A MARBLE MINE PROJECT
IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
INTRODUCTIONThe owners of 36 hectares (89 acres) of property in the elevated area near the
capitalcity of Santo Domingo have a desire to sell the land and its mineral deposits
comprisingof limestone. The new buyer of the property, plans to harvest the
limestone shale and marble for commercial and residential use within the Dominican
Republic, as well as North, Central, South America and parts of Europe.The property will be developed for the quarry mining of the deposits including an
alternate access road to and from the mine to avoid heavy traffic in the nearby towns.
Ultimately, the operation will be expanded to include manufacturing and retail distribution
of the products to the end users.This high quality marble is ideally situated for distribution in the Americas and for
manufacturing with the abundant, low cost labor available in the Dominican Republic; this
coupled with the proximity to the end user makes this project a very attractive investment.
In all the operations, we will be ecologically minded to preserve air, land and water quality
within the Dominican Republic. Our ultimate goal is to return the used land to its original
condition.
INTRODUCTION ContinuedThe volume of the marble utilized within the business plan was
obtained by using aprominent geologist’s survey which states that by simply taking a
single strip of marbleone meter thick over the base of the property, and extrapolating it
over to the recoverablevolume on the property.
The dollar value of the marble grew from the simple wholesale of the mined marble at
$1.7 billion dollars to the ultimate value of the marble when it is sold to the final user. Of
course, these values do incorporate many more operations including cutting, polishing,
marketing, and final fitting into the retail customer’s location.The largest part of the first stage investment is required to purchase
the property and itsmineral rights from the owners via its Broker and Mining
Corporation, who now has complete legal control ofthe sale. Once the sale has taken pace, a new mining entity was
formed which will head all operational parts of development, mining,manufacturing, marketing, sales, and procurement of the
aforementioned mineraldeposits.
CORPRATE AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The world market for dimensional natural stone at the retail level has been valued at 60
billion US Dollars per year, as offered by the Floor Covering Weekly. And, most
importantly, it is currently growing at a rate of 20% per year. Since a large percentage of
the natural stone being used in the United States and the Dominican Republic comes
from Europe, the simple geographic location of a marble quarry in the Dominican
Republic becomes obviously attractive.There are a number of marble and granite mines excavating the
mineral deposits in theDominican Republic, however very little is currently being exported
as there is a greatdomestic demand for limestone deposits, specially the developing
tourism areas of theDominican Republic. Currently the demand is so great that these
targeted areas are stillimporting a great amount of limestone. We will attack the domestic
market as well as theinternational export market.
Another attractive feature is the relatively low labor rates for an intelligent and industrious
labor force. For this reason and others, we plan to proceed beyond the quarry extraction
of the stone. Especially for the market in the Dominican Republic and the Americas, we
plan to cut, polish, and manufacture our own selection of colors for direct installation. The
rapidly growing tourist economy in the Dominican Republic is hungry for the service. We
will also set up independent retail and distribution centers in the Dominican Republic and
the Americas
CORPRATE AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ContinuedWe also have every intention of developing the property and the
mining with completeconsideration for the ecology, the local economy, and the welfare of the
residents whomight be affected by the operation. For this reason, we will spend all
the time and effortwhich is required to insure that every step we take ... keeps the above
parameters in theforefront of our minds.
The main seaport of Hiana is located 20 minutes away and accesses to export
governmental channels have been already established. We will be able to fill container
loads with ease and have them onsite and ready to ship the within the hour of being
sealed. The location of the operation and the near proximity of the Caribbean maritime
lines are highly suited to serve the export of our products. Thus we will be able to serve
both the rapidly expanding tourism and residential markets in the Dominican Republic, as
well as the rest of the world.
