Nugget: is a solid lump of a precious metal (especially gold) as found in the earth.
Ore: An ore is a natural aggregation of minerals from which metal or metallic compound can be recovered with profit on a large scale. When the per cent of metal is too low for profitable extraction, the rock ceases to be an ore. The rock has to be tested to determine this point. Reference: Samplings Series No. 2, page 2-3
Ore dump: An ore dump is a pile or pile or heap of ore. The ore making up a dump is usually selected roughly for each particular dump, that is, high grade ore is usually dumped in one pile, medium in another, and waste discarded. Reference: Samplings Series No. 2, page 2-3

Turnkey: is fully functional and ready to use. The gold recovery technology is fully functional and appropriate for three types of ores such as tailings, alluvial and eluvial gold recovery and lode gold in rocks. With several hundreds of mining licenses, recruitment pool, and the knowledge, the program offers turnkey solution for small scale mining startups.
Verbal Gold Prospecting: verbal gold prospecting is fastest method known to come to the gold in rural and non-developed areas of the world. Face to face interviews with inhabitants of villages, miners, their relatives and friends is so far fastest and inexpensive method to find the sources of ores with good gold grade.
Wealth: is the state of being rich and affluent or having a plentiful supply of material goods and money. Gold mining can be a very subjective business that sometimes can be thought of, as looking for a needle in a hay stack. Sometimes even the wealthiest mining companies experience failure when exploring and mining for gold. Both client and consultant enter this agreement with realistic expectations and the knowledge that gold mining cannot offer absolute guarantee of financial gains or the attainment of limitless wealth. However both parties being of sound reason accept all the inherent associated risks of gold mining.

We can conduct gold prospecting services on mining sites throughout the world. We will gladly search for gold in harder to reach areas, drill for alluvial gold in forest or jungle, or dive deep into the river or lakes to find gold nuggets concentrated on their bedrocks.
Gold panning, dredging, dry washing, sluicing, assaying are all well known subjects, and we will gladly provide services of gold prospecting.
We can use metal detectors to detect presence of gold nuggets of certain size on large surface areas.
Gold panning is most important gold prospecting method that just every prospector and miner need to know.
Drilling is major prospecting service the may discover alluvial, eluvial and lode gold existence. We currently provide drilling services for soft soil down to 60 meters deep.
Gold mineral exploration
Gold mineral exploration is more extensive service than gold prospecting.
It consists of more serious steps required to determine the existence of gold ores on a certain area of land.
It may require provision of borehole drilling, core drilling, trenching and larger excavations.
Gold mineral exploration has a purpose to determine the feasibility and methods of future mining.
We are engaging in gold exploration business under conditions that goals, purposes, plans and policies of a client are in harmony with our own gold mining business.
Gold bearing ore discovery
The purpose of gold exploration is discovery of mineral named gold in sufficient quantities so that mining operation in future may become profitable.
When we refer to discovery of gold, we do not just mean simple finding of gold particles or few nuggets.
We are searching for gold bearing ore or also known as auriferous ore.
The purpose of gold bearing ore discovery project is to find sufficient ore bodies in order to estimate the future gold mining production.
Sampling and assaying services
We will provide sampling services on mining site, proper storage, assaying and analysis of minerals.
Borehole drilling
We can provide any type of borehole drilling including:
Mobile core drilling and hard rock assaying on hard to access locations

Percussion Rotary Air Blast drilling
Diamond core drilling services
About gold mining risks
Gold mining can be a very subjective business that sometimes can be thought of, as looking for a needle in a hay stack. Sometimes even the wealthiest mining companies experience failure when exploring and mining for gold.
The company, Start Your Own Gold Mine, offers clients an introductory course and training into gold mining at a modest cost in time and money, yet it is thorough and an effort is made to adequately meet every conceivable challenge of small scale gold mining.
Still, the location of gold especially in high concentration is the result of variety of factors, including the client's work ethic, attitude, tenacity, and willingness to follow instruction and heed all consultation.
The adherence to all good social and legal norms has as much to do with the degree of success the client will have or not have as all that is made available to client through client's participation in the program Start Your Own Gold Mine.
Gold mining cannot offer absolute guarantee of financial gains or the attainment of limitless wealth. And each party being of sound reason shall accept and recognize all the inherent associated risks of gold mining.
Consultant as an expert, through its efforts and resources offers its best consultation, guidance, and mentoring to client, reasonable and attainable success, but can offer no absolute guarantees.
