BUSINESS PLAN FOR THE MINING INDUSTRY

Profile image of Victor Manuel Irigoyen

The Lampotal Plant is located on Ejido property in the Municipality of Veta Grande, Zacatecas, Mexico, in the town of Lampotal. The Plant’s original design was that of a 10 tank static vat leaching plant, which operated for approximately 30 years, processing approximately 200 tons a day, of material from the Spanish Colonial period, that was first processed by the mercury amalgamation process. In 1995, the Plant shut down due to continued increases in operating expenses, and the low spot market price of silver that came about in the later part of the 1980s. Each leaching tank can hold approximately 320 metric tons of tailings. Traditionally, static vat leaching plants processing this type of material, recover about 50% of the ore’s recoverable precious metals values. The final product would be a concentrated precipitate of silver, gold, mercury, copper, and other trash base metals and organic materials.

How to Write a Gold Mining Business Plan [Sample Template]

Do you want to start a gold mining company? If YES, here is a detailed sample small scale gold mining business plan template & feasibility report.  There are money spinning businesses that are monopolized by wealthy people and accredited investors and one of such businesses is operating a gold ore mine.

The gold ore mining business is indeed a profitable business, but you must be ready to scale through very high barriers before launching this type of business. If you have conducted your market research and feasibility studies, the next step to follow is to write a detailed blueprint of how you intend raising your seed capital, setting up the business, managing the flow of the business, sorting out tax and marketing your services amongst others.

Below is a sample gold mining company business plan template that will help you successfully launch your own business;

A Sample Small Scale Gold Mining Business Plan Template

1. industry overview.

Players in the Gold and Silver Ore Mining industry primarily mine gold and silver-bearing ores. Mining activities include the development of mine sites and the on-site processing of ore into a concentrate or bullion. Gold and silver ore mining companies typically retain ownership of the semi-processed gold or silver products and pay for further refining on a toll-charge basis.

If you are an observer of the Gold and Silver Ore Mining industry, you will notice that the industry revenue is largely a function of production volume and commodity prices. For the Gold and Silver Ore Mining industry, output volumes and sales prices for both gold and silver have fallen over the past five years, leading to significant industry contraction.

Meanwhile, demand from manufacturers of electrical equipment, electronic products and jewelry, which comprises the industry’s primary markets, has stagnated or even declined over the past five years as a result of high import penetration and input costs. Overall, industry revenue is expected to decline over the five years to 2017.

In the united states of America, the industry generates over $9 billion annually from more than 162 gold and silver ore mining companies scattered all around the country. The industry is responsible for the employment of over 14,282 people. Experts project the industry to grow at a -9.0 percent annual rate. Barrick, Kinross Gold and Newmont are the market leaders in this industry in the United States of America; they have the lion market share in the industry.

A recent report published by IBISWorld shows that the five years to 2017 have been volatile for the Gold and Silver Ore Mining industry. The report further stated that the industry revenue spiked until 2012, proving this industry to be one of the few that benefited from the financial crisis, as well as the years of economic instability that followed.

In times of economic turmoil, investors look to buy safe-haven assets such as gold and silver, causing gold and silver prices to surge. This helped industry revenue to grow through to 2012. In fact, strong demand from domestic and international investors drove gold prices to all-time highs. Furthermore, an undersupply of gold due to decreased industry production in the 2000s further contributed to the spike in prices.

If you are considering starting a gold mining business whether on a small scale or on a large scale, then you should ensure that you obtain all the necessary permits from the local, state and federal government . The truth is that this type of business does pretty well when it is strategically positioned.

In summary, gold mining business is a profitable business venture and it is open for any aspiring entrepreneur to come in and establish his or her business; you can choose to start on a small scale on a large scale with robust distribution networks all across the United States of America and other countries of the world.

6. SWOT Analysis

Due to our drive for excellence when it comes to running a standard gold mining company, we were able to engage some of the finest business consultants in the United States of America to look through our business concept and together we were able to critically examine the prospect of the business and to assess ourselves to be sure we have what it takes to run a standard gold mining business that can compete favorably in the industry.

