Programs
One program, four phases, one gate.
The first Golden Ceiba program is in preparation. It runs on defined ground in West Africa and is designed so that every commitment of capital is unlocked by a measurement, not by a forecast.
We begin with a fully licensed sampling program on defined ground, mercury-free recovery, and refiner-grade documentation from the first gram. We do not order plant before we have proven grade; ordering ahead of proof is the single most common way small mines fail.
The phased approach
Sample → Prove → Build → Scale
Sample
Licensed ground access. Gridded pitting. A mobile bulk-sampling unit processes every pit’s gravel. Gravity recovery — no mercury, no cyanide.
Produces: a real grade map — and the first documented gold, produced by the proving process itself.
Prove
An agreed average grade over a defined volume is the go/no-go gate. The gate is set before sampling begins, so the result cannot be argued into a decision after the fact.
Produces: a decision made on data, not optimism.
Build
A pre-negotiated wash plant and earthmoving fleet are ordered only after the gate passes. Local crew hired and trained.
Produces: a permanent, documented, mechanized operation.
Scale
Adjacent proven ground developed from operating cash flow. Formal partnership with the State as scale justifies it.
Produces: a growing operation with a track record, not a one-pit venture.
Ground and tenure
Nothing described here has been drilled or sampled by us.
Our target ground lies in West Africa. Until the sampling program has run, we describe it as a target and publish no grade, no tonnage and no resource estimate. Golden Ceiba holds no mineral resource or reserve estimate under any reporting code.
Tenure, permit references and program detail are shared directly with counterparties conducting diligence, under the authorizations in force at the time — not published ahead of them.
Timelines on this page are targets. Field presence from September 2026 and a sampling start targeted for Q4 2026 depend on authorizations being in force; they are intentions, not commitments.
