Gold mining investmentUpstream extraction equity
Invest in gold mining through BricketX — upstream extraction-equity exposure to operations at Shinyanga in Kenya's East African gold belt. Unlike paper gold or ETF claims, the mining vertical captures the deeper extraction-to-spot margin — buying ore at source-country cooperative cost and processing to investment-grade bullion. Approximately 12,000 tons of ore per cycle yields ~24kg of gold. Target 20–25% annual ROI. Operations run under SPV Mintrix Mining Ltd. Access via the 6 BricketX packages.
How to invest in gold mining through BricketX
Your capital enters BricketX through a package whose allocation includes mining. From the package it flows into SPV Mintrix Mining Ltd. and deploys into the Shinyanga extraction cycle — generating extraction-margin before flowing back as your 70% profit share.
Gold mining returns investment — from ore to bullion
Mining captures margin at every stage of the extraction process. Each step transforms raw ore into investment-grade bullion — and each step adds operational value.
Shinyanga Kenya gold mining — operational deep dive
Shinyanga sits within one of the world's most productive gold-mining regions — the broader East African gold belt that extends across Kenya, Tanzania, parts of Uganda and surrounding countries. The region has active mining heritage stretching back centuries, with modern artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) cooperative structures that allow capital-efficient operations at the source-country tier.
BricketX operations at Shinyanga work through ASM cooperatives — a structure that captures source-country pricing advantages while providing fair-trade economic participation to local extractors. This isn't large-scale industrial mining; it's source-tier extraction where the gap between extraction cost and DMCC Dubai exit price creates substantial operational margin per cycle.
The integration is critical to the return profile. Kenya gold mining investment alone would capture extraction-to-spot margin but expose investors to source-country market dynamics; the combined mining + trading model under one SPV means extracted gold reaches the most efficient global market (DMCC) without intermediary friction.

For investors specifically interested in mining (vs trading), the BricketX Gold package is the most mining-weighted option — 3-year tenure, 18–22% target annual ROI. Platinum, Premium and the Multi-Asset Fund include mining as one of five verticals. Minimum $50,000 across all packages.
Mining vs trading — different margins captured
BricketX's gold vertical operates through two operational routes — mining (this page) and trading (covered on the Gold investments page). Both run under the same SPV but capture different margins.
Both routes operate under SPV Mintrix Mining Ltd. Most BricketX packages blend mining + trading. Platinum, Premium and the Multi-Asset Fund get both routes plus other verticals. Gold package is the most mining-heavy.

Which package gives gold mining exposure?
All BricketX investment happens through one of 6 packages. Mining is operationally deployed across packages with different weightings. For mining-heavy exposure, the Gold package is the most mining-focused. Bronze and Silver focus on gold trading rather than mining. Minimum $50,000 across all packages.
Quick guide: For pure mining focus → Gold package (3yr, 18–22%). For balanced mining + other verticals → Platinum or Premium. For dynamic mining weighting → Multi-Asset Fund. Compare all packages →
East Africa mining investment — the regional context.
East Africa — covering Kenya, Tanzania, parts of Uganda — sits within one of the world's most productive gold regions. Active mining heritage stretches back centuries, with modern artisanal small-scale mining (ASM) cooperative structures providing capital-efficient access to source-country pricing.
Compared to large-scale Western mining equity, East Africa mining investment offers source-country pricing advantages (extraction cost vs spot), lower operational complexity at the cooperative tier, and proximity to the Dubai DMCC trading hub for efficient exit.
For investors seeking physical gold mining equity exposure rather than paper-claim products, the East African route through BricketX offers operational margin that listed mining equities and ETFs cannot replicate at this risk-return profile.
How gold mining investment protects capital
Mining operations carry specific risks — source-country regulation, extraction execution, gold price swings, transportation/security. BricketX addresses each through layered protection: SPV ring-fencing, physical asset backing at every extraction stage, integrated corridor structure and zero-leverage operations.
