Start Your Own Gold Mine

Start Your Own Gold Mine is investment project of GOLDIVANTI LP. We have started back in 2012 and 2013 our own first and small production of gold. Today we have access to many rich mining sites where our clients may start their own gold mine. We are developing mining sites in Tanzania and Uganda. Joint ventures and partnerships with local licensed mining site holders are welcome. Startup in gold mining is possible already with US $22,000 with sharing option or with US $66,000 without sharing option.

• Rudimentary ball mill startup
  This is classic Tanzanian rudimentary ball mill. It contains balls, it is run on diesel engine, it runs in dry mode. We will certainly convert it to wet and water mode, to demonstrate faster grinding. Its length is 81 cm, and outer diameter 94 cm. Wall thickness is 4 mm. Estimated fuel expense per hour is 1 liter. It has concrete foundation, yet sometimes just timber. Volume of a cylinder with radius of 0.47 m and height of 0.81 m is 0.56 ㎥. The capacity is 200 kilograms per hour or little bit more…
• Ball mills used in program Start Your Own Gold Mine
  We love ball mills. We love balls and rods used in ball mills and rod mills. We love crushing and grinding of gold bearing rocks. In this category we are teaching our clients and website visitors on some facts, tips and tricks on usage, maintenance and practical operations of ball mills. Learn how to get those rocks crushed and grinded!
• View on few resources, the line from rudimentary ball mill to the pools
  Date: 2019-05-01, North Mara, Tanzania. Dejan Vidojković is explaining the line from the elevated ball mills and jaw crushers to the pools downthere as they may be used to collect water, or recirculate the water. We must devise new several production lines on this mining site, that is why we are communicating and sending videos and pictures to each other as Mr. Jean Louis was located on distance in Europe, supervising the operations.
• Verification of water source on mining site in Tanzania
  Water sources in mining are major resource. On majority of artisanal mining sites in Tanzania water is rather obstacle than a resource. This situation here is quite different, the mining site needs a lot of water for processing. Verification of the water supply have taken place this day. Several water sources available on this mining site.
• Water pump and water source enabled on mining site in North Mara
  The submersible water pump have been put in action and its flow verified. This is good flow to handle and process several tonnes of tailings per hour. It may handle easily good fresh ores. We will still consider lessening the expenses by using solar power, or battery run bilge pumps.
• Jaw crusher test in Tanzania
  This is small jaw crusher and we are testing the function, not the capacity. We brought it back to life. It needs grease and kind care. Jaw crusher is our best friend.
• Prospecting Check Reports in Kenya
  For each gold prospecting action we are keeping Prospecting Check Reports, as this way we know where the sample was obtained, how much of it was verified, how sample was obtained, from which shaft, from which location, which geographical position was it and what gold particles have been found.
• Coin in the gold pan along gold particles
  Coin is placed in the pan to show the sizes and help in understanding the findings when pictures are sent for the analysis.

• Collection of black sand from natural drainage
  The black sand is collected on numerous, various places, directly from rain drainage.
• Mr. M'hengele Nkwabi calling people during black sand collection
  As you may see there are buckets around, as this is the action of collection of black sand, magnetite and some hematite. Such is used in recovery of gold particles. Normally miners are removing or separating black sand and it is funny that we even need it in larger quantities, as we are using magnetite in the technology we are applying to recover gold.
• Collection of black sand in Geita, Tanzania
  Magnetite, hematite and other heavy minerals are well known as black sand, they are disturbance to many gold prospectors and hinders final gold panning. Some companies are using magnetic separators to remove such black sand. Quite opposite on our side. The technology we are using requires black sand, so we are often collecting it.

• Artisanal mineral processing near Geita, Tanzania
  This is classic artisanal mineral processing near Geita, Tanzania, there is a sluice, there are some pools with water, the tailing heaps, and final milled ores are processed here, concentrate of gold is collected and processed with mercury. Mercury is poisonous and forbidden substance. We are never using mercury in our own mercury free gold recovery technology.
• Artisanal mining site and pond of water
  This is how artisanal mining sites look like in Geita, Tanzania. A pond of dirty water is valuable resources for mineral processing.
• Mining shaft on the mining site
  This is one of the mining shafts on mining site. People are going for rocks, while alluvial content was even one gram per shovel on certain locations. It is not quite logical to understand, but people on mining site may not know the mining site without conducting the Prospecting Checks for gold.
• Visit to mining site
  This mining site was discovered to have even one gram of gold in a simple shovel of the soil. People are building rooms at the place where they should not be built as exactly on that place the good gold grade have been found.

Then he arrived to Tanzania to help in establishment of a new mining site end of April 2019.
• Safety know for harnesses and descending into mining shafts
  This is safety knot that has to be used in each descending into the mining shafts, or otherwise, if rope is too short, there will be free fall to the bottom.
• 17 shovels in one minute x 4 kg = shoveling of 4 tonnes per hour
  This video shows good tempo of 17 shovels per minute, each shovel being minimum 4 kilograms, probably 6 kilograms. This rhythm of shoveling provides 4 tonnes to 6 tonnes per hour. Two persons shoveling together can easily load 4 tonnes of soil into the sluice. Even if not, then 2 people could easily load 2 tonnes of soil per hour. To load 10 tonnes of soil per hour one would then employ 4 to 10 people. This makes it possible to handle 10 tonnes per hour and 100 tonnes per day.