In view of that, we were able to take stock of our strengths, our weakness, our opportunities and also the threats that we are likely going to be exposed to in the United States of America. Here is a of what we got from the critically conducted SWOT Analysis for TTK® Gold Mining Company;

Our strength lies in the fact that we have state of the art gold and silver mining equipment and trucks that has positioned us to meet the demand of our clients even if the demand tripled over night.

Another factor that counts to our advantage is the background of our Chief Executive Office; he has a robust experience in the industry and also a pretty good academic qualification to match the experience acquired which has placed him amongst the top flight players in the gold and silver mining industry. We are not ignoring the fact that our team of highly qualified and dedicated workers will also serve as strength for our organization.

We do not take for granted the facts that we have weaknesses. In fact, the reality that we are setting up a gold mining company in the United States might pose a little challenge. In essence our chosen location might be our weakness.

The opportunities available to us are unlimited. There are loads of jewelry making companies and other manufacturing companies that make use of raw gold all across the globe and all what we are going to do to push our products to them is already perfected.

The threat that is likely going to confront us is the fact that we are competing with already established gold mining companies in the United States and other countries of the world. Of course, they will compete with us in winning over the available market. Another threat that we are likely going to face is unfavorable government policies and economic downturn.

7. MARKET ANALYSIS

Gold and silver mining is a lucrative business in the United States and Canada and in looking at the trends of these mega countries over the course of gold’s bull, it is apparent that the results vary quite substantially; and China and Russia that have experienced the biggest growth over this stretch. China in particular has carved out an incredible growth story, with its production volume up a staggering 92 percent since 2001.

Talking about the two North American land giants, their gold-mining trends have been ugly over the last decade or so. Incredibly, both the US and Canada have seen output fall by nearly a third to 2011’s respective tallies of 237mt and 110mt. Their mature gold-mining infrastructures were just decimated by the secular bear that preceded the current bull.

Up until the 1990s the US and Canada’s gold-mining industries operated like well-oiled machines, with the miners consistently putting forth sizeable capital towards exploration and development. Exploration was successful in renewing and growing the reserves that were being mined, and continual expansion and new development sustained and even grew production.

It is common trend in the gold and silver ore mining line of business to find mining companies positioning their business in locations and communities where they can easily have access to mines and of course cheap labor. If you make the mistake of positioning this type of business in a location where you would have to travel a distance before you can access gold and silver mines, then you would have to struggle to make profits and maintain your overhead and logistics.

Also, another trend in this line of business is that most registered and well organized mining companies look beyond the market within their locations or state; they ensure that they strike business deals with leading jewelry making companies in the United States of America and other countries of the world.

The truth is that if as a gold mining company you are able to become a vendor to one or more jewelry making giants in the United States of America or in other countries of the world, you will always continue to smile to the bank.

8. Our Target Market

When it comes to supplying product from gold and silver mines, there is indeed a well-defined market. This goes to show that the target market for products from gold mining companies is far reaching. In view of that, we have conducted our market research and we have ideas of what our target market would be expecting from us. We are in business to engage in supply of raw gold and silver to the following organizations;

Our Competitive Advantage

Some of our competitive advantages are availability of resource, ability to forward sell production when appropriate and of course the ability to comply with environmental laws.

As a standard and licensed gold mining company, we know that gaining a competitive edge requires a detailed analysis of the demographics of the surrounding area and the nature of the existing competitors. And even if you are successful at first, new competitors could enter your market at any time to steal your regular customers. Hence we will not hesitate to adopt successful and workable strategies from our competitors.

Another competitive advantage that we have is the vast experience of our management team; we have people on board who understand how to grow a business from the scratch to becoming a national phenomenon. Our large and robust distribution network and of course our excellent customer service culture will definitely count as a strong strength for the business.

Lastly, our employees will be well taken care of, and their welfare package will be among the best within our category in the industry, meaning that they will be more than willing to build the business with us and help deliver our set goals and achieve all our aims and objectives. We will also give good working conditions and commissions to freelance sales agents that we will recruit from time to time.

