Based on the years of experience of mining and trading, and based on detailed research on the at the time regional zones regulations in Asia, mainly China, The Middle East, mainly Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, UAE, European Union and of the Unites States, for this type of a business, UAE, Dubai, had become the mecca for gold importing, exporting, vaulting, trading, and thus, we setup so to be able to mirror operations in many African countries - from trading, smelting, mining and exporting to Dubai via company structures in different African countries, such as: DRC Congo, Uganda, Zambia, Tanzania, Kenya, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Ghana
With these arrangements we were able to comply with the regulations imposed on goldmining in Africa, banking and human resources.
However, I have found that managing and expanding these operations in Africa was taking a toll to my single parent family and decided to leave the company and be full time in Greece and pursue business opportunities based in Greece and the nearby region.
