In Progress

A community-focused refining facility designed to support local artisanal mining operations with fair trade practices and sustainable development principles.

Project Story

The Community Site project represents our commitment to empowering local artisanal mining communities through accessible, fair-trade precious metals processing. This innovative facility is designed to serve small-scale miners who traditionally lack access to professional refining services.

Our approach prioritizes community ownership and skills development, ensuring that local miners receive fair value for their materials while learning modern safety and environmental practices. The facility features scaled-down versions of our advanced processing equipment, making it economically viable for smaller operations.

Currently 70% complete, the project includes comprehensive training programs, equipment leasing options, and a profit-sharing model that ensures sustainable community benefits. We expect full operations to begin in Q4 2024.