General Postulates
Client is assisted in creating, in building, in establishing his or her gold mining start up business with the understanding that Client in particular desires assistance in starting up a small scale gold mine operation.
The Consultant provides guidance, and that guidance needs to be followed in detail and spirit of complete adherence and cooperation, executed by Client.
However, the consultant neither provides Client the actual start up gold mine nor can take responsibility for the Client's gold mining company financial eventuality as a profitable growing business concern or failure.
The only assurance client can depend on is to produce or have produced for them 3 kilograms of gold, ideally considered pure gold, and net after expenses and taxes if any.
Client must understand and accept that in order to export their gold outside on the country they may be subject to export procedures or laws, and need to pay an export fee as well as possibly pay other related fees.
In such an instance client may look to consultant for assistance in such a matter. This is however also not an obligation since there is a requirement for client to perform as detailed in the agreement and consider the attainment of their 3 kilograms of gold, ideally calculated pure, as a goal to be worked for.
Consultant represents having proven expert knowledge and experience in small scale mining operation start up at it's training and assistance locations in East Africa and based on such experience offers client assistance, guidance, and consulting in achieving positive small scale mining start up results.
During Client's participation in consultant's start up gold mine assistance program if client is busy or unable for some reason to follow consultant's advise or call to action Consultant shall be undeniably authorized to execute actions on behalf of the Client.
If Client is not working on the program, as designed, outlined, and specified by Consultant then neither can consultant give Client the assurance of a positive outcome from participation in Consultant's gold mine start up assistance program and there will exist the possibility that Client will not realize a successful gold mine start up for which the Consultant bares no responsibility nor obligation to provide Client with continued services or benefits.
Consultant and or it's representatives are not providing a startup solely by themselves. They provide guidance, consulting, and mentorship for the startup of the small gold mining operation.
Meet the mentor to Start Your Own Gold Mine
Thank you for your interest in starting your own gold mine and investing in gold.
My name is Jean Louis and I am consultant in the program to Start Your Own Gold Mine.
My goal is to offer to our clients sustainable small scale gold mining business, by advising them, offering the guidance, consulting and our already established resources.
On the other hand, we are gaining on our side not only some kilograms of gold from the Client, but also new equipment and goodwill.
Since 2002. I have started, opened, registered, incorporated more than few hundreds of international businesses and helped worldwide entrepreneurs and businessmen to start their own varieties of businesses.
In few of the Eastern European, former socialist countries, as a pioneer in gold trade, I have caused a true gold rush in terms of purchasing old, scrap gold. Many shops and businesses have opened and followed my business incentives.
You are being offered a productive, your own gold mining business, under my personal supervision until you have produced first five kilograms of gold.
And when I say 5 kilograms, I mean net, after expenses and taxes. It should be understandable that your total amount of gold produced will be more than 5 kilograms.
Once you are able to produce 5 kilograms, you will be able to continue your business for as long as you wish.
And you will be sharing the gold with us in the ratio of 3 kilograms for you, and 2 kilograms for us. Even if the initial consulting fee is just US $22,000, the total fee is to include the additional 2 kilograms of gold.
That is why and how we may offer the business startup program with such a low cost investment.
Once the program is finished, you may continue running your own gold mine for as long as you wish. At that time point, you will be skilled, trained, and with the full understanding on how to run your own gold mining business.
You will also have the mineral rights to at least one of the licensed mining sites, worth at least US $200,000.
Our headquarter company Start Your Own Gold Mine is located in Tacoma, Washington, United States. Our bank account is with the Wells Fargo bank. That is where the fee of US $22,000 is going to be paid in, upon the contract sign up. Let us be clear on that.
For those that wish to avoid sharing of gold without our company, the full program fee of US $66,000 includes the equipment to handle both hard rocks and alluvial gold, the contracted mineral rights to at least one licensed mining site with plenty of gold that are to be proven before the digging and mineral processing is to begin.
The information and description is accurate and straightforward.
I can help you with your first gold mining activity. You are well guided. You will go straight to the gold production time, within only 45 days upon your company registration in the country. Your claim and mining land is free. It is going to be organized for you and it is worth at least US $100,000.
Much of previous research and resources are available for your project. You are getting more than expected. The offer is there and may soon run out.
P.S. This is adventure
This is adventure. You must be ready for risks, mosquitoes, weather of 30 degrees Celsius or 86 degrees Fahrenheit, you must be ready for rough roads, accidents, dirty bathrooms or lack of bathrooms and toilets and most of all the fun. *It may become your most pleasurable adventure you ever had. Or it may become your another nightmare.*
We have started in 2012. our first gold mining operation
Don't make mistakes in understanding of this explanation. My English may not be the best, and we may make errors in writing. You should make your questions and clarify any misunderstandings.
