priority topics (those receiving a number of total votes that is above but not more than one standard deviation above the average number of votes per topic), low priority topics (those receiving a number of votes that is below or equal to the average number of votes per topic), and zero priority
THE MINING INVESTMENT AND GOVERNANCE REVIEW: METHODOLOGY, APRIL 201610
topics (those receiving zero votes). These intervals are summarized in the table below.Beyond presenting results for each of the stakeholder groups separately, we also aggregate priorities from all respondents using an equal weight assigned to each stakeholder group.
Stakeholder priority data is not linked to questionnaire-based data (in, for example, the matrix). It is used to analyze variations in priorities among stakeholder groups. On stakeholder prioritisation visualization, Appendix 6 explains how the data are presented in a country report.
Stakeholder Priority Category
Zero priority (no votes cast) Low priority Above average

Range of votes cast for the topic 0 0 < votes ≤ μ μ < votes ≤ (μ + σ) (μ + σ) < votes
Note:’σ’ represents one standard deviation while ‘μ’ denotes the sample mean of the distribution of total votes cast across topics.
7. VISUALIZATION
The basic tool for the visualization of MInGov results analysis is the country dashboard (Figure 1). Additional visualizations are necessary to display results and highlight priority areas. A detailed discussion of the way visualizations are treated is included in Appendix 6.

THE MINING INVESTMENT AND GOVERNANCE REVIEW: METHODOLOGY, APRIL 201619
APPENDIX 4: COMPARATOR COUNTRIES
Comparator countries are those where mining has the potential to be a key contributor to sustainable development. They were selected based on the following criteria:
• Mineral production value per capita at least $US50/year;
• The top 10 countries in terms of exploration-to-production ratio in the mining sector; and
• At least 0.5 Million inhabitants (as data on smaller countries is often limited).
Additional adjustments were made to ensure representation across different regions.
In the below list of comparator countries, the * symbol denotes countries where there may be differences in mining legislation across provinces/states.
• Afghanistan• Algeria• Argentina*• Armenia• Australia*• Bolivia• Botswana• Brazil• Bulgaria• Burkina Faso• Canada*• Chile• China*• Colombia• Congo, Dem.

APPENDIX 6: VISUALIZATION
A number of standard visualizations have been developed to portray data analysis from MInGov. The main ones that are used in country review reports are described below. Over time, these may be adjusted for greater effectiveness.

2. Operations
3. Taxation and State Participation
4. Revenue Distribution and Management
5. Local Impact
1.00 1.75 2.50 3.25 4.00
REPORT VISUALIZATIONThe basic tool for the visualization of MInGov results analysis is the dashboard (Appendix 6, Figure 1). Each cell of the matrix represents a topic that is composed of one or more indicators and a number of questions. Matrix cells are color coded based on the aggregated topic score. In addition to the matrix, the dashboard includes the theme Mining Sector Importance visualized by a range or min-max table on the right-hand side.
With a min-max chart, the reader can see a theme or value chain perspective. The chart shows the average score of the respective indicator level (diamonds). The range of indicator scores (minimum and maximum) is depicted by the bars.
An example of country-level results at theme level is in Appendix 6, Figure 1. Results for the five value chain stages are in Appendix 6, Figure 2. A min-max visualization can also provide details of topics or indicators in one view; Appendix 6, Figure 3 shows results for the 36 topics covered in MInGov. A similar chart is available at the indicator level. Such range charts may be prepared for any set of questions, indicators or topics in which there is particular interest (such as the handling of artisanal and small scale mining issues, or State-Owned Enterprise performance and governance).

THE MINING INVESTMENT AND GOVERNANCE REVIEW: METHODOLOGY, APRIL 201623
A key visualization in a country report is one that presents a value chain stage or theme showing performance by the composite topics and indicators (see Appendix 6, Figure 4 for an example). The visualization includes the score for each variable included as well as the color coding of their performance as used in the matrix and elsewhere in a country report.
As described in sections 4 and 5, stakeholders interviewed in-country are asked at the end of the interview to list what they regard as the most important topics for a strong mining investment and governance environment. The purpose of this is to get information on what stakeholders as a whole and for individual stakeholder groups (from government, industry, CSOs and “others”) regard as priorities so as to better understand areas of possible common interest – and where there may be little overlap in priorities.
Reported priorities are weighted by the degree to which they are indicated (see Appendix 6, Figure 5). To visualize this weighting, the matrix structure is mapped so that cell dimensions reflect the weight assigned based on the perceived importance of the underlying indicator (weightings have been squared to accentuate visual differences between weightings): larger cells represent topics of perceived greater importance. Cell color coding is maintained as in the matrix.

The score for the value chain stage is the average of the three topics within that stage (which are shown in this figure). The score against the topic is the average of the scores of the underlying indicator scores; the indicator scores are the average of the scores of their underlying questions. The color coding is the same as in the matrix. Intervals for scoring performance are as follows: Very low (1.0-1.75); Low (>1.75-2.50); High (>2.50-3.25); and Very High (>3.25-4.0), where a higher score corresponds to better governance and capacity.

THE MINING INVESTMENT AND GOVERNANCE REVIEW: METHODOLOGY, APRIL 201625
WEBSITE VISUALIZATION
The MInGov website will include additional visualizations to those in country review reports (as well as those in country reports). For example, there will be a range of visualizations on the website that will compare performance between one or more countries against selected indicators, topics, themes or value chain stage. Two options for comparing theoretical such scores of two countries are below (Appendix 6, Figures 6 and 7).

APPENDIX 6, FIGURE 7: COMPARING COUNTRIES AT A THEME LEVEL AND VALUE CHAIN STAGE (BAR CHART)
Similar radar and bar chart visualizations can also be applied, for example, to compare “de jure” and “de facto” results. Bar charts can also be applied to a larger number of indicators, e.g., comparing multiple indicators between two or more countries. The radar chart is more intuitive to compare smaller numbers of indicators.
While comparisons of relative performance in selected areas are possible between countries, MInGov is neither a ranking nor index. This is a core property of the methodology and a key differentiator from other reviews, surveys and reports. However, comparing data from country analyses will facilitate the identification of countries that are similar in terms of mining sector importance, governance by value chain stage and cross-cutting theme, stakeholder priorities, and so on, and so could help stakeholders develop options to strengthen sector governance, investment and impact.
Once MInGov data collection for a particular country is repeated, time comparisons are possible. Appendix 6, Figure 8 offers an idea of how performance of indicators (or questions, themes, value chain stages or topics) could be compared over time through the use of “spark lines.” Since a higher number of time series needs to be explored at the same time, a small multiples approach has been selected. If only few time stamps exist, they could also be shown in a table. For larger time series with more time stamps, the original data can be hidden.
