What is your rationale for taking part in 121 Mining Investment?

We are actively seeking investors who are interested in supporting our project.

What recent news would you like to highlight to investors attending?

– Exceptional potential of 800k+ OZ Gold deposit
– The average gold content in a 50-hectare gold mining area reaches up to 0.8g per ton within depths of 0-5 meters, and increases to 1.2g per ton at depths below 5 meters.
– Gold prices have reached record highs and are expected to continue rising in the future.
– The mining concession is estimated to have a lifespan of around 15 years, with the possibility of extension.

What do you see as the key risks and challenges facing your company at the moment and how are you overcoming these?

– Market Volatility: Fluctuations in the price of gold and market demand, as well as changes in government policies related to mining, can impact profitability and revenue forecasts in Mexico. In response to this challenge, we are exploring opportunities to diversify our product offerings or secure long-term contracts with buyers in Mexico to stabilize revenue streams amidst market volatility.

 

– Talent Acquisition, Retention, and Development Strategy: Recruiting a qualified workforce in the competitive Mexican mining industry and retaining key personnel is crucial for the success of our project. To achieve this, we will invest in local talent development by deploying a dedicated qualified European team at the start of the mining operation to ensure smooth production. Following successful production commencement, we will focus on implementing training programs for Mexican employees, offering competitive compensation packages aligned with local standards, and providing opportunities for career advancement within the company. This comprehensive approach aims to attract and retain top talent in the Mexican mining industry.

What are your key goals for the next 3, 6 and 12 months?

3 Months:

– Establish a Mexican company for the mining project.
– Preparation of the mining site and construction of the mining facility.
– Procure heavy equipment necessary for operations.

6 Months:

– Commence production activities at the mining site.
– Aim for an initial production of 20+ kg of gold starting from month 7.

12 Months:

– Expand the team to introduce a second shift, enhancing gold production capacity.

What do you think makes your company such a compelling investment?

Strong relationship with landowner: Our close and collaborative relationship with the landowner has allowed for a smooth project launch and prompt start of production. This partnership ensures that we have secure access to the mining site and can operate efficiently without any delays or disruptions.

Lower production costs: Our strategic focus on surface mining has enabled us to significantly reduce production costs compared to our competitors.

Validation of geological estimates: Our geological estimates have been validated by an established neighbor company with a proven track record of producing over two million ounces of gold since 2005. This validation provides credibility to our projections and enhances investor confidence in the potential success of our mining project.