Our clients and myself, we have got all problems due to mistakes in understanding, and also in errors in my writing on this website.
I am putting effort that there are no misunderstandings, yet there may be such.
A start does not mean that there is immediate income. Once you start your own gold mine, you will have the gold mine, equipment, mineral rights and people working. It required mining and hard work, to obtain the results. There is no specified time to produce the first 5 kilograms of gold. The program is to take as long as it takes.
Once we have started our own first production, back in 2012, we have produced gold in Tanzania, yet we have not made any income at that time.
Income is the difference between the full expenses including taxes and the sales of gold obtained through gold mining.
Gold production alone does not constitute income.
It requires the knowledge of administration and taxes to understand what is an income.
When you Start Your Own Gold Mine, you need to work and put efforts to obtain the first kilograms of gold. We have done our best on our side, that it becomes possible, provided you are following the guidance and consulting advises.
For income to come into existence, effort is required. We are providing the guidance and consulting that you put focus on proper efforts, so that you may gain true results in the program to Start Your Own Gold Mine.
Our associated company GOLDIVANTI LP have started and registered the company in Tanzania in 2012 with intention to trade gold. Instead of commencing trade of gold, we were forced to realize that cheap gold is not available in the country. As our Exit Strategy we have started gold mining in Tanzania.
We have signed up the contract with our local partner for the usage of the Primary Mining License. And we have got initially 11 licenses. During the next days and weeks, we have partnered with other small scale miners in Geita, Tanzania. And started producing first gold.
I personally believe that the best investment in gold is having our own gold production. Personally, I would be very happy if I could have someone to lead me and direct the work just as I am offering it to you.
We had to invest a lot to get to the first grams of gold. And we did it.
Our investment has gained a lot of resources, and with those resources, we may offer this consulting program to our clients.
From 2012 to 2019
Since 2012. we have helped businessmen to open their companies and business in Tanzania.
Before our own mining startup, we required many months to research the best methods for the gold recovery. Negotiations and research of mining lands in 2012 did take its time, money and energy. Negotiating the joint venture deals is not easy in general.
You are not going to follow the long path to success through all the burdens of exploration, self-learning and duration. You are going to be kick-started into gold mining business within 45 days upon your company registration in Tanzania. Yes, 45 days only.
With the knowledge and experience I have acquired, you are here to learn about the turnkey gold mining solution, so that gold production may begin within 45 days upon your company registration in the country
Today we have business establishment and provision of the consulting program Start Your Own Gold Mine in Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania, and we may attend locations in Liberia or Ivory Coast in soon future.
Complete control and management of the gold mining company
My first dealings with gold started very early, and through all the years and care to do the business safely, I have later in 2010. started with business of recycling of old gold, gold scrap, and other precious metals such as platinum.
Anyone being in such business do not want to risk with the gold price. I have decided to open up my own gold mining in order to minimize risks with the gold price fluctuations. And I was right.
It is way easier to obtain gold from gold mining, than through the trade of gold.
In this business, you may have complete control and may monitor and manage the business yourself, or you may decide to choose or to delegate the management to us. It's your decision.
Most of all it is recommended that you have a complete insight into the business through our consulting and guidance service.
Profits may be substantial, yet the business depends mostly on the intention and persistence of its managers, both you and us.
We do have the necessary amount of intention and persistence. We are here to teach you, demonstrate you, lead and guide you through the first stages of gold production until you are able to properly copy, replicate and continue such gold mining business yourself.
You may later choose either to stop, as you will have acquired minimally three kilograms of gold in profits, or you may choose to manage such business yourself in the future, or eventually to delegate the management to our supervised management and earn profits on distance.
We have the necessary dose of intent and the necessary dose of persistence in achieving those goals.
The aim is a long-term and sustainable production of gold.
Earnings may be considerable, and in any case, you should be able to produce several kilograms of gold per month, even with a small investment in machinery, equipment, gold recovery technology, facilities, safety, and operational costs.
It is your own gold mining company
Your own gold mining company could be running within 45 days from its registration. There are conditions to be met for quick startup and clients need to fulfill their duties as without their presence or with the delay of the client, startup may be also delayed.
Under our consulting and guidance and management services your own gold mining company may be producing clean gold within 45 days from the day of its registration in the country of choice in East Africa.
