Finding Investors for a Business

AIDB-023181

Executive Summary

I’ve been doing geophysical exploration in Southern Africa for many decades. I was very fortunate to drill into a large, really high-grade ore deposit whilst drilling boreholes in northwestern Botswana. The deposit needs further exploration, and that requires exploration licenses. Licenses are granted to a registered company or partnership that includes a citizen of Botswana. I am not a national of Botswana. I will finance and complete all additional geophysical exploration, drilling, and analytical work to determine the economic potential. After the project has clearly shown it will be very economic, you might want to join me in mining the deposit. Please understand, you will not spend a cent until the exploration data shows that the deposit is very obviously economically viable. I have a very detailed Project Proposal with specific information on the location, extent, and method of mining the deposit, the value of the ore, and who will buy the minerals. I will send you all that information as soon as we have a company registered. The exploration licenses will be assigned to our newly formed LLC. Would you like me to send you a provisional agreement that could be part of the LLC and attach my resume? Please don’t hesitate to ask for more big picture information about the project. Best regards, Derik Howard BSc (HONS) WITS Exploration Geophysicist WhatsApp I will spend $30,000 immediately for additional exploration, and a partner needs to be able to show assets worth ~$100,000 max, to secure licenses for securing mineral rights.
