Shackleton Rim Resource Operations

Moon · Illustrative Shackleton-rim operational study area; not a property parcel · Simulated resource operations / contractual record

A fabricated lunar resource-operations file tracing the operator position from Aster Vale Exploration to Aster Vale Resources, survey and sample evidence, and seven simulated gross-regolith removals. The 250 t annual and 1,250 t lifetime limits are contractual illustrations, not legal authorizations. A 15 t historical annual excess remains unresolved.

Extracted, fictional lots

Seven fabricated bulk-regolith lots total 730 metric tonnes. Small laboratory aliquots are included within their source lots, never added again.

The historical 2025 annual contractual excess remains unresolved. Recording a lot does not approve its removal.

Samples and assay

Each sample is tied to a survey point. Composition is five parts summing to 100 weight %, with stated uncertainty.

Dry mineral composition · simulated weight %

Five normalized crystalline phase groups sum to 100%. Uncertainties below are percentage points (k=1), not independent mass-balance ranges. No bulk reserve or volatile estimate is implied.

Simulated 2024–2026 gross removal, metric tonnes per calendar year. Annual contractual cap: 250 t. The dark bar highlights the over-cap year.

What-if check

Adds a hypothetical quantity to the full 2026-10-19 baseline: all lifetime events plus the events in your selected calendar year. This is not a historical replay. Nothing is saved or added to the ledger; the unresolved 2025 discrepancy remains open even when a new scenario is within the numerical caps.

Conflict indicators

High

2025 annual contractual cap exceeded by 15 t

Reason NSB-TKT-003 (120 t) + NSB-TKT-004 (145 t) = 265 t versus 250 t. NSB-MEM-2025-015 remains open. Neither assignment nor amendment increased caps.

Uncertainty All quantities are simulated nominal masses; ±2% expanded uncertainty is not deducted. No actual legal breach is alleged.

Moderate

Remedial disposition missing

Reason NSB-AGR-2024-001 provision 7 calls for a written follow-up; no disposition is in the fabricated file as of 2026-10-19.

Uncertainty A fabricated evidence gap, not proof of invalidity, non-compliance with actual law or absence of external documents.
