Are you seeking a joint‑venture partner for mining or prospecting?
Many owners of gold‑bearing lands and holders of mineral licencesreach out to us, inviting us to inspect their sites. In most cases these properties are still untouched – there is no open shaft, no active excavation, and little to no on‑site development.
Because of this situation we typically prefer to invest in prospecting activities rather than to commence full‑scale mining operations on a property that is essentially dormant.
Below you will find a concise explanation of the difference between the prospecting/exploration stage and the actual mining stage, together with a description of the specific way we structure joint ventures with land owners and licence holders who possess potential gold deposits.
1. Tangible Gold‑Bearing Ores vs. Lands Requiring Prospecting Services
Your mining property falls into one of two categories:
| Category | Description | Typical Joint‑Venture Objective |
|---|---|---|
| Tangible gold‑bearing ores | The site already hosts confirmed, economically viable gold mineralisation (e.g., visible veins, assayed high‑grade material, existing resource estimates). | Exploit the ore body through mining, processing, and product sales. |
| Prospecting‑required lands | The property shows geological promise but lacks verified ore; it may need systematic sampling, drilling, and resource definition before any mining can commence. | Conduct detailed prospecting and exploration to delineate a viable ore body, after which a mining‑focused joint venture can be considered. |
2. Our Preferred Joint‑Venture Model
We are most interested in forming joint ventures that target the exploitation of tangible gold‑bearing ores. In such arrangements we:
- Co‑invest in the development of existing resources (e.g., shaft sinking, plant construction, ore extraction).
- Share the capital and operational risks associated with mining activities.
- Allocate revenues according to the agreed‑upon equity stakes, typically reflecting each party’s contribution of capital, expertise, or land rights.
For properties that fall into the second category—those that require gold prospecting services—our role is to provide comprehensive exploration support, including:
- Geological mapping and structural analysis.
- Systematic sampling, trenching, and bulk‑hand sampling.
- Detailed geophysical surveys and drilling programmes to define resource boundaries.
- Resource modelling and economic evaluation to determine whether a future mining joint venture is feasible.
3. Why We Favor Prospecting Over Immediate Mining
- Risk mitigation: Early‑stage projects often involve substantial uncertainty regarding ore grade, continuity, and economic viability. By focusing on prospecting first, we can gather the data needed to make informed investment decisions.
- Cost efficiency: Prospecting activities are generally less capital‑intensive than full‑scale mining operations. This allows us to allocate resources across multiple prospects and increase the probability of discovering a high‑quality ore body.
- Strategic alignment: Our expertise lies in the systematic evaluation of mineralised terrains. Partnering on prospecting enables us to leverage this skill set while still offering land owners a pathway to eventual development.
4. Summary
- If your land already contains confirmed gold‑bearing ores, we can create a joint venture aimed at extracting and commercialising those resources.
- If your land is prospective but not yet proven, we can supply a full suite of prospecting and exploration services to delineate a viable ore body, after which a mining‑focused joint venture may be pursued.
In all cases, the partnership is built on transparent terms, shared risk, and a clear roadmap that aligns the interests of the landowner, the mineral licence holder, and our investment team.
Feel free to contact us with details of your property; we will evaluate whether it falls under the “tangible gold‑bearing ores” category or requires additional prospecting, and we will outline the most appropriate joint‑venture structure for your situation.
Tangible gold bearing ores
Tangible gold‑bearing ore refers to the physical material we actually handle. We do not engage with ores that are intangible—such as those merely mentioned in reports or speculative rumors. Our focus is on genuine, tangible gold‑bearing ores.
Tangible gold‑bearing ores, such as waste piles from excavations, contain sufficient gold concentrations to make processing economically viable; they can be crushed, ground, andtreated to recover the gold.
Tangible gold‑bearing ores are also alluvial or placer deposits in which profitable operations can be sustained for months, and where the ore can be accessed within minutes of arriving at the mining site.
These ores are commonly found in open pits, vertical shafts,horizontal shafts, or drifts, and can be reached, hand‑collected, and immediately verified using the most practical gold‑recovery methods available in the field.
We are interested in forming joint ventures to exploit the tangible gold‑bearing ores, thereby enhancing resource utilization.
If you possess tangible gold‑bearing ores on your mining lands, they are accessible and can be immediately exploited once thenecessary mining equipment is transported to the site, enabling prompt gold recovery. We are interested in establishing joint ventures with such mining lands.