The assumed and agreed condition for that to happen is that you, our client, must be on the ground and engaged in business.
This program is meant for beginning miners, gold prospectors or people wishing to invest into their own business or those who are already considering to begin with the gold mining business. You may be also interested in passive income while having managers to run the company in Tanzania.

Our current projects are being developed in the Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania.
We may develop projects in other countries, but that is what is on offer now under the project Start Your Own Gold Mine™ and for the fee of US $22,000.
If we are to provide the same type of the program in Ghana, or some other countries, the full fee is US $66,000 due to the factor of expenses.
Most affordable is to start in Tanzania, as our company has most of resources in Tanzania.
Company ownership may be structured in the manner as you advise or as you are advised for the optimum tax incentives.
You may hold and own your company entirely yourself. You may use another company, or your local company or an offshore company for confidential ownership of your own gold mining business. It is also possible to retain ownership and control through contracts which would not be visible in the public registry. It all depends how much privacy you seek.
Within the program to Start Your Own Gold Mine™, you will acquire, own and control your own gold mining company, either under your own, direct and public individual ownership or under company holding ownership. Advice and structure of the ownership of such gold mining company is included as part of our service of consulting and guidance.
Accounting will be handled by our staff and certified public accountants
Tax free income from your own gold mine
Depending of your tax residency or business structure, we may design that profits arising from your own gold mine, are paid almost tax free, after the taxes in local country in East Africa.
That is possible due to various constellations that might be possible with the production of gold.
Together with our legal advisers we devise exclusively legal plans.
In general, in many countries, purchase and sale of investment gold may be tax free. In some countries, profits arising outside of the country may be tax free and for some people receiving dividends from business companies may be tax free.
We are going to look into your business and tax situation, depending of your residency and laws, and we may design preferable agreements which you may use to receive the tax free funds and profits out of your own gold mine.
Instead of profits in money, it is also possible to receive gold bullion or gold bars out of the gold mining production.
A prepaid forward contract for purchase of gold or gold production agreements may be contracts which you may close with your own company.
Once investment gold bullion and gold bars have been delivered to you, you may store them as investment or alternatively, you may sell them and gain profits tax free.
It really depends of your own tax residency and business structure. We may help and assist you with proper setup, and we have contacts to attorneys and accountants that may advise you further on taxes and legal matters.
Kick-starting the gold mining business
Due to all the previously established and ready resources as provided from our side, such as available licensed mining sites, mining licenses, skilled people or labor, efficient gold recovery technology, and privileged benefits to use the mining machinery, you are kick-starting the mining business.
You are kick-starting the gold mining business, without much preparation on your side.
You are saving considerable amounts of money, as you will avoid all the research, exploration, preparation, talks, and numerous failures that we have already gone through.
Management and control of gold mining company
There are two ways of management and control of your own gold mining business provided under consulting, guidance and management services of our company:
Gold mining project that you are going to continue managing without our assistance
Gold mining project under delegated management rights.
You are going to learn how to manage your own gold mining business
Under our supervision, consulting, guidance and management, you are going to spend one to three months, even more, until you have successfully produced first quantity of gold. In fact, we are making sure that you succeed. It is our responsibility that you become able to begin your own gold production.
That is learning process where you are following steps, reading through the documentation, understanding legal and practical aspects of the gold mining business, and train yourself in handling people and management of the project. You are being assisted throughout the beginning stage, and you may either sit down and watch what we are doing or involve yourself in the business. That is entirely up to you. We advise you to actively involve yourself.
After successful first one to three months of your learning process, you will become able to control, manage and run your own gold mine.
Running your own gold mine under our supervision and management
After you have successfully produced the first quantity of gold in your own gold mine, you will be convinced that your gold mine or gold recovery business is giving results.
Our award will be paid after you have already got profits, in fact, we are going to receive the next small quantity of gold for our company, as award for the consulting, guidance, management and initial production of gold.
That is going to be one time payment in gold or equivalent amount of money, as agreed upon final contract.
You are paying the consulting fee once you have obtained first results: gold.
After that, you may decide to run your own business yourself or you may delegate the management to us. If we monitor and control, or manage your business and your own gold mine, you would be in Joint Venture with our company, or partnership, and you would be receiving certain agreed and larger percentage of gold production, while we would be retaining smaller percentage of the profits for management of your own business.
Previously available resources
We have been investing since 2002. into variety of businesses, including business as gold scrap dealer, gold trade and investment in diamonds.
Through the time, we have acquired new companies, opened up new branches in the world, and gained valuable connections, know-how and experience.