We have been able to critically examine the gold and silver ore mining line of business, we have analyzed our chances in the industry and we have been able to come up with the following sales forecast. The sales projections are based on information gathered on the field and some assumptions that are peculiar to startups in the United States of America.

Below are the sales projections for TTK® Gold Mining Company, it is based on the location of our business and other factors as it relates to small scale and medium scale gold and silver mining company startups in the United States of America;

N.B : This projection was done based on what is obtainable in the industry and with the assumption that there won’t be any major economic meltdown and there won’t be any major competitor offering same product and customer care services as we do within same location. Please note that the above projection might be lower and at the same time it might be higher.

Before choosing a location to start TTK® Gold Mining Company, we conducted thorough market survey and feasibility studies in order for us to penetrate the available market in the United States of America. We have detailed information and data that we were able to utilize to structure our business to compete with other gold and silver mining companies.

We hired experts who have good understanding of the gold and silver ore mining line of business to help us develop marketing strategies that will help us achieve our business goal of winning a larger percentage of the available market.

TTK® Gold Mining Company will adopt the following sales and marketing approach to sell our raw gold and silver;

11. Publicity and Advertising Strategy

Regardless of the fact that our gold mining company can favorably compete with other leading mining companies in the United States of America and in any part of the world, we will still go ahead to intensify publicity for all our products and brand.

TTK® Gold Mining Company has a long term plan of exporting our product all across the United States of America and other countries of the world. This is why we will deliberately build our brand to be well accepted in Boise County – Idaho before venturing out to other cities all across the United States of America and other countries of the world.

12. Our Pricing Strategy

The payment policy adopted by TTK® Gold Mining Company is all inclusive because we are quite aware that different customers prefer different payment options as it suits them but at the same time, we will ensure that we abide by the financial rules and regulation of the United States of America.

Here are the payment options that TTK® Gold Mining Company will make available to her clients;

In view of the above, we have chosen banking platforms that will enable our clients make payment for our gold and silver without any stress on their part. Our bank account numbers will be made available on our website and promotional materials.

13. Startup Expenditure (Budget)

From our market survey and feasibility studies, we have been able to come up with a detailed budget of how to achieve our aim of establishing a standard and highly competitive gold mining company in the United States of America and here are the key areas where we will spend our startup capital on;

We would need an estimate of two million dollars ( $2 million ) to successfully set up a standard and highly competitive gold mining company in the United States of America.

Generating Startup Capital for TTK® Gold Mining Company

No matter how fantastic your business idea might be, if you don’t have the required money to finance the business, the business might not become a reality. Finance is a very important factor when it comes to starting a gold and silver mining business.

TTK® Gold Mining Company is a partnership business that is owned and financed by Tony Kenneth, Tyson Barker and Karis Murphy. They do not intend to welcome any external business partner which is why they decided to restrict the sourcing of startup capital to 3 major sources.

N.B: We have been able to generate about $500, 000 ( Personal savings $400, 000 and soft loan from family members $100, 000 ) and we are at the final stages of obtaining a loan facility of $1.5 million from our bank. All the papers and documents have been signed and submitted, the loan has been approved and any moment from now our account will be credited with the amount.

14. Sustainability and Expansion Strategy

The future of a business lies in the number of loyal customers that they have the capacity and competence of their employees, their investment strategy and their business structure. If all of these factors are missing from a business, then it won’t be too long before the business close shop.

One of our major goals of starting TTK® Gold Mining Company is to build a business that will survive off its own cash flow without the need for injecting finance from external sources once the business is officially running. We know that one of the ways of gaining approval and winning customers over is to supply our raw gold and silver a little bit cheaper than what is obtainable in the market and we are well prepared to survive on lower profit margin for a while.

TTK® Gold Mining Company will make sure that the right foundation, structures and processes are put in place to ensure that our staff welfare are well taken of. Our company’s corporate culture is designed to drive our business to greater heights and training and retraining of our workforce is at the top burner.

