Integrated Vat Leaching & Tailings Recovery Revenue Model
Summary
This report outlines the proposed integrated vat leaching and tailings recovery revenue model designed to generate recurring leasing income while creating long-term secondary gold recovery opportunities. The project combines vat leaching tank leasing services for artisanal miners with the strategic accumulation and reprocessing of residual vat-leached sands through the planned 200TPD Gravity + CIP Recovery Plant.
The model is designed to generate:
- recurring leasing revenue,
- long-term feedstock security,
- scalable gold recovery opportunities,
- and sustainable regional mining partnerships.
The proposed infrastructure includes:
12 Vat Leaching Tanks
generating estimated leasing revenue of approximately:
USD $172,800 annually
based on a projected leasing fee of:
USD $300 per week per tank
Laboratory test work conducted on regional vat-leached sands also confirmed the presence of residual recoverable gold values, creating additional secondary recovery potential through advanced gravity and CIP processing systems.
The integrated dual-revenue model positions the project for long-term operational sustainability through:
- vat leasing income,
- tailings acquisition,
- and centralized secondary gold recovery operations.

Gold Buying, Tailings Recovery & Secondary Processing Revenue Model
Integrated Gold Recovery & Revenue Ecosystem
This financial model outlines the project’s diversified gold acquisition and recovery strategy built around artisanal mining partnerships, vat leaching operations, wet pan processing services, and centralized secondary tailings recovery through the planned 200TPD Gravity + Ball Mill + Carbon-in-Pulp (CIP) Processing Plant.
The model demonstrates how the operation generates multiple complementary revenue streams through:
- direct gold buying from artisanal miners,
- leasing of vat leaching infrastructure,
- wet pan ore processing services,
- strategic accumulation of residual sands and tailings,
- and secondary gold recovery from previously processed material.
The project is strategically positioned within an active artisanal mining region in Zimbabwe containing continuous ore production activity, historical dump material, and long-term feedstock opportunities.
Using an estimated gold selling price of USD $155 per gram and an estimated artisanal gold buying price of USD $145 per gram, the model illustrates potential revenue margins achievable through:
- artisanal gold buying operations,
- recovery from vat-leached sands,
- wet pan processing residuals,
- and historical tailings reprocessing partnerships.
The estimates presented are based on preliminary operational assumptions, regional processing activity, laboratory assay results, and example tonnage scenarios sourced from existing tailings recovery opportunities within the project area.
This integrated recovery strategy is designed to support:
- long-term operational sustainability,
- continuous feedstock supply,
- scalable processing growth,
- diversified income generation,
- and enhanced gold recovery efficiency across the regional artisanal mining sector.
Gold Buying & Low-Grade Ore Acquisition Revenue Model
Strategic Feedstock Supply & Secondary Gold Recovery Opportunity
Silobela hosts hundreds of active artisanal miners producing significant volumes of low-grade ore and vat-leached sands that are often discarded after only basic free-milling recovery processes. While many artisanal operators recover coarse visible gold, substantial recoverable gold values may still remain locked within low-grade ore, slimes, and partially processed sands.
The proposed project intends to strategically acquire and process these materials through the centralized 200TPD Gravity + Ball Mill + Carbon-in-Pulp (CIP) Processing Plant using more advanced recovery systems capable of extracting additional gold from material previously regarded as uneconomical.
This ore acquisition strategy creates:
• continuous feedstock supply for the processing plant,
• additional gold recovery opportunities,
• scalable long-term revenue streams,
• stronger partnerships with artisanal miners,
• and enhanced operational sustainability.
The revenue model demonstrates how purchasing low-grade ore at strategic pricing levels may generate attractive recovery margins while simultaneously supporting long-term plant utilization and regional recovery expansion.
Future Flotation Expansion & Secondary Recovery Potential
Long-Term Metallurgical Optimization & Additional Revenue Opportunity
The proposed flotation expansion strategy represents a future secondary recovery opportunity designed to further enhance gold recovery efficiency beyond the primary 200TPD Gravity + Ball Mill + CIP Processing Plant.
Following primary processing operations, retained tailings sands may still contain ultra-fine gold particles, sulphide-associated gold, and partially locked mineralized material not fully recovered during initial milling and leaching stages. Rather than discarding these materials, the project intends to strategically retain and accumulate processed tailings for future secondary recovery treatment through flotation technology and advanced metallurgical optimization systems.
This future expansion model creates the potential for:
• additional long-term gold recovery,
• improved metallurgical efficiency,
• enhanced utilization of historical tailings,
• and increased operational profitability over the life of the project.
The conceptual flotation expansion also demonstrates the project’s scalability and long-term commitment to maximizing recovery from both current and historical feedstock material sourced throughout the Silobela mining region.
Dambridge Block 1 Gold Mining Expansion Projection
Shaft Development & Deep-Level Production Revenue Potential
This technical and financial projection outlines the estimated gold production potential associated with the continued shaft development of the Dambridge Block 1 mining section (ATM NTOBE B), currently developed to approximately 28 meters depth within a known gold-bearing structure in Silobela, Zimbabwe.
Current underground development and sampling activities have confirmed the presence of a mineralized belt returning preliminary assay values of approximately 0.29 g/t Au at the current shaft depth. The proposed expansion model evaluates the potential operational and financial implications of extending underground development toward the targeted 60-meter production horizon.
The projection explores possible production scenarios based on:
- continued strike and depth extension of the mineralized structure,
- increased underground ore access,
- improved mining continuity,
- scalable ore extraction capacity,
- and centralized processing through the planned Gravity + Ball Mill + Carbon-in-Pulp (CIP) Recovery Plant.
The report further evaluates:
- estimated ore extraction volumes,
- potential gold recovery outcomes,
- projected processing revenues,
- operational mining considerations,
- and long-term feedstock contribution to the broader integrated gold recovery operation.
The objective of the projection is to provide investors and strategic partners with a preliminary conceptual overview of the potential production upside associated with deeper shaft development and future underground mining expansion within the Dambridge Block 1 section.
All estimates presented within the report are preliminary conceptual projections prepared for internal investment evaluation purposes and remain subject to further geological verification, underground development, sampling, metallurgical testing, and technical feasibility assessments.
