Why this is canonical

'Mineral provenance' is the precise phrase used in responsible sourcing frameworks, due diligence regulations, and ESG reporting contexts to describe authenticated mine-of-origin evidence. The word 'provenance' carries stronger verification connotations than 'lineage' — it implies a trusted, authenticated record, not merely a history.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

Responsible sourcing certification
Anchoring the provenance credential platform for minerals entering regulated supply chains — from conflict minerals to critical battery materials.
Responsible sourcing platforms, certification bodies, smelters
Supply chain due diligence
Naming the provenance documentation infrastructure required under OECD, EU CSRD, and US conflict minerals regulations.
Electronics manufacturers, mining companies, ESG compliance platforms