As a matter of fact, profit-sharing arrangement will be made available to all our management staff and it will be based on their performance for a period of three years or more. We know that if that is put in place, we will be able to successfully hire and retain the best hands we can get in the industry; they will be more committed to help us build the business of our dreams.

gold mine business plan pdf

It should be noted that there is no special software required to use these templates. All business plans come in Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel format. Each business plan features:

1.0 Executive Summary

The purpose of this business plan is to raise $600,000 for the development of a private gold mining business while showcasing the expected financials and operations over the next three years. Gold Mine, Inc. (“the Company”) is a New York based corporation that will excavate gold from leased mines within United States. The Company was founded by John Doe.

1.1 Products and Services

As stated above, the Company intends to acquire land leases on properties known to have gold deposits. The business will then develop gold mines on these properties with the intent to extract, smelt, and package the gold into bars for sale onto the open market. The initial capital sought in this business plan will allow the business can acquire its first land lease while concurrently sourcing the equipment needed to operate a moderate sized gold mining operation. It should be noted that at all times, the business will comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws (including OSHA) in order to ensure the safety of all employees working at the Gold Mine site. The third section of the business plan will further describe the gold mining operations conducted by the Gold Mine, Inc.

1.2 The Financing

At this time, Mr. Doe is seeking $600,000 of private funds for the development of the Company’s gold mining operations. Tentatively, Management is seeking to sell a 40% interest in the business in exchange for the capital sought in this business plan.

1.3 Mission Statement

Gold Mine’s mission is to cost effectively extract gold from known precious metal deposits with the intent to sell the refined precious metal to the open market.

1.4 Mangement Team

The Company was founded by John Doe. Mr. Doe has more than 10 years of gold mining experience. Through his expertise, he will be able to bring the operations of the business to profitability within its first year of operations.

1.5 Sales Forecasts

Mr. Doe expects a strong rate of growth at the start of operations. Below are the expected financials over the next three years.

1.6 Expansion Plan

The Founder expects that the business will aggressively expand during the first three years of operation. As the business becomes profitable it will make substantial reinvestments into the Company’s gold mining infrastructure. Additionally, the Company may seek to acquire additional land leases on proven grounds for gold mining.

2.0 Company and Financing Summary

2.1 Registered Name and Corporate Structure

Gold Mine, Inc. The business is registered as a for profit corporation in the State of New York.

2.2 Required Funds

At this time, the Company requires $600,000 of equity funds. Below is a breakdown of how these funds will be used:

2.3 Investor Equity

At this time, Mr. Doe is seeking to sell a 40% interest in the business in exchange for the capital sought in this business plan. The investor(s) will receive a seat on the board of directors and a regular stream of dividends starting in the first year of operations.

2.4 Management Equity

After the requisite capital is raised, Mr. Doe will retain a 60% ownership interest in the business.

2.5 Exit Strategy

The Management has discussed and planned for three possible exit strategies. The first strategy would be to sell the Company to a larger entity at a significant premium. Since, the precious metals mining industry maintains a moderately low risk profile once the business is established; the Management feels that the Company could be sold for ten to fifteen times earnings.

3.0 Products and Services

As stated in the executive summary, the Company intends to operate in a gold mining capacity. Prior to the onset of operations, Mr. Doe will have acquired a land lease on a property that is known to have gold deposits. At this time, it is unclear as to the method that the Company will use in order to extract gold. The most profitable method of exacting gold would be to lease an existing gold mine facility with the intent to pan gold deposits from the underlying soil. This manual method of gold acquisition would provide the greatest return on investment for the business. The Company, depending on its land lease, may engage in sluicing/dredging if the land is known to have a significant amount of gold that is buried deep within the ground. Mr. Doe is also sourcing the necessary equipment so that the business can immediately begin its operations once the land lease has been acquired. The gold mining facility will also have all of the necessary chemical treatment and smelting equipment to allow the business to shape its collected gold into 1 kilogram bars for resale to the open market.

