The Aboso Mine is currently being used by small-scale miners, however, there is no local toll mill and those miners have to truck their ore a great distance - costing them time and money. There is a great opportunity here to offer local miners a more convenient local toll mill to process and sell their ore.

Promithian Global Ventures, Inc. plans to construct a potentially highly profitable toll mill near the workings of the historic Aboso gold mine to take advantage of lightly regulated local miners producing high-grade and low-cost ore and tailings in the area. Expected local miner/toll mill split of the revenue from selling the gold is 50%/50%.

In March 2021 Promithian Global Ventures, Inc. (PGVI) concluded negotiations and signed a legally binding Agreement to purchase a 16.07 square kilometer gold concession covering the historic Aboso Mine in Ghana. The gold concession covers the locality of Abosso, in the Western Region of Ghana. Regulated hard rock mines in Ghana are producing gold at less than $800.00 US an ounce.

The concession covers the three shafts and twenty-two working levels of the closed Aboso Mine. The mine exploited a Witwatersrand Type conglomerate gold deposit from the early 1900’s through to 1956. In 1974 a full feasibility study was prepared on the property for the Government of Ghana. The Lonrho Feasibility Study documented the Aboso Mine Gold Concessions’ history and remaining resources:

The Promithian Global Ventures, Inc. has determined the following six sources of gold ore, tailings and gold dust exist within and around the Aboso Mine Gold Concession:

1. Legal small-scale miners are using the existing shafts of the mine to enter the top 10 working levels to scavenge high-grade ore. They are recovering between forty to forty-five million US dollars’ worth of ore (with grades between 10 g/t and 80 g/t) a year. The small-scale miners are hand processing the ore and recovering approximately thirty percent of the gold.
2. The small-scale miners’ tailings heaps have been tested and graded between 14.5 and 15.5 g/ton gold with a 93.4 % recovery rate.
3. Dried tailings ponds containing 8,850,000 of original Aboso Mine tailings exist. Tailings from mills of that generation are mined and milled elsewhere and can assay from 2.5 to 4.5 g/ton. Five substantial pits exist on the property indicating tailings have been removed and trucked off the property. Processing already transported to surface, crushed, and ground tailings has an extremely low cost.
4. Nearby small-scale miners are currently producing and trucking ore to two other toll mills in the region. An Aboso toll mill would reduce their trucking distance and cost. Over the course of a year, as their contracts expired, they would migrate to an Aboso toll mill. Grades vary but would average 5.5 to 7.5 g/ton.
5. Nearby small-scale miners are currently producing and trucking dried tailings from closed mine site tailings’ ponds to two other toll mills in the region. An Aboso toll mill would reduce their trucking distance and cost. Over the course of a year, as their contracts expire, they would migrate to an Aboso toll mill. Processing already transported to surface, crushed, and ground tailings has an extremely low cost.
6. Alluvial miners in the region produce a gold dust that could be purchased and refined in a Promithian refinery once phase two of the Aboso toll mill/refinery/processing plant is completed. This is the lowest cost gold of all and can be purchased for under $700.00 an ounce for cash at the miners’ location.

Our competition will consist of toll mills that will be further away from the mine than our toll mill - thus eating into the miners' time and profit, which, as long as we operate properly, eliminates them as viable competition for local miners.

Mine to high-end market is the Promithian Global Ventures, Inc. business model. It begins with a toll mill to take advantage of low-cost and lightly regulated small-scale miners in and around the Aboso Mine Gold Concession. This first step will be followed by refining, alloying, and finally manufacturing of high-value finished products in the jewelry and industrial industries. Nonetheless, the profits from a Promithian Toll Mill will be significant given the high-grade ore being produced by small-scale miners. Promithian believes it will produce gold at lower than eight hundred dollars an ounce. A greater than fifty percent discount to the current spot price!
