Funding Wanted Details
Listed on Dec 1, 2025

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Business is advancing a fully de-risked, Tier-3 junior gold project located in one of West Africa’s premier greenstone belts. The asset has been deliberately engineered for rapid cash-flow generation, operational excellence, and seamless scalability, with clear pathways from high-margin alluvial/eluvial production into future hard-rock development.

The operation utilizes a proven hybrid mining model combining mechanized excavation with 100% mercury-free gravity recovery technology, all embedded within a best-in-class ESG framework. Supported by fully secured mining licenses, extensive validated geological databases, and comprehensive engineering studies, the project is fully permitted and ready for immediate mobilization—enabling a rapid transition from site establishment to continuous, high-margin gold production.

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY

Capital sought: US$3.5 million
Initial mine life: 10+ years (readily extendable) with straightforward scaling and twinning potential. Use of proceeds: Full establishment of a production-ready, mechanized alluvial/eluvial gold mining and processing system. Base-case economics (conservative 10-year LOM, full US$3.5m capex included):

10-year NPV₁₂ = US$12 million (12% discount rate – standard for Tier-3 African mining companies). With gold currently trading above US$4200/oz (Dec 2025) and continuing to rise, the project delivers exceptional leverage to the ongoing bull market.

PROPOSED TERMS (Current Term Sheet – November/December 2025)
Standard Offer US$3.5 million for:

30% equity
3% NSR royalty (buy-back option at 1.8× after 24 consecutive months of commercial production)

Anti-dilution protection until next funding round
Standard drag-along / tag-along rights

Early-Bird Incentive (binding signature by 12 December 2025 + tranche schedule below)

Investor receives 40% equity and 5% NSR on the same US$3.5 million investment.
