Financial assumptions.
The assumptions BYM plans against: what the equipment cost, what the sites are expected to produce, the gold price used, and what that implies for monthly revenue, costs and break-even. They are shown so that a conversation can start from the same numbers.
Planning assumptions, not results
The figures on this page are planning assumptions and projections prepared by BYM. They are not results and not forecasts. Financial statements and production reports are not published on this website; they are available on request. Actual outcomes depend on the gold price, grades, recoveries, operating conditions in the DRC and the availability of equipment and financing.
Key assumptions
The base case.
- Capital expenditure (CAPEX)
- US$1,060,600
- Equipment and site set-up · planning figure
- Target output — daily
- 400 g
- Gold, base case
- Target output — monthly
- 12,000 g
- Gold, base case
- Gold price assumption
- US$95,000 / kg
- Planning assumption
- Monthly revenue
- US$1,140,000
- Projection at target output and assumed price
- Monthly operating cost (OPEX)
- US$171,500
- Projection
- Monthly net benefit
- US$911,500
- Revenue less operating cost · projection
- Operating margin
- 80%
- Projection, base case
- Break-even output
- 302 g / day
- Daily output at which revenue covers operating cost
- Payback period
- 1.16 months
- CAPEX ÷ monthly net benefit · projection
- Annual ROI
- 1,032%
- Projection, base case
Scenarios
Three production cases.
| Scenario | Production / day | Monthly revenue | Monthly OPEX | Monthly net profit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low case | 200 g | US$570,000 | US$171,500 | US$341,500 |
| Base case | 400 g | US$1,140,000 | US$171,500 | US$911,500 |
| High case | 600 g | US$1,710,000 | US$171,500 | US$1,481,500 |
Gold price US$95,000 per kg in all cases. Projections prepared by BYM; not audited.
Investment thesis
Why BYM believes the model works.
- 01
Proven alluvial gold deposits across 4 contiguous licensed concessions
- 02
Exceptionally low CAPEX ($1.06M) relative to production potential ($13.7M annual revenue)
- 03
Operating margin of 80% with break-even at 60% of base case production
- 04
Payback period of 1.16 months under base case scenario
- 05
Structured governance framework attractive to institutional capital
- 06
Multiple exit pathways including offtake, equity, and production-linked returns
The underlying workings — cost build-up, sensitivities and the limitations of each assumption — are shared on request after an introduction.
