Gold Buying & Low-Grade Ore Acquisition
Silobela is known to be the host of hundreds of artisan miners actively extracting gold in the area. Artisanal miners often discard low-grade ore material containing less than 1g/t after recovering only the free-milling gold through basic processing methods.
However, these materials may still contain significant recoverable gold values that can be economically extracted through advanced leaching and recovery systems. This creates an opportunity for the project to acquire low-grade ore and vat leached sands either at minimal cost or through strategic partnerships, enabling additional gold recovery and enhanced operational profitability.
Expand operations into gold buying and acquisition of low-grade ores discarded by artisanal miners. With access to more advanced recovery equipment and processing methods, these materials present significant untapped value and recovery potential.
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.
