Sustainable Way of Restoration and

Remediation of Mining Dumping Sites

and Sewerage Farms.

Organic Farming, Agroforestry Farming

and Community Development

In this beautiful planet.

Every single minute 34 people Every single day 50,000 people are dying in extreme poverty and hunger.

1/3 of world population

(Approximately 2 billion)

is still suffering

from poverty and hunger

Proposals and Philosophy■ Traditional Leaders Blessing! Legacy for Royal Families' and Chiefs/Khosi Families!

As a Company with, Environmental, Philosophical, Social Development targets and Self

Sustainable way of Living and Farming Project, renewable energy production, water

conservation and purification, Organic food and feedstock production, Livestock, Organic

protein growing (Maggots, Locust, Grasshoppers', Crickets, Daphnia and more), Zero waste.

We have offer for purchasing several Mining Companies, what is closed long time ago.

Property included: Land, Mines, Dumping Tails, Mineral Rights and permits can be renew for

all operations. One problem- with equity we be inherited obligations, Cleaning all dumping

sites, ground and underground water and rehabilitate dumping sites with Agroforestry

Plantations

Challenges■ High level of land, ground/underground water and air pollution

■ High input cost for cleaning dumping sites, ground and underground

water by old technologies and equipments

■ High input cost for after cleaning soil remediation on dumping sites,

ground and underground water, prevention of running out soil and sand fly

■ High cost of new technology and equipment

■ Limited excess for local and international Companies ■ Limited participations traditional leaders and local communities

Solution■Top of range technologies, new Era of Environmental approach in soil,

water and another substances (chemicals, crude oil, food, pharmaceutical

industry, oils and much more) extraction, cleaning and separation.

■ Reduction of equipment cost, what is make input cost much lover, time-

50% faster and cost of cleaning dumping sites, ground and underground

water more efficient, 99.8% purity

■ Agroforestry input cost, for after cleaning soil remediation, on dumping

sites, ground and underground water, vary case to case■ Full participations traditional leaders and local communities

Bonuses from Restoration & Rehabilitation with Agro Forestry

■ Social Development in deserted areas. Liquidation of Environmental and Health Hazard. Community involvement in utilization of this new possibilities

■ Possibility to be training in Company College/Training Centers.■ Environmentally friendly use of plants for feedstock supply for handcraft and

organic feedstock for animals and poultry, to derive the maximum incomefrom a limited portion of land with lowestpossible input cost

■ Agro forestry restore natural Flora and Fauna in area and provide shelter for indigenous birds, lizards and insects.

■ Creation jobs and small businesses, use materials from plantations■ And as a BONUSES: One Dumping Site clean, one Community and Country

have more clean environment! Clean Water, Clean Soil, Happy People! All properties and all recovered minerals belong to the Company, for further

Developments. Plus Carbon sequestering / Offset opportunities

.

Need Restoration & Rehabilitation

Restoration & Rehabilitation

Environmental Agro Forestry■ Must not be confused with commercial forests that take 5 to 10 years for

establish roots and 15 to 25 years for fully grooving and to provideincome.

■ Is not a mono culture, environmentallydegrading practice.■ Is a environmentally friendly use of companionplants and

natural feed supply to derive the maximum possible incomefrom a limited portion of land with lowestpossible input cost

■ Agro forestry restore natural Flora and Fauna in area. Return, with natural habitat

■ Creation, locally, jobs market and small businesses, use materials from plantations

■ Supply local market with handcraft products and food/feedstock

Selected plant species■ Bamboo■ Pinatta■ Moringa■ King Elephant Grass■ Jicama■ Algae (Micro and Macro)

Bamboo

Bamboo■ A naturalized clumping bamboo.

■ Non invasive as it does not produce seed

■ Root system penetrates only 500mm – 600mm. Soil stabilization

■ Culms 100mm to 120mm in diameter. Height from 9 to 45 meters ■ Produces 25 new shoots / year. Culm wet weight average 35kg■ 100 m/ton, minimum, Bio Mass per Ha

■ The fastest growing plant on this planet . Is a critical element in the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

■ A viable replacement for wood An enduring natural resource Versatile with a 105 day growth cycle■ A renewable resource for agro forestry production.

■ Carbon Sequestration. Bamboo sequesters around 4 times more CO2 than average timber and produces 35% more Oxygen.

