A BRAND NEW APPROACH TO ARTISINAL MINING
Legitimizing and stabilizing artisanal and small-scale mining in Zambia
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are VEROCIOUS MINING AND MINERALS, LTD, a Zambian gold exploration and mining company,
located in the heart of Zambia.

We are a principled, ethical and highly motivated group of people with many years of experience in
mining who want to raise the floor for ethical treatment of miners, families, and community while
stabilizing and legitimizing the artisanal and small-scale gold mining business in Zambia.

During our feasibility studies, findings clearly indicate that mining remains Zambia’s top business, and
artisanal mines and small mining operations can add to Zambia’s mining sector and country revenues in
a more significant way than present.

We are committed to:

- Our People (safety, training, culture, good salaries and benefits for our workers)

- Sustainability (strong economic benefits and community development for Zambians)

The purpose of this document is to forge strong, strategic shareholder partnerships for funding Phase 1,
Mine 1, in order to mine this area to its potential. With initial funding we can begin the process after
which we believe profits from Mine 1 will let us grow the base of assets by acquiring other small and
artisanal mining operations in the local area.

There are new government policies that have come into place that make this an exceptional time to
invest in artisanal mining.

Artisanal and small-scale mining in the country and all over Africa is in a deplorable state. This is due to
illegal and unethical mining activities that extract value on the backs of a workforce that typically gets
pennies on the dollar for wages, under management conditions that are not responsible to the health
and wellbeing of people, communities, and lands.

The sector has tremendous value that can add to the economic development of the country, but has
been relatively underdeveloped, characterized by the use of inadequate mining and processing
methods.

The global gap in supply and demand keeps widening, giving to rise a high cost of purchase. Due to the
current economic situation and the growth in word demand, the mining industry is undergoing a period
of spectacular development. The current desire of the Zambian government to increase production at
mine sites and promote the creation of new mines, along with the development of experience and
managerial capabilities, the use of new industrial methods and equipment, and increased use of a skilled
workforce. Mining in Zambia is a great source of employment; hence, it is also our goal to help the

Community by employing Zambian youths. As we can also see, globally in 2022 and beyond, people are
also using gold as a hedge against inflation.

Artisanal small-scale mining is a low-tech, labour-intensive process. As such, our Phase 1 funding is
expected to go a long way with great value, as we would be using traditional and effective methods of
mining in combination with the right science and technology to provide maximum production at a low
cost. As we move forward in time, we see acquiring more technology to operate a number of small-scale
mines simultaneously while employing a greater number of Zambians.

A BRAND-NEW ZAMBIAN GOLD MINE


Verocious Mine 1 - Just getting started
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- 100 hectares ready for mining (negotiation with Chief of Lands and Licensing done)

- Potential growth acquisition of neighbouring artisanal mines

- Important infrastructure surrounding

- All within traditional lands where we have existing long-term relationships

- Rock and particulate testing done to just 2 metres, finding 3.12 grams gold per ton at this depth across
significant widths

A GATEWAY OF UNTAPPED EXPLORATION POTENTIAL
We are experts in mining, deeply knowledgeable about the area, with first-person access to local
decision-makers, artisanal miners, and new mining opportunities
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mine 1 has significant exploration potential with numerous targets supporting potential for more high-
grade mineralization at depth. Geology Department at University of Zambia who did the initial testing,
said we should expect to find 7-10 grams at 4-plus metres; we also think there is a strong likelihood to
strike a large gold vein under this as we believe we share a major vein with Kinsanshi Mine, which is in
proximity to us.

We have other targets as support future growth, in an area that has supported sustained mining since at
least 1930.

OUTLOOK
A decade of future profitable mining deposits under our feet
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We can begin mining immediately with a small investment of 140,000 USD for year 1. We are looking for
shareholder/partners to help us fund Phase 1 in exchange for a reasonable share of ownership.

We foresee mining Mine 1 immediately and down the road using a portion of proceeds to buy up other
artisanal mines and lands in what we call the ‘Gold and Gemstones Superhighway’. We are forecasting
acquiring other artisanal properties beginning at the end of 2024 with proceeds from Mine 1.

We see not only mining gold from Mine 1 initially, but also pulling up profitable metals and stones like
copper, cobalt, zinc and quartz, as these also exist in abundance.
