River Cess Class C Gold Initiative

A Carefully Planned Early-Stage Gold Project

Zion Earth Minerals LLC is participating in the early development of a proposed Class C gold project in the Cestos area of River Cess County in partnership with J's Enterprise, the Liberian project lead. The initiative is being organized around responsible planning, legal compliance, technical review and constructive engagement with local communities and project partners.

The present work includes land documentation, surveying, project organization, license-application preparation, technical assessment and the development of suitable partnerships for future exploration and small-scale mining activities.

J's Enterprise leads local project coordination and licensing preparation in Liberia. Zion Earth Minerals LLC supports international partnership development, responsible mineral trade and approved project coordination. Technical mining work, environmental assessment and regulated activities will be carried out with qualified professionals and remain subject to the approvals required by the Government of Liberia.

Field Observation & Site Familiarization

Ground Conditions Observed During the River Cess Field Visit

The project team conducted a field visit through forest access routes and previously disturbed working areas in the broader River Cess project location. The visit provided practical familiarity with the terrain, access conditions, exposed soil profiles, water-filled excavations, existing informal workings and the local labor environment.

These observations help the project partners identify the technical, environmental, safety, community and logistical questions that must be addressed before any properly licensed project implementation.

Establish Environmental Baselines

Document existing land disturbance, vegetation, water conditions, drainage, safety hazards and rehabilitation needs.

Complete Licensing Requirements

Prepare and submit the appropriate application and supporting materials through the Government of Liberia.

Formalize Community Engagement

Establish clear communication, local participation, grievance procedures and documented community responsibilities.

Implement with Monitoring

Begin only approved activities with safety procedures, reporting, financial controls, environmental monitoring and rehabilitation.

A successful project should protect people, respect the law, reduce avoidable harm and create lasting value beyond the mine site.

1

Legal Compliance

Project activities should proceed only under the proper approvals, licenses and regulatory requirements.

2

Environmental Care

Technical planning should address water, land disturbance, rehabilitation and responsible waste management.

3

Community Respect

Local communities should be treated with dignity and included in clear, honest and constructive engagement.

4

Transparent Partnerships

Roles, ownership, investment terms, reporting and responsibilities should be documented and understood.