Resources that we have created are in place and ready to be used, free of charge, for your own gold mining project.
To open a gold mine in a short time is very difficult.
It takes many months of preparation and then a lot of travel, interviews, analysis, employment of people of various qualifications, exploring and finding adequate land claims with gold deposits, building houses for employees, providing security, training staff, finding good locations, concluding contracts and closing Joint Ventures with license holders.
With our previously established resources, connections, Know-How, mining equipment, your wish to Start Your Own Gold Mine may come true.
Available resources
There are following available resources that you may be using, depending of the agreements, and those may be used to lessen your financial burdens, and to minimize the risks in business:
previously inspected mining sites, with licenses or without, where client may spare the time in assessing the feasibility, the business and living resources, and confirming the existence of gold and gold bearing ores, these mining sites may contain already resources for our clients, such as crushing machines, many deep mining shafts with ore bodies open for exploitation, water sources, people available for recruitment right away, timber, houses for offices and accommodation, pipes, pumps, winches, metal containers, recirculating water pools, and many other resources that may be ready for mining operations,
few hundreds of mining license holders that are willing to enter negotiations with our company or our clients,
equipment that has been carefully chosen to recover 98% of the gold particles, provided that full technological methods have been used as advised by our company, more general description of equipment for gold recovery may be found on the page about SYOGM™ Gold Recovery Plant,
a pool of more than 1,300 people for recruitment, their profiles, pictures, information, resumes, previous conversation, interviews and performance records when available,
machinery for rock crushing and grinding, that may be borrowed to clients as a privileged benefit, worth over $50,000, and where same type of machinery may be purchased by clients when necessary and when required,
contacts to attorneys, accountants, officers, ministry, including maps of important locations, with exact way-points to find the mining sites, people, houses, hospitals, shops, technicians, water sources, all this nicely prepared for a choice of mining sites, so that future clients may spare the time, money, energy and efforts,
Those are the resources. Resources that we already have, you may use during your startup stage to open up your own gold mining business. The resources that we have established are precisely the reason why we can offer you such consulting and guidance to open up your own gold mine.
Benefits by using our resources
By using our readily available resources you are gaining following benefits:
You are saving on expenses of the equipment, as we are using low-cost, patented and improved gold recovery methods, that has been designed to otherwise recover the smallest gold particles that some company are leaching by using cyanide;
You are kick-starting the gold mining business, without much preparation on your side;
You are saving considerable amounts of money, as you will avoid all the research, exploration, preparation, talks, and numerous failures that we have already gone through;
You are saving on expenses of the equipment, as we are using low-cost, patented and improved gold recovery methods, that has been designed to otherwise recover the smallest gold particles that some company are leaching by using cyanide;
You gain immediate orientation, accommodation, you gain access to labor, stuff, legal and administrative services, accountants and assistants, you are kick-starting your own gold mine.
It would be very expensive to start the adventure on your own and it would take with best efforts at least six months or longer, when you come to Africa to start from the beginning in this business. You would spend a minimum of US $50,000 during the exploration stage, probably way more, and not to mention that you would have to solve the problems about people who give you intentionally false information or problems about the corruption that is widely present. Any corruption and crime is reported from our side and we never enter into suspicious transactions. But someone else, as some of our colleagues from Italy, would easily be lured into corruption cases and in the end could be expelled from the country or even end up in jail. Just by simple and innocent mistake, such as it is buying a single diamond, when you don't have a proper license for it.
Our resources already exist: established businesses, lodging, office, staff, interpreters, pumps, beds, houses, land and location, contracts with licensees, machinery, generators, solar energy, pipes, boilers, water tanks and so on.
Such resources may be used in this venture.
Otherwise, if you do not make use of the existing resources, the cost would be much higher in the first stage, and you would spend months and months more just to establish your own location. We want to avoid it.

I believe that is why it is an unique opportunity.
Initial expenses and minimal investment required
Having place of life in East Africa, local small scale miners do not need much to invest in order to start gold mining activities, as it is required for a foreign investor.
The small scale miner who lives at the mining site, where he has a mud made house and his family, and two or three children, he uses a pick and shovel, as tools both attached to the same shaft as his only venture or investment. Even for that tool he can get a loan and pay it later to a local blacksmith. Tools are produced out there on the land, right away, a real blacksmith produces tools and hammers the iron on the wheel of the truck, and metal is being heated by using a hand run air pump. For a local small scale miner investment amount may be as low as zero or 3,500 Tanzanian Schilling or around US $2.5 for a necessary tool.
