Prepaid Gold Forward Sales Contract – Secured Asset-Backed Structure
The Prepaid Gold Forward Sales Contract is a secured agreement between our company and the gold buyer or investor: you prepay today at a fixed discounted price, and we deliver physical gold in the future. Unlike unsecured promises, your prepayment is immediately invested into identifiable, registered equipment (mining machinery, processing plants, vehicles, or bullion in escrow) that is legally pledged to you as collateral. Those assets are independently appraised at ≥150% of your prepayment, perfected with the relevant registry (e.g., movable assets registry), and insured with you as loss payee. If gold is not delivered by the fixed calendar deadline, you seize and sell the equipment to recover your full investment. This structure makes the contract valid, enforceable, and asset‑backed – not speculative.
Key Principle: Your Payment Creates Your Security
Your prepayment is not a gift or a high‑risk loan. It is used immediately to acquire or improve identifiable equipment that is legally pledged to you. That equipment can be sold to recover your investment if gold is not delivered.
Our investment is applied in Uganda, where we maintain access to mineral rights and mining licenses through established Ugandan partner companies who are willing to engage in secured prepaid gold forward contracts under the asset-backed framework described above.
Prepaid Gold Forward Sales Contract with Start Your Own Gold Mine
Our company, Start Your Own Gold Mine, may produce gold, sell it locally or to a refinery, and exchange it for LBMA-recognized gold bullion, bars, or coins for delivery to the final buyer. To secure your prepayment, we commit to investing a substantial portion of it into identifiable, registered equipment—such as excavators, crushers, wash plants, vehicles, or bullion in escrow—which are legally pledged to you as collateral. This equipment is independently appraised at ≥150% of your prepayment, perfected with the relevant movable assets registry, and insured with you named as loss payee. Thus, the mining and production of gold are financed by the gold buyer, while your investment remains backed by tangible equipment guarantees. The delivered investment gold is exchangeable on the global market and may be easily sold to gold dealers or banks.
Sales of gold bars and gold bullions or gold coins within European Union are tax free. Thus tax free profit may be achieved in cooperation with our company.
How It Works – Step by Step
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1. Mutual Due Diligence | Buyer and Seller exchange legal, financial, and operational records. Seller provides proof of mineral rights, asset ownership, and audited production capacity. |
| 2. Secured Forward Contract Signed | The contract includes: gold quantity, fixed price, delivery date, equipment collateral description, default remedies, and dispute resolution (arbitration). |
| 3. Equipment Purchased & Pledged | Seller uses your prepayment to purchase specific, new or verifiable used equipment. Title is registered in Seller’s name, and a first-priority security interest is granted to Buyer and registered with the movable assets registry. |
| 4. Buyer Makes Prepayment | Payment is sent to an independent escrow account. Funds are released to Seller only after equipment is purchased, appraised, perfected, and insured with Buyer as loss payee. |
| 5. Production & Delivery | Seller uses the pledged equipment to produce gold and delivers physical bars (LBMA‑recognised refinery) to Buyer’s designated vault or location. Delivery deadline is a fixed calendar date (not “expected”). |
| 6. Collateral Release | As gold is delivered, a proportional share of the equipment collateral is released back to Seller. Full release occurs only after final delivery. |
| 7. Default Remedy | If delivery fails, Buyer can seize and sell the pledged equipment to recover the prepayment plus costs. |
Realistic Discounts
The discount compensates the Buyer for providing upfront capital and bearing the production risk. Industry‑normal discounts for a secured forward are 5–15% , depending on contract size, collateral quality, and delivery term.

Required Collateral – The Equipment Guarantee
To be valid, the contract must specify at least one of the following as collateral, with a fair market value ≥150% of the prepayment:
- New mining equipment (excavators, crushers, wash plants, trucks) purchased directly with your prepayment, with serial numbers, invoices, and title documents.
- Verifiable used equipment independently appraised and with clear title, no prior liens.
- Gold bullion held in a third‑party audited depository, pledged to Buyer.
All equipment collateral must be:
- Purchased using your prepayment (traceable via bank statements and invoices).
- Perfected (registered with the movable assets registry or equivalent government authority).
- Valuated by an independent appraiser before funds are released.
- Insured with Buyer named as loss payee for the full appraised value.
- Stored at a designated, insured location with Buyer having right to inspect.
Important: Land is not the primary guarantee. The equipment that your money buys is what secures your investment.

Final Note on Discounts
A 15‑20% discount is still generous for a secured transaction. Most institutional forward gold purchases are done at spot price or with a 1‑3% premium for immediate delivery. A discount of 15‑20% implies either very high risk, very high trust, or both. Ensure the equipment collateral is independently verified, registered in your favor, and insured before you release any funds.