MARBLE VALUESAs illustrated in the geologist’s report, the property includes 36
hectares (360,000 squaremeters or 89 acres) with a pair of mountains of marble to an
elevation of 80 metersabove grade. Our geologist, who may be the most eminent in the
country, estimates thatit is likely to be 60% exploitable for mining. In his first preliminary
study, he evaluated asingle strip of deposits one meter thick over the entire area of
360,000 square meters.Without any processing of the material, his estimate of the value of
that single strip ofmarble to be $36 Million U.S. Dollars. If we then include the
material about that first onemeter strip, our simple math; 80 meters high times 60% exploitable
times the value forthe one meter strip at the base, equals $1.728 billion U.S. Dollars.
And this has not even considered the value of the marble below grade, which
according to the geologist it would be safe to say that the deposits will go as deep
as another 80 meters below grade. Also, our relations with the adjacent landowners
will also give us the option to buy all the adjacent property, which might double the
reserves.
MINE DEVELOPMENT PLAN The development of the quarry mine adjacent to the city where
mining operations are taking place, will followconsiderable planning including more intensive geological testing,
transportation studiesto move the marble with the least amount of disruption to the local
traffic, ecologicalstudies to preserve the natural habitat including water conservation
and control, and afavorable impact on the residents in the entire region.
The impact on the residents will involve the input of new wealth into the community
resulting in more jobs, entrepreneurial opportunities, new and improved schooling for
both English and entrepreneurial training, tourist development relating to the quarry
mining operations and the hillside avocado farming, as well as the building of new
homes, corporate offices, and hotels.We envision a good two years of development before we will be a
commercially viableoperation. But during that period, the region around the mining site
will be undergoing a positivetransformation.
Some of the specific items within the development plan will include a CPM scheduling.
CPM SCHEDULINGAll of the development will be planned utilizing the latest concepts
involving CPM (Critical Path Management). This is the latest computer aided scheduling procedure used for
multimillion-dollar construction projects all over the world. It actively incorporates the
interrelationship between each activity such that a new activity may not begin until its
logical sequential activity is first completed. In addition to the interrelationships, each
activity has a time duration, responsibility control, and cost factors.As a result of this program, it is almost impossible to overlook a critical
activity in theschedule, and, because of the computer control, the entire schedule
may be instantlyupdated any time something in the schedule does not proceed as
planned.In accordance with the name of the scheduling method, it has the
ability to let theoperator know the single most “critical” item that needs to be looked at
any time during the project. In other words, it actually shows you a critical path through the whole schedule describing
which activities have the most importance toward the timely completion of the project ormulti-projects.
CPM SCHEDULING ContinuedFast Track Schedule and
Cash Flow Analysis of the First Year of OperationOur Engineers have developed a CPM Program; The CPM schedule
shows the completeplanning for the first year’s operation of the mine including all
resources of equipment,personnel and costs. The Cash Flow is projected on a weekly basis
for the first year.Toward the end of the year, we will be realizing almost one million
dollars profit eachmonth.
The schedule lists each activity and how that activity in related to the preceding and
succeeding activities. It also shows the cost involved in equipment and personnel for
each activity. And the costs are time related based upon the scheduled duration of the
activity.
ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING STUDIES Following a more extensive geological study, which will tell us how
best to extract themarble from the property, we are then concerned with how to
develop the property bothecologically and esthetically to maintain a healthy and economically
attractive region. Theengineering studies will be related to water control and
conservation, in addition to dustcontrol, and the most efficient transportation routes as the project
begins and progresses.The architectural interests include designs of corporate and
operational offices for theMining Corporation. In addition, we are planning to design and build
homesfor the experienced, operational management, which will have to be
brought in fromoutside the area. As the project develops, we will also develop some
tourist facilitiesincluding a hotel or motel to attract groups interested in mining and
agricultural ventures.We also want a comfortable location for international professionals
and buyers of themarble to stay as our market develops.
DOING BUSINESS IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLICThe Dominican Republic is a country that offers multi-fold
opportunities to attractbusinesses and foreign investments.