BambooSome facts to consider about the greenness of bamboo would be:Bamboo is grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizersBamboo requires no irrigationBamboo rarely needs replantingBamboo grows rapidly and can be harvested in 3-5 yearsBamboo produces 35% more oxygen that an equivalent stand of treesBamboo is a critical element in the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphereBamboo is an excellent soil erosion inhibitorAdditionally, bamboo fabric is breathable, thermal regulating, wicks moisture better than polyester performance fabrics, will resist odour and is absorbent and fast drying keeping you dryer and more comfortable than any cotton or polyester fabrics. Is bamboo organically grown?Yes, our viscose from bamboo comes from bamboo that is Certified Organic and you can see our certifications and read about them on our website:https://www.bamboosa.com/bamboo.php?PID=65. The farm where the bamboo is grown is certified by the OCIA and the bamboo crops are certified by the USDA organic seal.

Agricultural uses

Giant king grass to pellet fuel, feedstock for animals and for insectsOne of the best soil stabilization plant for mining dumping tails water do not washed soil/sand down from dumping tails. Horizontal roots grooving. And the same time prevention from wind, sand storm (flying sand prevention)Giant king grass is also known as Elephant grass, Napier grass, and Uganda grass, which is the most popular planted biomass fuel in the tropical and subtropical regions where the sunshine can last more than 100 days per year and the rain volume can be more than 32 inches per year. The favorable growing conditions makes the growing of giant king grass very fast, which can be harvested in 195 days after planting for pellets production at 13 feet tall, and be harvested again every 120 days, and about 375 metric tons of fresh giant king grass biomass with the moisture content around 70% can be harvested per hectare within a year. Potentially, can produce biofuels, bio-based chemicals, feed/ aquaculture protein and biomaterials through fermentation or syngas

Moringa

Moringa

■ This tree is cultivated around the world for itsedible leafs and pods.

■ The tree is extremely drought tolerant■ The tree is fast growing and

reaches 6 metersin two years.■ The tree starts production 8

months afterestablishment.■ The tree is cut back to 1 meter

above groundevery winter and starts coppicing within 2weeks.

Pinnata

Pinnata

Pinnata Pinnata Seed / Pod ContentEach seed pod contains 6% oil - 94% seedcakeThe encased seed accounts for 45-95% of the weight of each seed pod (depending on variety and management)The seed itself consists of 40-50% lipid oil, and 40-60% seedcakeSeed cake The rich seed cake remaining after pressing the seed can be utilised as organic fertiliser, high protein animal stock feed, or biomass for heat and power generation.Plantation Prunings Mulched prunings from Pinnata can be utilised as organic fertiliser, high protein animal stock feed, or biomass for heat and power generation.

Pinnata Millettia Pinnata is a superior species of Pinnata. It is a “green oil” Bio-fuel producing tree that has a 10 meter taproot, thus creating a substantial carbon sink. The dense shade it provides slows the evaporation of surface water and its root structures promote nitrogen fixation, which moves nutrients from the air into the soil.  Pinnatta easily surpasses the plantation oil yield of other oil crops such as Palm and Jatropha, with high oil content of 40-50%. In addition, the rich seed cake remaining after pressing the seed can be utilized as organic fertilizer, high protein animal stock feed, or biomass for heat and power generation. Pinnata plantations can fix more carbon than is used in the production of fuel - creating a truly "carbon negative" solution. Pinnata trees at maturity regularly produce 800 - 1,000kgs of seed per tree per year.

Pinnata One Seed, Many Products

Vegetable oils can be used to supplement or even replace traditional petroleum fuels. The glycerol in the remaining 10 percent has a wide range of applications, including use in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. In fact, almost every step in the life cycle of pongamia seeds results in a safe and useful product: highly effective organic fertilizer. Widespread use of gas for cooking could also help curb the rampant deforestation. The toxic compounds that make pongamia seeds repellent to grazing livestock can be extracted to create a potent natural pesticide. There is also research indicating that M. pinnata can be used as a natural insecticide.[15]