It is possible to produce gold for someone living there, almost without any investment but self determined work.
Yet the above example refers to local miners, and not local businessman. It would be impossible to even think of obtaining a license without serious investment capital amount.
We are foreigners in East Africa and we spend few thousands dollars just to prepare and arrive to the country. We have totally different schedule of expenses than local Tanzanians.
Expenses and minimal investment amounts for foreigners are higher than for local Tanzanian citizens.
Some initial expenses
Unfortunately, for us foreigners, it is not possible to have it easy like local East African citizens, Tanzanians, Kenyans, or Ugandans, we ought to always pay a business visa at the entrance, it has been U.S. $250 or about €200 for each person. Then we are required to do business through a company, incorporation and startup costs approximately another few thousands of dollars.
We are bound by the law to evidence an office or commercial space, and also we want to have the accommodation for people. There are houses for rent at few thousand dollars per year payable in advance. So right away we have to pay for 12 months ahead with the necessary home and office, you would then be able to go to the tax office and get the tax identification number (TIN). There are several thousands of dollars or dollars in expenses just before we can get a simple tax number.
Diesel or gasoline is cheaper in Tanzania in comparison to some other countries, approximately 50% cheaper than in Europe, the price being almost the same for both types of fuel. But every time we require the use of off-road vehicles, because the asphalt there is present only on main roads and off-road vehicles consume more than ordinary passenger cars. That means for every "exit and return from the field" it can be calculated about US $100 to $200 in expenses.
There are other expenses such as:
safety on the site with gold deposits, costs at least few hundreds of dollars, although such fencing is very cheap in comparison to western countries;
accommodation and building of houses for the workers, kitchen on
a field, let's say it costs US $800, so it really is not much when compared to western barracks or prefabricated houses, but this is again an additional cost;
- then the various costs of containers, water tanks, pumps, solar
batteries, the cost of operation to extract gold;
Levels of investment required
The level of investment in a gold mine we may divide into two initial groups:
a minimum investment for initial expenses is about US $22,000, which is used to start a business and company, obtain staff, solve tax problems, acquire the office for one year, get a fully working gold recovery production plant, small machinery, necessary pumps, and safety measures;
in addition to that amount one would need few more thousands in order to cover the operating expenses of labor, diesel or gasoline, and other energy, food, transport and work expenses;
In general, we recommend at last US $30,000 for the gold mining business with the foundation of team of workers, miners, diggers, instead of an excavator.
The true minimal investment amounts for a serious operation are way above US $100,000.
In order to start without large equipment, you do need minimally some US $20,000 to US $30,000. We can provide for some operating expenses even if the initial investment amount is low. In fact a successful gold mine should be sustainable by its production. We are making sure that production happens, and one may expand the investment once there is gold produced.
| Minimal investment levels | Time frame to start | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Minimal investment | Within 45 days | US $22,000 |
| Reserves recommended | US $10,000 | |
| Standard investment | Within 45 days | US $66,000 |
Serious gold mining startups cost way more than the above shown minimums. And such minimums are yet considered small scale mining.
When excavators are involved, one may think of minimum of at least US $50,000 for initial startup expenses. Such excavator would be second hand and would be transported from United States or Europe, it would take a month to arrive to Tanzania, and overall time for excavator from the time of its purchase to the time of its production start, could amount to 2 months and longer.
If we speak of small scale mining for a foreigner, one would in reality need way more investment and machines in order to run a productive gold mine with excavators, compressors, generators, trucks and off-road vehicles, and multiple SYOGM™ Gold Recovery Plants.
Investing with larger machines would provide more efficient processing of gold ore, and such equipment consists of following:
- Excavator for digging;
- Hydraulic hammer for the excavator, speeding up digging of the rocks;
- Special grips for excavator;
- Compressors for pneumatic hammers which are also used for air supply in mine shafts;
- Trucks to transfer material are perhaps the most profitable;
- Crushers are required to convert gold ores into pulverized material;
- Off-road vehicles;
A sustainable gold mining business may quickly, within few months, turn into a public company with shares being sold on international markets, also attracting new investors.
We are going to provide the team to make a professional and functional gold mine.
Consulting and Guidance For Your Own Gold Mine
Our consulting fees are paid partially in advance and larger part upon the established gold production.
There are 2 different programs.
The full program is with US $66,000 where client has no further obligations, and where we are providing the client with a gold mining land and full production line for about 5 tonnes per hour capacity. Such program gives opportunity to faster achieve the goals.