Geographically the country is located in a considerably very good strategic position which
offers an easy access to the markets of the United States, Latin America, the Caribbean
and Europe. Maritime lines leading from South America towards Europe run very close to
the country and thus giving easy access. Its economy grows every day and it also
supports the current process of modernization which is reinforced with an aggressive
effort to promote the liberation of commerce and economic integration, along with the
predominant atmosphere of a stable government and democratic consolidation, has
made the Dominican Republic an ideal option for companies and individuals of any
nationality that want to expand its investments growth.The current stage of stability of the Dominican economy is the result
of the experience ofthe period that started in 1987 and continues through today, where
the fiscal deficit, themonetary policy have a reality relationship to the current
macroeconomics, where there isno longer disappearing of capital and the distrust of the official
policy of the economy,where there is no longer a very strong inflation crisis, which caused
an economic,financial and social crisis.
DOING BUSINESS IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC Continued
The United States and much of the European Union have a vested interests in the
economic well being of the Dominican Republic. Laws have been created and are being
enforced by domestic and international entities to protect and promote foreign
investments and thus creating safe heaven to conduct international business.
President Fernandez, a US educated attorney and the Dominican Congress have made a
pledge to keep all foreign business safe as if they were Dominican themselves. The US
Embassy keeps a Commercial Attache on the pulse of all US foreign nationals doing
business in the DR; as well as the American Chamber of Commerce who is in the
forefront of all economic development within the country.Former Presidents, Bill Clinton, George Bush Sr., currently have
vested interests in theDR. They both keep homes here as well.
THE OPPORTUNITY As a result of the geologist’s report it has indicated that there is $36
Million US dollars ofmarble on a single one meter thick strip across the property; the
geologist has stated thehe has under estimated the current value of the mined marble by ten
fold multiple to keepthe numbers at a workable scale.
The owners had originally asked for a selling price of $5 Million US dollars; however
Mr. Rolón is confident the owners will accept an offer of $1.5 Million. This sale will
conclude the owners participation and will relinquish all rights under the law for the
aforementioned property and they have assured that there is no liens whatsoever against
the property; this is already assured through a government certificate already includedwithin the Business Plan.
AMOUNT OF INVESTMENT:Stage One: $3 Million US Dollars
Stage Two: $10 Million US Dollars (in Escrow), (Investor keeps control)
THE OPPORTUNITY Continued
This two-stage investment opportunity is as follows:
First we are requiring that $3 Million US dollars be utilized to purchase the property and
establish a corporate entity. This amount will also be utilized as operational capital as
depicted in the operational chart in the Business Plan.Second, we are requiring that $10 Million US Dollars be kept in
Escrow at the control ofthe investor. This will consist of 0% risk to the total amount. This
will be utilized to createthe USD $100M needed as per our forecast.
ROI WILL BE AS FOLLOWS:
First stage ROI:• First in line as funding becomes available
• The USD $3M: A 30% return on investment preferable within a 12-monthperiod but
not to exceed 24 months.• All commissions, returns and costs due to the approved
intermediary,for all services rendered, will be covered by us in a
separate signed agreement.
Second Stage ROI:To further explain the second stage funding, we are requesting the
USD $10M,to be kept in escrow and in control of the investors; this amount will
serve as anapparent operational base for financing purposes and will be
returned in itsentirety as soon as funding is secured. This period will last no longer
than 12months. As a return on this investment we are prepared to offer a
5% returnannually of all profits acquired by the Mining Corporation after all
costing and expenses are settled through its mining operations; thisparticipation will NOT encompass any rights of ownership.
ROI WILL BE AS FOLLOWS: Continued Collateral:
The collateral is the property itself and the $1.7 billion dollars worth of marble therein.
In addition, all equipment bought for the mining operations, both new and used, will be
real collateral. As the mine is being developed, the value of the property will continually
increase.Currently the property has immediate profitability where slate shale
can be mined forimmediate sale, as there is a current market in the Dominican
Republic.