Research has also been put into using the material leftover from the oil extraction as a feed supplement for cattle, sheep and poultry as this byproduct contains up to 30% protein. Other studies have shown some potential for biocidal activity against V. cholerae and E. coli, as well an anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive (reduction in sensitivity to painful stimuli) and antipyretic (reduction in fever) properties. While the oil and residue of the plant are used in many traditional remedies.[7] Juices from the plant, as well as the oil, are antiseptic and resistant to pests. The fruits and sprouts of P. pinnata were used in folk remedies for abdominal tumours in India, the seeds for keloid tumours in Sri Lanka and a powder derived from the plant for tumours in Vietnam. In Sanskritic India, seeds were used for skin aliments. Today, the oil is used as a liniment for rheumatism. Leaves are active against Micrococcus; their juice is used for cold, cough, diarrhoea, dyspepsia, flatulence, gonorrhoea and leprosy. Roots are used for cleaning gums, teeth and ulcers. Bark is used internally for bleeding piles. In the traditional systems, such as Ayurveda and Unani, the P. pinnata plant is used for anti-inflammatory, anti-plasmodial, anti-nonciceptive, anti-hyperglycaemics, anti-lipidoxidative, anti-diarrhoeal, anti-ulcer, anti-hyperammonic and antioxidant. Oil made from the seeds, known as pongamia oil, is an important asset of this tree and has been used as lamp oil, in soap making, and as a lubricant for thousands of years.

Jicama

Plant description ■ Jicama is actually a legume, and it grows on

vines that may reach six meters in length. The vines tend to hug the ground, terminating in tubers that may grow to 22 kilograms in size, although the majority of jicama tubers sent to market are approximately 750 g- 2,5 kg in weight.■ Jicama sequesters approximately 52 tons of nitrogen / ha / season

Jicama■ Jicama is a winter crop, it develops the tubersin

the short days.■ This will allow for 33.000 plants per ha

andproduce 50 tons Jicama tubers / ha■ Jicama tubers can be eaten raw, cooked,

friedlike potato chips, mashed, milled into porridgeor made into sweet / chilli snacks.

■ The seed contains an oil that is a very potentinsect repellent that can be used on organicallygrow crops and for bio oil crude.

Selected plant speciesAlgae

Algae can produce up to 300 times more oil per acre than conventional crops, such as rapeseed, palms, soybeans, or jatropha. As algae have a harvesting cycle of 1–10 days, it permits several harvests in a very short time frame, a differing strategy to yearly crops). Algae can also be grown on land that is not suitable for other established crops, for instance, arid land, land with excessively saline soil, and drought-stricken land. This minimizes the issue of taking away pieces of land from the cultivation of food crops. Algae can grow 20 to 30 times faster than food crops.Energy productionBusiness possibility of using algae to make gasoline, diesel and other fuels. See Algae fuel. Other usesChlorella, particularly a transgenic strain which carries an extra mercury reductase gene, has been studied as an agent for environmental remediation due to its ability to reduce Hg2+ to the less toxic elemental mercury. Cultivated algae serve many other purposes, including bioplastic production, dyes and colorant production, non chemical feedstock production, and pharmaceutical ingredients.

PollinationPollination is the process by which pollen (male) in transferred from the ripe anther to the receptive stigma in a flower of the same species, thereby enabling fertilisation of the ovary (female) and the production of fruit and seeds (the reproduction of the plant). Only 10% of flowering plants are pollinated without animal assistance (i.e. self-pollinated, wind pollinated, or water pollinated). Our plantation of Moringa, Pinnata and Jicama need pollination to increase quantity of harvesting product and quality of products.Globally, honeybees are the most important pollinator of commercial pollinator-dependant crops, with at least 90% of these crops reliant on honeybee services.The following key points should be included in the plan:• Approximate date to move bees into the crop, or the time relative to a certain condition of bloom, and the approximate date on which bees are to be removed• Location of crop• Pattern of colony placement• Beekeeper will provide a specified number of colonies of a minimum standard• Grower will reimburse the beekeeper for any additional movement of colonies in, out, or around the crop• Grower will provide right of entry to the beekeeper for management of the bees while on the pollination site

Pollination

Estimated yields onONE Ha Plot

■ Algae 100 to 140 m.ton/ha■ Bamboo 80 to 120 ton/ha■ Pinnata 40 tons■ Moringa seeds 5 tons■ Moringa pods 24 tons■ Jicama 50 tons

Fast tracking newentrants in agriculture

■ It is not possible to establish large numbers oftraditional commercial farmers on the land withthe limited funding available

■ It will take years for new entrants to competewith established commercial farmers, if theyfollow traditional farming practice ofmonoculture

■ We have to think outside the box withoutcompromising food security

■ Develop Communal approaches, how to deal with feedstock for animals, feed lots for finishing, abattoir, food processing plants, storage facility, marketing of products (do not sale raw materials, only final products) and transportation to clients
