All figures on this page are forward-looking projections grounded in GBFI's real-time on-the-ground field testing and observations in Liberia, and further benchmarked against industry-verified operational data from Aureus Mining Inc. and Liberty Mining Liberia, and current LBMA gold prices. These projections represent a single-plant, single-location deployment — the baseline unit of a scalable platform. Actual results may differ materially. Field observations and past industry results do not guarantee future outcomes.
Month 1 covers equipment deployment and site preparation. From Month 2 onward, the projected operation generates $150,364/month gross profit per plant. After the 10% Community Infrastructure Levy — ring-fenced for local bridges, rural clinics, and community development — distributable net profit is $135,328/month per plant. With the full $250,000 capital deployed across two plants, projected distributable monthly net profit reaches $613,711. These are forward-looking projections; actual results may differ.

* Single plant figures. Full $250K deployment (2 plants) doubles revenue and distributable net profit from Month 2. The 10% Community Infrastructure Levy is applied to gross profit before investor distributions are calculated.
Projections assume 10% annual revenue growth driven by additional plant deployments across new locations within GBFI's network, plus conservative gold price appreciation. OPEX grows at 10% annually. The platform model means growth is not constrained by a single site — each new location adds a full revenue stream.

* Projections assume 10% annual revenue growth via new location deployments and 10% annual OPEX growth. Gold price held at $4,531/oz (conservative). ROI calculated on $250,000 initial capital per location. A 10% Community Infrastructure Levy is deducted from gross profit before investor distributions. All figures are pre-tax estimates. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
GBFI's financial model is not built on assumptions alone. Every key figure — processing rate, gold grade, operating cost, and payback period — is grounded in four independent layers of evidence: GBFI's own real-time field observations in Liberia, two publicly documented industry operators who have demonstrated comparable results in the same geological and regulatory environment, and the foundational geological record established by the U.S. Geological Survey's cooperative survey programme in Liberia.
Dr. Gordon Goetsch and the GBFI team have conducted direct on-the-ground geological assessments and field sampling across multiple alluvial sites in Liberia since 2013. The 2.0 g/ton base-case yield and 100 t/day processing capacity are consistent with GBFI's own field observations and site-specific data collected across Liberia's ~600 documented gold occurrences.
Aureus Mining operated Liberia's first commercial gold mine at the Bea Mountain licence (457 km², Grand Cape Mount County). Their NI 43-101 compliant technical report — filed on SEDAR and prepared in accordance with Canadian securities regulations — documented a reserve grading 3.1–3.3 g/t and annual production of ~120,000 oz/year from a 1.1 Mt/year processing plant. Operating cash costs were reported at US$632/oz.

View Report (MineDoc Archive) |SEDAR Filing NoticeLiberty International Mineral Corporation, the largest holder of mineral exploration territory in Liberia with 18 active gold projects, published an NI 43-101 compliant reconnaissance report documenting alluvial gold activity and geological intercepts across Liberian sites. Field assay results from the Bomi (Mandingo Hill) project recorded intercepts of up to 58.53 g/t Au, with trench averages consistent with the Leo Man Shield's known alluvial potential.

View Full Report (PDF)The U.S. Geological Survey conducted a systematic cooperative geological mapping programme of Liberia jointly with the Liberian Geological Survey (LGS), producing the definitive peer-reviewed geological record of the Leo Man Shield. The 2007 digital compilation (OFR 2007-1258) catalogues nearly 600 gold occurrences in Liberia, with alluvial placer deposits accounting for approximately 80% of the total — directly underpinning GBFI's site-selection intelligence network.

Note: Aureus Mining's New Liberty project is a large-scale hard-rock operation; it is referenced for geological context and Liberian regulatory precedent, not as a direct operational comparator. GBFI's alluvial model operates at a fundamentally lower capital and cost basis. Liberty International Mineral Corporation data is sourced from their publicly filed NI 43-101 reconnaissance report (2006).
