Our Two Operational Pillars
Mining Operations
We target gold-rich deposits across Zambia’s Central and North-Western Provinces, operating under full licensing from Zambia’s Ministry of Mines with experienced local partnerships.
- Strategic phase-based development from prospecting to full-scale extraction
- On-site sample analysis capabilities
- Logistics hub currently under development
- Led by experienced mining professionals with deep local knowledge
Refinery Operations
Our joint venture refinery facility operates in partnership with Global Group Korea, delivering world-class purification capabilities with 500kg daily processing capacity.
- Production of 99.99% purity gold bullion
- Advanced Aqua Regia + Electrorefining processes (ISO 9001 certified)
- Services for in-house ore, toll refining, and strategic gold trading
- Direct export capabilities to international markets
Our Integrated Value Chain
CHATE Mining’s competitive advantage lies in our fully integrated approach. Unlike traditional operators who focus solely on extraction or processing, we manage the entire gold pipeline—from ground to market-ready bullion.
This vertical integration eliminates third-party dependencies, dramatically reducing costs whilst ensuring complete quality control and traceability. Our direct ore-to-refinery pipeline maintains continuous production flow, optimising operations and maximising margins at every stage.
“From discovery to delivery — we refine more than gold. We refine value.”
Our integrated business model creates significant efficiencies through vertical control of the entire production pipeline, allowing us to capture value at each stage from extraction to export-ready bullion.
