Mobile gold recovery & environmental restoration — Colombia
Kinetica Minera is building a mobile, chemical-free recovery platform that captures the fine gold left in mining waste — and puts it to work restoring land scarred by illegal mining.

Mission
Decades of mining left Colombia with two things: scarred land, and the gold still buried in it. We use one to repair the other.
Recovery by gravity alone. No chemical leaching, at any stage.
Process water is clarified and reused on site.
We reprocess material that has already been excavated and moved.
Restoration is a business line, not an afterthought.
[01] Material
Tailings are what conventional mining leaves: ridges of washed gravel, settled fines and standing water. The material is already mined — and the finest gold is still inside.
Ridges left by the first pass, already excavated and moved.
Where the lightest particles — and the finest gold — come to rest.
Since 2026, recovering it is a regulated activity in Colombia.
[02] Technology
Three tracked units travel to site as a convoy and run as one circuit. When a site is done, the circuit moves on — no fixed plant left behind.
Reclaims tailings and meters them up to the screen.
Washes the fines free and rejects the oversize.
Enhanced gravity holds back the fine gold. Self-powered.

[03] Process
Gold is about seven times denser than the sand around it. Our circuit uses that difference — and nothing more.
Previously processed material is fed into the circuit.
Oversize is screened out; fine fractions are washed free.
Enhanced gravity holds the dense gold while light fines pass on.
Gold is collected securely and sold through authorized channels.
[04] Restoration
Illegal mining has left open pits, spoil heaps and standing water across parts of Colombia. The residual gold in that ground helps fund the earthworks, water management and replanting the land needs.
Residual gold is recovered from disturbed ground and old tailings.
Pits are backfilled and spoil heaps regraded into stable ground.
Standing water is settled, clarified and managed.
The land is revegetated and prepared to return to use.
Colombia’s 2026 framework allows restoration plans to include mineral recovery.
An agreement is in place for a first restoration site.
The same gravity-only circuit. No cyanide. Water returned.
[05] Model
We operate across owned and partner titles, providing the equipment, the operating capability and the compliance. Value is shared under negotiated agreements.
Owned and partner titles supply material already on site.
Specialized equipment, operations and compliance.
Recovered gold is sold to authorized buyers.
[06] Outlook
The circuit is designed to scale by replication — more units, more sites, more land returned.
Deploy our first complete recovery circuit.
Add circuits in parallel to process more, faster.
Extend across owned and partner titles.
Bring recovery to legacy mining areas under restoration.
