You send me many letters asking me to write my business plan. It is
right that you are interested in my opinion. I worked in different
universities of the world. I communicate a lot online with different
people.
I can share my independent opinion about mining in the world.
Everywhere
is the same. They promise to do this work and go to the laboratory to
do experiments. Next on luck. It turns out or not.
There is no laboratory in the world has enough equipment and specialists to create new generation technologies. Problems are growing. Traditional types of ores are running out but for new ores there is no technology.
I did a little calculation. How much money is needed to create a modest modern ore benefication laboratory.
1. Buildings and facilities – 20 million dollars
2. Equipment and apparatus – 15 million dollars
3. Monthly expenses are more than 15-20 million dollars per month.
At full load,
this laboratory and design organization can perform work for a maximum of 2-3 million dollars per month.
This whole company of specialists from around the world will be able to
perform work only in a close-knit team: because each of them knows only
his own problem and does not control the whole situation in the
complex.
This means that every month you lose 18-12 million dollars per month (216-144 million dollars a year). You also spent another 35 million on equipment and building. Also You have to spend several million on staff training.
Let’s say that you went the traditional way. You invested hundreds of
billions of dollars (for 50-100 years). You have trained hundreds of
new specialists, opened new research institutes and laboratories, and
issued hundreds of scientific grants. And so, 50-100 years passed, but a
miracle did not happen. If you have not yet done this, then stop, and
do nothing.
Universities understand that they have no such opportunities, but they really want the money. They create a fairy tale for investors on paper. Next to the sign that this is a student’s educational laboratory of ore beneficiation, new ones will appear:
Innovation
Center, Technology Center, Technology Certification Center,
Certification Center of raw materials (ore, waste), Center for complex
processing of raw materials, Laboratory for waste processing and so on.
If earlier it was a backward laboratory with old
non-working equipment measuring 100 square meters, now, according to
documents, this is a certified scientific center measuring 200-600
square meters and with the latest stunning equipment worth millions
dollars.
They enter into their documents famous people who do not even know it. I learned many times that someone enrolled me in my project or scientific school without my consent and permission.
They draw up the necessary documents and begin to search for the simpleton. However, they have no idea what they will do.
I know many such examples. If a researcher can just “eat money” for
years without getting the expected final result, then he will do so
(Murphy’s Law). The increase in funding for research will only
exacerbate this situation.
I suggest that you bypass the path of traditional development.
I considered the costs and did not create a laboratory. I created “PETROVSKY´S MATRIX”.
For many years I have been working on creating a “Mineral
Benefication Information System”. I create it with my own money and am
the only copyright holder.
This system you need. I don’t need it.
I can create 5 competing technologies for any ore without any information system. It is very difficult and only I can do it. In fact, “Mineral Benefication Information System” will be my only competitor.
You need my “Mineral Benefication Information System” and “Petrovsky’s Matrix”.
No need to teach anyone. For this, you will need
centuries of hard work and the abandonment of all your stereotypes,
theories and delusions. I think that for you it is almost impossible in
the near future.
You need just to create a my smart system and let it work.
You do not need hundreds of specialists in the field of mining,
but only a few people to interact with the expert system”Mineral
Benefication Information System”. An independent expert system will
describe the real situation (only if it is correctly taught) and will
give you the accurate way of solving the problem.
Therefore, if we are talking about relatively small investments
(about USD 10-20 millions), then I can recommend you to invest in me,
this is the most reliable investment.
So, my business plan is an investment in me and under my name. Then we
decide what is best for you, we can determine in detail the larger
investments (under USD 1 billion and more).
You choose.
Sincerely, Ph.D. Natalia Petrovskaya, 12 November 2018