The secondary method is with US $22,000 where client receives one part of equipment from our side, and other part is being borrowed to the client, worth about US $50,000 so that first 5 kilograms may be achieved. Client is expected to gradually invest. On the end of this program client is sharing with our company 2 kilograms of gold and has gained his first 3 kilograms.
Consulting and guidance in the first stage is complete once you have produced first five kilograms of gold.
Our consulting fee, depends of the initial amount and values of the operation that we provide to you. With the minimal investment of US $22,000 plus operating expenses, our consulting fee is 2 kilograms of gold while in the same time you are getting 3 kilograms.
In fact, you are not paying it directly, the gold mining plant is going to produce our consulting fee. And you will know that your production is running. Only then is such a consulting fee paid. It is one-time fee. You may continue working after the finalization of the startup program.
You may then continue to manage the business yourself. If you choose that we manage the business for you, we would retain one part for management and you would be paid one part of net profits out of your own gold mine.
Your Own Sustainable Long Term Gold Mining Business
The final product that you are going to get with this program is your own sustainable long term gold mining business.
The startup itself is such that it can help the miner or our client to engage in business with some first daily production of 5-10 grams of gold.
That level of production is thereafter expanded with more equipment and the application of EQV formula as devised by Mr. Jean Louis. With the improved equipment capacity, with raised level of processed ores, more gold production may be achieved.
So it is possible to produce several kilograms of gold per month.
Thereafter by using privileged benefits and already available resources established for the client, client is working to achieve the first 5 kilograms of gold. The daily routine may give from 20-30 grams to 100 grams of gold in that stage.
Once client have completed the program and training, the consulting contract is finished, and client may continue repeating the successful actions.
It is the process of getting trained, process of education, organization and management that is creating the sustainable gold mining production.
Estimated Gold Production
The formula devised by Mr. Jean Louis and used very much in the program Start Your Own Gold Mine is the EQV Formula representing the correlation between the factors: Equipment, Quality and Volume.
The Equipment factor relates to the actual and potential capacity of the equipment. How much tonnes of ores may the equipment handle? What equipment is there and available to handle the volumes of ores?
It does not say anything of the actual volume of ores being processed. It relates just to the potential capacity and increase of such equipment.
The Quality factor relates to the quality of gold, its shape, sizes, behavior during the process, it relates to gold purity and any quality of gold bearing ores. All those details matter when devising a system to recover gold. They also influence the expenses.
The Volume factor is the expected and actual volume that has to be processed or have been processed. The Volume relates to quantity of excavations and quantity of processed ores.
One such example of the calculation is presented here:
Monday 2018-07-30 (GMT+1) 09:09:42 - Gold Price: US $1224.9

What is tangible gold bearing ores?
Many gold mining lands owners and mineral license holders inquire with our company and invite us to inspect the mining site. Usually such mining sites are not developed. So often mining sites do not have even one open shaft or any activity engaged. That creates situation and invitation that we shall rather invest into prospecting activities instead of actual mining activities. In this articles you may understand the difference between the prospecting and exploration stage and actual mining stage. It explains you what is tangible gold bearing ores and what kind of joint ventures we are looking for. - Rudimentary ball mill startup
This is classic Tanzanian rudimentary ball mill. It contains balls, it is run on diesel engine, it runs in dry mode. We will certainly convert it to wet and water mode, to demonstrate faster grinding. Its length is 81 cm, and outer diameter 94 cm. Wall thickness is 4 mm. Estimated fuel expense per hour is 1 liter. It has concrete foundation, yet sometimes just timber. Volume of a cylinder with radius of 0.47 m and height of 0.81 m is 0.56 ㎥. The capacity is 200 kilograms per hour or little bit more… - Ball mills used in program Start Your Own Gold Mine
We love ball mills. We love balls and rods used in ball mills and rod mills. We love crushing and grinding of gold bearing rocks. In this category we are teaching our clients and website visitors on some facts, tips and tricks on usage, maintenance and practical operations of ball mills. Learn how to get those rocks crushed and grinded! - View on few resources, the line from rudimentary ball mill to the pools
Date: 2019-05-01, North Mara, Tanzania. Dejan Vidojković is explaining the line from the elevated ball mills and jaw crushers to the pools downthere as they may be used to collect water, or recirculate the water. We must devise new several production lines on this mining site, that is why we are communicating and sending videos and pictures to each other as Mr. Jean Louis was located on distance in Europe, supervising the operations. - Verification of water source on mining site in Tanzania
