Gold Mining Concession — Altai Region
Project Overview
A fully licensed gold mining operation in the Altai Republic, one of Russia’s most resource-rich regions. The concession covers 4,200 hectares with proven gold reserves of 12.4 tonnes and inferred resources of an additional 8 tonnes.
Investment Structure
The project is structured as a Joint Venture with the operating Russian entity holding the subsoil licence. Foreign capital enters via a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) registered in a friendly jurisdiction — UAE or Hong Kong — providing full legal protection and transparent dividend repatriation.
Financial Projections
Based on current gold prices and extraction cost estimates, the project delivers a target IRR of 28–35% over a 7-year horizon. Annual gold production is projected at 800–1,200 kg from Year 2 onwards.
Why Now
Current asset valuations in the Russian mining sector remain well below international comparables, creating an exceptional entry window for investors from the UAE, China and Asia ahead of the next price cycle.
