Investing in Gold Mining and Trade:

Relatively Low-Cost and Low-Risk Gold Mining:
Gold Rock Dump Processing and Surface Mining
Decades ago, the efficiency of gold extraction was not at today’s levels.
The gold remaining in so-called ‘dumps’ or ‘old waste’ from mining operations many decades ago can be extracted with current day technology at low-cost and low-risk levels.

Investing in Gold Mining and Trade – Opportunity 1 (South Africa)
This gold mining operation is one of the last medium-sized gold rock dump opportunities in South Africa. This operation is a low-risk gold mining investment opportunity as it will be mined opencast.
Following an all-inclusion ethical approach, various local stakeholders of the area are involved in the operations of this mine.
All the necessary due diligence has been done – licenses, rehabilitation guarantee, social and labour plan, title and clearance from statutory authorities have been obtained.
This opencast gold mine is a great opportunity that has been mined in the late 1920s. In the past the gold extraction efficiency was not on today’s levels; therefore, we obtained the entire “dump” also known as ‘old waste’. With current day technology we can extract the remaining gold, which the old-time machinery couldn’t reach.
The annual production is approx. 150 kg. The total reserve has been forecasted at 2.2 Moz gold.
Feasibility studies have been made when the gold spot price was USD 1,850 / oz and have yielded positive results.

Investing in Gold Mining and Trade – Opportunity 2 (Ghana)
The operator is successfully mining small-scale opencast alluvial Gold concessions in Ghana and is now in the position to extend their operations. The miner has secured close to 15 plus additional small scale (including 2 large scale) concessions. The new concessions are located closely to various large-scale resources.
Most of the due diligence has already been done, including licenses, rehabilitation guarantee, social and labour plan, title and clearance from statutory authorities is obtained. Additionally, the company has successfully finished prospecting on four of their new concessions, with very promising results.
This project is a unique cost-effective mining operation(s). Investors have the chance to partake in several smaller satellite operations, therefore spreading the risk and ensuring a steady return.
Expected production from the new concessions is 2 – 5 kg gold per month, with increase planned for 2026.
Feasibility studies have been made when the gold spot price was USD 1,850 / oz and have yielded positive results.

Gold Trade Financing
The UAE handles approximately 25% of the world’s physical gold trade, a testament to the success of gold investments at UAE.
The UAE established itself as the world’s second-largest global gold trade center, taking over the UK in 2023, with over US$129 billion in total trade, marking a 36% increase from the year 2024.
The country has become a crucial link in the global gold supply chain, connecting miners, refiners, traders, and end-users across continents.
The rapidly growing gold trade in the UAE, with 36% growth in 2023 alone, requires a correspondingly higher level of liquidity.
This market situation is an interesting opportunity for providers of trade finance.
Investors who provide trade finance for the global gold trade in the UAE, mainly in Dubai, participate directly in the trade with their investment.
The typical minimum term of trade finance is one year, but investors can also withdraw early.
Financing options for gold trading are mainly offered for three types of trading:
- Arbitrage trading: arbitrage is the simultaneous buying and selling of an asset in different markets to take advantage of small price differences.
s - Provision of liquidity: Customer X sends a bar from country A, but wants to sell immediately. The dealer sells from his own stock and ‘replenishes’ his stock when the delivery from customer X arrives. The dealer offers pre-financing for a maximum of three days.
s - Location SWAP: Dealer Y needs gold bars in Dubai immediately and hands over his gold to the dealer at his location, e.g. in Switzerland. The dealer arranges the transport to Dubai. While the gold bars are on the trader’s books, the transport period of a maximum of two years requires short-term financing options.
The trade financier’s profit is generated from the constantly repeated short-term transactions over a longer period of time.
