Gold Mines

We focus exclusively on real assets with near-term cash flow visibility. Typical use cases include:
 

• Working capital for active producing mines

• Bridge financing for assets 6–18 months from full production

• Equipment, processing, and throughput upgrades

• Short-term liquidity supported by gold deliveries or receivables

• Financial restructuring and operational enhancements

• Sizes: $1M – $20M USD

• Structures: Asset-backed, production-linked, or gold-secured

• Flexible: Multi-tranche funding tied to milestones and performance

• Repayment: Options include physical gold delivery (refined to ≥99.50% purity and vaulted securely)

Exploration-only or speculative projects are outside our mandate.

We are mine-aware lenders, not generic private credit providers. Our approach emphasizes:

​

• No equity dilution, no forced change of control, no ownership stake

• Non-dilutive capital structured to align with your mine's production economics

• Flexible repayment options, including production-linked schedules or physical gold delivery

• Integrated operational and financial advisory to support your success

• Long-term partnership mindset, we succeed when your mine succeeds

Where applicable, gold delivered under our arrangements is refined to ≥99.50% purity and secured through established vault partners (e.g., Brinks).

We do not take ownership. We do not become shareholders. We remain a financial and operational partner, providing capital, expertise, and enforcement only during the term of the facility. Once repaid, our involvement ends cleanly.

This structure creates strong alignment: you retain full control and long-term upside, while benefiting from disciplined support to increase output, improve cash flow, and scale sustainably. Our Latin American-born and raised team brings native fluency, cultural alignment, local relationships, and on-the-ground credibility, enabling effective supervision and partnership in ways global lenders often cannot achieve.

We apply Wall Street-level rigor to every deal: structured underwriting, enforceable covenants, real-time monitoring, and third-party verification, ensuring professionalism and reliability at every step.

Advisory services are designed to prepare your operation for capital and enhance performance. They can be engaged standalone or bundled with financing:

​

• Financial restructuring and capital strategy

• Project finance modeling

• Geology and technical reporting (NI 43-101 compliant)

• Coordination with independent technical experts

• Production optimization and operational readiness reviews

Additional tailored support as needed

C3 Bullion lends to and works with mining operations exclusively in the Americas, where legal enforceability, title clarity, and operational oversight can be verified and enforced.

​

Our primary focus jurisdictions include:

​​

• United States

• Canada

• Mexico

• Peru

• Colombia

• Brazil

• Ecuador

Selected opportunities outside these core jurisdictions are considered only on a case-by-case basis, and only where clear title, permitting, contractual enforceability, and physical delivery controls meet C3 Bullion’s system requirements.

​

No jurisdiction qualifies by geography alone. Engagement is conditioned on enforceability, auditability, and the ability to impose operational control.

​

Ideal for:

​

• Producing gold mines seeking optimization or liquidity

• Near-production projects needing reliable bridge capital

• Operators interested in a knowledgeable, ongoing financial partner

Not suited for:

​

• Early-stage or high-risk exploration ventures

• Promotional or speculative capital raises

• Areas with unresolved title, permitting, or significant political risk
