Containerised plants, producing gold within months
We put small, mobile gravity and CIL plants on proven workings, pay licensed artisanal miners per gram recovered, and let real production prove the recoveries, grades and costs.
Our model
Small, mobile, redeployable plants
Instead of waiting years for a full feasibility study, we put a containerised plant on site and let real production tell us the recoveries, head grades and operating costs. Each unit can move to the next site if a deposit runs down.
Gravity
Jigs and shaking tables for coarse, free-milling gold. Lowest capex, fastest to deploy and minimal reagent use.
Small CIL / CIP
Carbon-in-leach for fine or partly refractory ore. Higher recovery, with careful reagent and water management.
Toll treatment
The plant pays ASM suppliers per gram delivered and keeps the processing spread. No exploration risk and no mine ownership required.
- Unit sizes
- 5 & 20 t/h
- Setup to first gold
- ~100 days
- Pilot capex, 5–10 t/h
- US$0.5–1.5Mvs US$15–30M+ for a fixed 100+ t/h plant
- Target payback
- 9–15 mo
- Target unlevered IRR
- 30–50%+
Figures are targets for a pilot on a well-diligenced site, not forecasts or guarantees. Actual results depend on grade, recovery, feedstock and costs on site.

For mine owners
Why owners partner with MMS
We bridge the gap between capital and field execution: international capital partners on one side, practical operators and processing equipment on the other.
Rapid execution
Containerised mobile plants skip multi-year feasibility delays, aiming for setup and first production within about 100 days.
A regional network
Equipment manufacturers, reagent suppliers and logistics partners across Southern and Central Africa.
Digital governance
Real-time WIRE production dashboards and strict metal-accounting controls stop stock leakage and give every partner an auditable record.
Capital protection
Every asset sits in its own SPV, funded in stage-gated tranches released only as operating targets are verified.
