Flagship mechanised gold mining at the Busia concession.
Burlcore Mining's flagship medium-scale concession sits within the Lake Victoria Green Belt in Busia, Eastern Uganda - a proven, high-yield auriferous geology operated with disciplined asset management.
Flagship Mechanised Mining at the Busia Concession
High-Yield Gold Production Grounded in Geological Discipline
Burlcore Mining operates a premier, medium-scale gold mining concession in the Busia District of Eastern Uganda. Situated squarely within the Lake Victoria Green Belt - one of Africa's most prolific and proven precious-metals geologies - our operations stand out through disciplined asset management and mechanised infrastructure.
Unlike surrounding artisanal setups, Burlcore leverages year-round dry-season operational capabilities, robust grid-plus-diesel power redundancy, and continuous concession expansion to extract and recover high-purity gold safely and predictably.
Every process is documented and repeatable. From geological mapping and controlled drilling through to gravity concentration and formal doré handover, the operation is built to institutional standards from day one.
What this looks like in practice.
Purpose-selected earth-moving fleet and gravity recovery circuits designed for medium-scale throughput.
Dry-season operational planning and drainage design keep production running through Uganda's climate cycles.
Grid supply reinforced by on-site diesel generation to eliminate unplanned downtime.
Controlled mapping, sampling and grade control before every phase of expansion.
Structured programme of adjacent licence work within the wider Green Belt corridor.
Documented SOPs from pit face to formal handover, audited internally on a rolling basis.

Rooted in Busia,
refined for the world.
Every ounce we recover is the product of disciplined work, formal compliance, and deep respect for the land and the communities that make it possible.
