Bering Sea Gold Expert looking for partners
As many of you know, I have dredged offshore Nome for 8 years, I have designed and built many successful dredges including The Edge from season II and the green ice hut Zeke used on Season III. I ran my own operations with 6" and 8" dredges for six years and for the last two seasons I have been a partner in (by far) the most successful diver-less suction dredge in Nome, which will be operating its 11th season in Nome this summer. While I will continue to work on this operation for the 2014 season, I am contemplating putting together my own, much larger, operation for 2015.
Based on very sound production estimates, sampling, and extensive experience, my design should produce each season between 5x and 10x the amount of gold the CR does, as reported on the show.
I am one of a handful of people in the world with the level of experience in offshore Nome gold mining, diver-less mining technical knowledge, engineering technical skills, and access to good ground to be able to put together a successful operation without the years of R&D and disappointment that other attempts have gone through. While I have the design and construction plan very well developed, I have only started investigating how to fund this project.
I estimate this project will need about $3.5M (includes 15% contingency) by September 2014 to be feasible to be complete, in Nome, and fully operational by the end of June 2015, for a full season. (Operations of this size typically do not start mining until June 21st, due to icebergs; but can stay operating through the end of October, sometimes later)
Ideally I would find up to 12 partners that would each bring at least $250K to the project to raise the $3M more I need, but I know that is not likely. If anyone has some ideas, experience, or interest send me a PM. I know there are all sorts of securities laws I have to be careful about.
In these early stages, I'm not looking for workers at this time.