4.0 Strategic and Market Analysis

4.1 Economic Outlook

This section of the analysis will detail the economic climate, the gold mining industry, the customer profile, and the competition that the business will face as it progresses through its business operations. Currently, the economic market condition in the United States is moderate. The meltdown of the sub prime mortgage market coupled with increasing gas prices has led many people to believe that the US is on the cusp of a double dip economic recession. This slowdown in the economy has also greatly impacted real estate sales, which has halted to historical lows. However, gold mines operate with great economic stability as it is a product that is in continued demand. This is especially true in today’s economic environment as inflation has pushed the per ounce price of gold up substantially over the last 12 months. As long as commodity prices continue to rise, the business should have no issues producing a continuous profit from its gold mining operations.

4.2 Industry Analysis

Mining, beneficiating, and quarrying of gold is a $3 billion dollar a year business in the United States. Within the industry there are over 200 domestic providers of gold mining operations that operate within 20 states. The industry employs more than 10,000 people and provides adjusted annualized payrolls in excess of $500,000,000 dollars. The growth rate of this industry has been tremendous with the recent resurgence of inflation. The prices of gold (and other precious metals) have increased substantially as investors have sought the safe haven of commodities in lieu of the falling value of the dollar. Additionally, the greater wealth of developing nations has pushed the per ounce price of gold passed $800. This demand is expected to remain strong in the face of inflationary pressures.

4.3 Customer Profile

As Gold Mine, Inc. intends to sell its gold directly to wholesalers in the open market, is it difficult to determine the “average customer” of the business. Any company engaged in the buying and selling of gold is a potential buyer for the Company.

4.4 Competitive Analysis

This is one of the sections of the business plan that you must write completely on your own. The key to writing a strong competitive analysis is that you do your research on the local competition. Find out who your competitors are by searching online directories and searching in your local Yellow Pages. If there are a number of competitors in the same industry (meaning that it is not feasible to describe each one) then showcase the number of businesses that compete with you, and why your business will provide customers with service/products that are of better quality or less expensive than your competition.

5.0 Marketing Plan

The marketing campaigns required by Gold Mine are minimal as the business will sell its mined gold directly to the open market. As such, it is imperative that any marketing expenditures undertaken by the Company focus on developing relationships with gold wholesalers and property management firms that will seek and lease land to the business.

5.1 Marketing Objectives

• Develop relationships with specialty property management firms that will lease land to the business for its gold mining operations.

• Establish relationships with gold wholesalers within the targeted market.

5.2 Marketing Strategies

Prior to the onset of operations, Mr. Doe will develop ongoing purchase order relationships (based on market prices) with national and international gold dealers and wholesalers that will acquire the Company’s inventory of mined gold. In order to complete this aspect of Gold Mine marketing operations, Mr. Doe will directly contact well known gold wholesalers. As these buyers are constantly searching for new gold sources, developing these relationships will not be an issue. Additionally, the Company will make its presence known among real estate agents and property management firms that specialize in the sale and placement of leases for land that is known to carry precious metal deposits. Much like with the gold wholesalers/dealers, Mr. Doe will directly contact these companies in order to develop working relationships.

5.3 Pricing

In this section, describe the pricing of your services and products. You should provide as much information as possible about your pricing as possible in this section. However, if you have hundreds of items, condense your product list categorically. This section of the business plan should not span more than 1 page.

6.0 Organizational Plan and Personnel Summary

6.1 Corporate Organization

6.2 Organizational Budget

6.3 Management Biographies

In this section of the business plan, you should write a two to four paragraph biography about your work experience, your education, and your skill set. For each owner or key employee, you should provide a brief biography in this section.

7.0 Financial Plan

7.1 Underlying Assumptions

• The Founder will acquire $600,000 of equity funds to develop the business.

• Mr. Doe will sell a 40% equity interest in the business in exchange for the requisite capital sought in this business plan.

• Gold Mine, Inc. will have an annual revenue growth rate of 16% per year.

7.2 Sensitivity Analysis

In the event of an economic downturn, the business may have a decline in its revenues. In an economic recession, the demand for gold decreases as people will have less discretionary income. However, in today’s economic climate, inflation has become a serious concern, and investors have driven up the per ounce price of gold substantially as a safe investment to hedge against inflationary risks. As such, the business should have very few issues regarding top line income.
