The Alliance Mining concept of Exploration and/or Mining Hubs centers around the development of compact mining operations that are more efficient and environmentally safer. We target mineral-rich regions hosting smaller, but numerous, higher-grade deposits. These deposits may then be delineated and mined collectively. Ore is sent to an central facility designed to process a variety of material using environmentally sound technologies and methods. Also known as “Micro Enviro Mining,” this system is far less intrusive than conventional mining practices.
Most mining camps established prior to the Second World War utilized the exploration and mining hub models. Prospectors and miners focused their operations in one region then collectively explored and mined the resources as discovered. This process provided immediate cash flows to expand and grow operations. The hub model diminished after the war as mining lost its significance within local economies. New industries developed and mining was left to the bigger established companies. Today, those companies have consolidated into huge mining concerns exploring and seeking massive ore deposits to sustain growth.
Today’s mining model, solidified over the past thirty years, has exploration companies looking for the next mother lode for the major mining companies. Meanwhile the majors have consolidated into huge mining concerns that demand bigger and bigger ore deposits to sustain growth. The massive mines leave thousands of smaller but potentially economic deposits untouched. The larger operations also have a much greater impact on the environment.
Our Model is to incorporate the latest technologies in exploration, mining and processing into the mining hub concept. This new structure can generate substantial cash flows that we can use to develop other mining hubs within North America. As our network of hubs grows, we can quickly accelerate growth and reach our objective of becoming a mid-tier mineral producer within ten years.