Water sources in mining are major resource. On majority of artisanal mining sites in Tanzania water is rather obstacle than a resource. This situation here is quite different, the mining site needs a lot of water for processing. Verification of the water supply have taken place this day. Several water sources available on this mining site. - Water pump and water source enabled on mining site in North Mara
The submersible water pump have been put in action and its flow verified. This is good flow to handle and process several tonnes of tailings per hour. It may handle easily good fresh ores. We will still consider lessening the expenses by using solar power, or battery run bilge pumps. - Jaw crusher test in Tanzania
This is small jaw crusher and we are testing the function, not the capacity. We brought it back to life. It needs grease and kind care. Jaw crusher is our best friend. - Prospecting Check Reports in Kenya
For each gold prospecting action we are keeping Prospecting Check Reports, as this way we know where the sample was obtained, how much of it was verified, how sample was obtained, from which shaft, from which location, which geographical position was it and what gold particles have been found. - Coin in the gold pan along gold particles
Coin is placed in the pan to show the sizes and help in understanding the findings when pictures are sent for the analysis. - Mr. Peter Mwita prospecting for gold on tailing heaps in Kenya
This is our director Mr. Peter Mwita, prospecting for gold in Kenya on tailing heaps, that later developed into mineral processing of 50,000 tonnes. - Fine gold recovery system preparation
Fine gold recovery system may be improvized with simplest tools. - Bilge pump and protection in the water
This is how bilge pump have been mounted so that it is protected from other soil particles. - Simple super concentration setup
This simple super concentration setup is using recirculated water and bilge pump to recover fine gold particles. - Gold panning training
The gold panning training is part of program for each of our staff members in Rwanda, Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda. - Mr. M'hengele Nkwabi gold panning
Gold panning practice and preparation for the real work on the mining site is process that every staff member is undergoing. - Black sand sorted in buckets by their size
Mesh is the number of openings per linear inch of a screen or measures size of particles, and that is how we are sorting the black sand. - Separation of particles by their sizes
Particles are sorted and separated in various buckets by their sizes. - The bucket with 50-100 mesh particles
This bucket contains particles from 50 to 100 mesh in size. - Black sand in the bucket
This is black sand, more over this is magnetite that we are using in the technology of fine gold recovery. - Magnetite particles collected in the bucket
This is bucket with magnetite particles of particular size as collected in the bucket. - Black sand sorting with buckets
The black sand or better said magnetite is sorted in buckets. A transparent tape sticks on the side of buckets, it may not be visible on pictures. Over the transparent tape the mesh sizes are written so that various magnetite particles may be separated. Similar process can be used for quick and field particle size analysis. - Set of sieves on the bucket
This is stack of sieves on the bucket for basic particle separation and black sand preparation. - Sieves and buckets for gold prospecting
Sieves of various mesh sizes and buckets are used in gold prospecting and final gold recovery. - Set of sieves for basic gold prospecting
Sets of sieves are so much valuable tool for basic gold prospecting. Quick particle size analysis can be made with this set of sieves, and more over, they are used in quick final gold recovery. - Collecting black sand from rain drainage
Rain is bringing iron particles down the streams and natural drainage streams. Those places are researched and magnetite is collected to recover gold. - Collection of black sand from natural drainage
The black sand is collected on numerous, various places, directly from rain drainage. - Mr. M'hengele Nkwabi calling people during black sand collection
As you may see there are buckets around, as this is the action of collection of black sand, magnetite and some hematite. Such is used in recovery of gold particles. Normally miners are removing or separating black sand and it is funny that we even need it in larger quantities, as we are using magnetite in the technology we are applying to recover gold. - Collection of black sand in Geita, Tanzania
Magnetite, hematite and other heavy minerals are well known as black sand, they are disturbance to many gold prospectors and hinders final gold panning. Some companies are using magnetic separators to remove such black sand. Quite opposite on our side.

This video shows good tempo of 17 shovels per minute, each shovel being minimum 4 kilograms, probably 6 kilograms. This rhythm of shoveling provides 4 tonnes to 6 tonnes per hour. Two persons shoveling together can easily load 4 tonnes of soil into the sluice. Even if not, then 2 people could easily load 2 tonnes of soil per hour. To load 10 tonnes of soil per hour one would then employ 4 to 10 people. This makes it possible to handle 10 tonnes per hour and 100 tonnes per day. - Mr. Okedi prospecting for gold on the open pit near Amonikakinei, Tiira, Busia, Uganda
