Uniting geological science with clean extraction methods to protect our earth's resources.
Gold extraction is a science of details. We combine geological modeling with clean engineering to locate, recover, and refine ore with minimal earth disruption.
We believe in full transparency of our operations. Modern gold mining is no longer about brute excavation; it is about high-resolution core analytics and advanced gravity recovery. By detailing our steps, we show our partners, investors, and local communities exactly how we safeguard nature while generating economic value.

We offer a comprehensive suite of mine services, ranging from ore buying from vetted 3rd party operators, exploration, technical advisory and capacity support, equipment provision up to full end-to-end mine site management for our JV partners.
By building long term relationships, we drive the adoption of improved mining practices, enabling partners to pivot away from mercury based processing and driving productivity and profitability for our partners.
We transfer the ore to our industrial processing facilities where the gold is safely extracted
Industrial "Carbon in Pulp" processing works in several steps. First, the gold is dissolved out of the ore using a caustic solution. Once in solution, gold is captured using ultraporous activated carbon. At this point, "loaded carbon" is placed in an elution cell where the gold is liberated and electroplated onto a collection medium.
AURUM NOVA exports and sells gold produced directly to reputable buyers around the world
Our social objectives run parallel to those of the Tanzanian government, allowing us to acquire the necessary permits & licenses to mine, process and export gold. We work with trusted buyers internationally, and provide documentation that the gold is mercury-free and conflict-free.
By deploying modern CIP extraction and direct refining, Aurum Nova operates a transparent, 7-stage closed-loop process from raw ore to refined gold doré bars.
Ore is crushed into smaller pieces.
Crushed ore is ground into fine particles.
Ground ore is mixed with cyanide solution to dissolve the gold.
Activated carbon captures the dissolved gold from the slurry.
Gold is stripped from the loaded carbon.
Recovered gold is melted and refined.
Gold doré bars are produced for further refining or sale.
Our founding team, advisors, and partners include native Tanzanians and community leaders who are respected and trusted by miners.
Together we develop traditional mines in partnership with local stakeholders, using our industrial facilities to process the ore of neighboring artisanal miners.
