A once in a lifetime AROB Gold opportunity
The alluvial gold clay-pit operation near Arawa, Bougainville - a landowner joint venture combining proven mineral heritage, an active deposit, and disciplined capital. This confidential Information Memorandum is offered to a limited group of sophisticated investors.
The proposition
Why this project stands apart
A rare combination of proven geology, an active deposit, and a legitimate landowner partnership.
Landowner joint venture
A 49%-51% partnership with customary landowners and the Paramount Chief near Arawa - built on local legitimacy and benefit-sharing.
Proven, working deposit
A ~120-acre sedimentary alluvial clay pan already producing gold by hand. Field assays return roughly 100-112 grams of gold per tonne.
Modest capital to production
A modest spend on equipment takes the operation from hand-dug pits to a plant treating ~5 tonnes of clay per day.
Responsible by design
Settlement ponds and non-toxic flocculants; washed clay becomes a brick & pottery by-product for a local cottage industry.
A province where the rocks have already paid
Bougainville's historic Panguna mine - a separate, hard-rock copper-gold operation - was among the world's largest, generating close to 44% of the region's exports at its peak. Our clay-pit is a distinct, independent alluvial gold project near Arawa; we reference Panguna only as proof this province hosts world-scale mineralisation.
An ancient river bed beneath the clay
The deposit sits in a watered valley near Arawa. Beneath metres of gold-bearing clay lies an ancient river bed - and gold, being heavy, tends to concentrate with depth.
Grassroots gold, institutional discipline
Villagers already recover gold by hand with shovels and sluices. Disciplined capital, proper plant and professional operating systems unlock the scale the orebody has already demonstrated.
A Steady Pipeline of Refined Gold at Preferred Pricing
Our direct joint venture and mining relationships provide us with a consistent flow of doré gold, which we refine and make available to approved buyers at promissory note discounts not available on the open market. This is a volume-limited, compliance-gated opportunity. Weekly kilogram allocations are reserved for those who complete our approval process. Note holders lend a principal sum today and are repaid at maturity in refined, hallmarked 999.9 bullion — receiving more gold than spot would buy. The uplift grows with the term, from 3% over 3 months to 12% over 12 months, with every note backed by physical gold from the operation.
Every ounce refined is vaulted and tokenised
All gold recovered from the operation is refined to 999.9 purity and held in certified, independently audited gold bullion storage. These allocated reserves back Bitz - a fully gold-backed stablecoin - giving every token a tangible, physical gold entitlement rather than a promise.
Certified bullion storage
Refined 999.9 bullion is held in secure, insured and independently audited vault facilities.
Backs the Bitz stablecoin
Vaulted reserves underpin Bitz, a gold-backed stablecoin - real metal behind every token.
Tangible, auditable value
Each Bitz represents an allocated entitlement to physical gold, not an unbacked IOU.