Prospecting services for mining lands without tangible gold bearing ores
When ores are inaccessible, their exact location is unknown, and they cannot be sampled or verified within minutes or hours of arriving at a mining site, it indicates that the land does not contain tangible gold‑bearing ore. In such cases, the next step should be gold prospecting or exploration.
Gold prospecting services can be obtained from the company Start Your Own Gold Mine in any of the East African countries—Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, or Tanzania—and can be provided anywhere in the world.
We can discuss the various stages of gold prospecting and explorationthat may be undertaken on a potential mining site.
An agreement is then signed between the mineral‑license holder or the owner of the gold‑bearing land and our company, Start Your Own Gold Mine.
Gold prospecting equipment is either manufactured locally or, when already imported, is transported to the mining site. Accommodation and business resources are also arranged to support prospecting activities.
A team of trained and skilled gold prospectors then arrives at the mining site.
We are then conducting the Preliminary Site Assessment and Inspection and gold prospecting.
Matrix Gold Prospecting is program and manner of organized and reporting methods of identifying the ore deposits by most practical and least expensive means.
The first stage is surface and shaft prospecting, that may give valuable reports of locations and depths of alluvial or eluvial gold findings, and anticipatory lode-gold, and may identify accesses to the ore-bodies.
The future profits and expenses are estimated based on such information. Once the ores have been found, and profitability determined, it is recommended to start the gold production with the available or readily available and inexpensive equipment.
Once the first stage has been accomplished, the land may become valuable so that the investment companies, or our company, may be interested to conduct further prospecting and probably immediately engage into the gold production.
In the first stage, the prospecting efforts are conducted with limited capital and operational expenses of the equipment and methods in use have to be as cheapest as possible.
The first stage of the Matrix Gold Prospecting program is modernization and improvement of simplest and most practical and also inexpensive gold prospecting methods.
The purpose of Matrix Gold Prospecting in the first stage is to determine the location of satisfactorily quality ores (Q) in sufficient quantities (V) that suits the type and capacity of the planned and current equipment (E) so that profitable gold production may start immediately.
The equipment used in the first stage has capacity to process several tonnes of ores per day efficiently, and simplest sampling methods may give exact reports with locations and depths of gold findings.
1) The Preliminary Site Assessment and Inspection have to be finished on the mining site, with the exact solutions and availability of water source for mining purposes, and business and living resources enough that the first stage may begin. During the Preliminary Site Assessment and Inspection, gold occurrences or access to ore-bodies have to be confirmed.
2) The mining license and ownership, legality and any related legal problems have to be completely solved, prior to the commencement of the first stage. There must exist a Primary Mining License or Prospecting License. Any previous partners or agreements have to be reviewed and no prospecting may start without full legal coordination.
3) There must be available solution for business and living resources, estimated up to 30 days work, or longer, including all the basic necessary gold prospecting equipment as described in the section
Three types of prospective ores are tested in the first stage, placer deposits for alluvial gold and lode deposits, including ore-shoots, where possible, for lode-gold.
Discovery of placer gold is leading to the lode gold. As placer gold travels from its source it becomes flattened or rounded. Angular or jagged gold usually has not traveled far.
Surface of up to 5 meters, is examined thoroughly for floats of lode gold, for alluvial gold, and eluvial, so that pointers to lode gold may be found. Placer gold findings are our pointers to prospective lode gold.
Test shafts are to be made down to the bedrock, so that prospective lode gold may be found.
Existing mining shafts and shear zones may be better examined and sampled.
The third type are tailings heaps.
There are three major stages of Matrix Gold Prospecting that our company Start Your Own Gold Mine may conduct on such potential gold mining sites.

Possible outcomes from gold prospecting services
Possible outcome of gold prospecting services are following:
depending of the stage of Matrix Gold Prospecting conducted on your mining land, you will know to a certain degree, what possible gold grade is available for future mining.
you as mineral license holder will probably have several open mining shafts and you may find gold bearing veines of minerals.
exact gold prospecting reports are collected and full mapping is provided which helps in estimates of any future investments
our company may become interested at that point for joint venture in case that tangible gold bearing ores have been found
our clients may become interested for joint venture with mineral license holders, as at that point exists full gold prospecting report.
more serious gold exploration steps could be engaged depending of the size of land
