The person will extract the gold and export it . 2. That the contract will be for 25 years and subject to renewal 3. That when the person comes both parties will now work out their conditions Which means that you will have to register a company here and get the mining license with the exporting license as well .

Dear Mr Koffi A purchase of gold would certainly be of interest to me on the unorthodox terms you outline, given the generosity of the terms (although after reading through things my wife wanted to wash he hands of the matter.) In order to facilitate this business however, I will need to have our standard contract of precious metal purchase drawn up by our solicitor Mr Michael Barrymore. He is based in Australia. Is this acceptable? Also I will need from you a standard assayer's report, or similar. Trusting we can shortly do some business. Regards HAMISH MACBETH |
