SMALL PORTABLE MINING MILL TO PROCESS COPPER, GOLD AND SILVER
THE MARKET
There are many opportunities to provide services or products to this huge industry.
OPPORTUNITIES ON MINING
While most of the large exploration and exploitation are done by big companies, there is a lot of room for medium size, small and micro companies. When the business is good large competitors don’t care for the small and micro business opportunities. So, there is the money for small investors. Some of them are:
- Buy a participation on a running mine
- Put a processing plant to a mine selling basically rocks to larger companies.
- Install a processing plant to serve several independent mine owners.
- Run a mobile small processing mill moving in between micro mines.
- Just trading. Buy minerals right at the gate of micro mines lacking enough working capital. Sell them later to larger players or to the state. It is advisable to process them before selling to get the best return.
- Finance the exploitation of small mines.
- Other opportunities available.
Let us know how much money you would like to invest, and we can figure out which is the best option. Medium size mining needs well over US$ 100 million. Small mining can need as little as US$ 3 million. However micro mining opportunities can start with US$ 100.000
BUYING MINERAL TO SMALL PRODUCERS
The state of
There are many small mines feasible to be exploited, but they don’t have really technical studies. However, the mine owners are able to exploit superficial and evident minerals that can be seen or found with little excavation, just with the basic resources they got. The opportunity is to buy those surface minerals. Technical analysis to prove the quality of those superficial minerals and metals are available BEFORE buying or digging or we order them before producing or before buying.
MOBILE MINERAL MILL
One of the business opportunities is to build a mobile mineral mill to process cooper, gold and silver. Frequently they come together in mine exploitation.
ADVANTAGES
Part of the equipment is already available.
There is a design to build the equipment.
A skilled personnel is available to build and do the maintenance of the mill.
The same team will exploit the mill on the mines.
There is a set of mines already studied with potential to start the exploitation.
LIMITATIONS
Lack of capital to finish the construction of the mill: 2 months.
Need of working capital for 90 days to finance the operation and the collecting of the sales from the state.
THE BUSINESS
The mobile mill will be parked on the side of a mine to process the outcome of such mine of copper, gold and silver. At the same time the mill will receive trucks load of minerals from other nearby micro mines. This is going to be a full time operation.
Initially the production will be sold to the state plants, which pay invoices between 30 and 60 days. Once secured the initial cash flow, the production will be also sold to other buyers. But the state is already a secure buyer. So, the business has a secure market. If production keeps growing, then other buyers need to be found. Presently there is a great demand for everything being produced.
POTENTIAL
There is great potential on this business model as other mills could be built and installed on other micro mines.
SOCIAL RETURN
In addition to monetary profits, the standard of living of many families owning and working their micro mines will be improved as they will have a purchasing power right at their mine. This social benefit is very important, because most probably some money will have to be advanced for their own life expenses as they work directly on their mines. Also some supplies will have to be given directly to them to exploit the mine, as they are too far away from stores on the mountains or dessert. So, our system of production would bring work, life and welfare to many families.
