One line, one month: where the money comes from, what is deducted, what remains.

From Operating Revenue to Payout

The full account, published: where the money comes from, what is deducted, what remains, and how it is allocated. Every figure follows one basis and can be re-checked line by line.

Why this is not a pooled scheme: the only source for payouts and redemption is operating surplus — line revenue less on-site operating cost. There is no pooled fund, no maturity mismatch, and no arrangement paying earlier participants from later participants’ money. No production means no revenue; no revenue means no payout accrual.

On the 120,000 USD surplus: it is after local labour, power, consumables and transport; it is before line equipment cost and depreciation. The 1,000,000 USD line investment is paid from raised proceeds and does not consume this surplus, so the full surplus is available for payout and redemption.

Payout ratio: the rate is fixed, the pool is not

Total investment1,000,000unit payout rate · lowTotal investment800,000unit payout rate · lowerTotal investment600,000unit payout rate · higherThe pool is fixed at 6.5% of revenue; the smaller the total, the larger the unit share.

Payout ratio moves inversely with raise size; the exact rate follows the executed agreement.

What is fixed is the rate, not the amount. Pool = that line’s total revenue × 6.5%, moving with output and gold price. Payout is not a fixed return, and three conditions apply: (1) the line reaches a full 1,000,000 USD; (2) revenue starts in month 6, with no accrual during the build; (3) revenue moves with price and output.

Large Individual Investor · Return Calculation

Single ticket 10,000 – 1,000,000 USD. Return has two parts: line distribution (accrued monthly) and maturity redemption (settled on the rights face value). The example below assumes 100,000 USD invested against a 1,000,000 USD raise.

Investment weight = subscription ÷ total raised from large individual investors — 10% in this example. Distribution moves with the raise size and actual revenue; it is not a fixed return.

Retail · Queue & Return Calculation

From 300U, on a queue basis. Meeting the queue or completing 3 valid referrals both unlock the 300-point redemption. What stays in your hand is a 2-year XAUg certificate.

Zero investment, hold the certificate: subscribe 300U → meet the queue → redeem 300U → principal fully recovered. What you end up holding is a 2-year XAUg rights certificate (face value 367.5U, redeemable for the equivalent in gold).

Holders who do not redeem points settle on the certificate face value at maturity. Point redemption is a one-off arrangement; once met, you exit the campaign and keep the rights certificate.
