Two practical structures built from real pilot thinking.

The current MinerLift Foundation concept is being developed around a cooperative model and a single-mine model with an added reserve security layer.

Small Mining Cooperative Model

Designed for groups of small-scale miners producing through a cooperative structure, where governance and administration are sensitive and transparent distribution is essential.

  • Framework MOU
  • Long-term offtake agreement
  • Open-book cost structure
  • Monthly reconciliation and settlement
  • Secure transport and custody SOP
  • Input support through the cooperative

Single-Mine Model

Designed for an individual mine that already produces and needs a stronger route to market, more structured implementation support, and better access to finance.

  • All core operating documents
  • Reserve security agreement based on industry-standard assessment
  • Structured repayment from production through offtake
  • Equipment lease support
  • Project insurance integration
  • Support for input and expansion finance access

What both models have in common

Ownership remains local

The mine or cooperative keeps ownership of the underlying operation.

Transparent deductions

All major costs are shown clearly and supported by documentary evidence.

Controlled offtake

Production moves through a structured channel that supports settlement discipline.

Secure custody

Transport, refining, storage, and sale are documented and controlled.

Finance visibility

Financiers can see a clearer repayment path through captured production flows.

Scalable implementation

The framework can be adapted for regional rollout across multiple producers and jurisdictions.
