Reviving History.
Powering the Future.
we are unlocking the full potential of Kenya’s mineral-rich legacy through responsible, community-driven mining innovation.
Current Projects
The Copperhill Project
Our flagship initiative, the Copperhill Project, is a high-impact tailings reprocessing operation located in Migori County-an area steeped in over a century of gold mining history.
The Copperhill Project sits on the Migori Archaean Greenstone Belt (MGB), part of the renowned Tanzanian Craton-a geological formation home to some of Africa’s richest gold deposits. Once the site of the historic Macalder Mines, today it offers a rare opportunity: 1.2 million metric tonnes of gold tailings containing trace minerals including copper and silver, all accessible through sustainable surface-level reprocessing.
The Copperhill Project
A Smarter Approach to Mining
At Sidco Mining, we’ve revolutionized mineral extraction through our innovative tailings reprocessing approach. While traditional mining operations require years of exploration, extensive drilling, and disruptive blasting, our Copperhill Project takes a fundamentally different path.
This smarter approach positions Sidco Mining as a forward-thinking operation that respects both environmental stewardship and economic opportunity, making the Copperhill Project an attractive investment in Kenya’s mining future.
Historical Tailings, Modern Results
Instead of traditional shaft mining, Copperhill focuses on processing historical tailings. This means faster setup, lower environmental impact, and quicker returns. Independent assessments indicate average yields of 3 grams per ton of gold, with strong indications of additional recoverable metals.
Why Tailings Reprocessing Makes Sense
Immediate Resource Access: Instead of searching for new deposits, we’re extracting value from the 1.2 million metric tonnes of gold tailings already present at the historic Macalder Mines site. These materials have been sitting on the surface for over a century, waiting for modern technology to unlock their potential.
Proven Mineral Content: Independent assessments confirm average yields of 3 grams per ton of gold, with additional recoverable copper and silver. Unlike speculative exploration projects, we know exactly what’s there and how much it’s worth.
Accelerated Timeline: Traditional shaft mining can take 5-10 years from discovery to production. Our surface-level reprocessing operation dramatically reduces this timeline, enabling faster setup and quicker returns for investors and the community.
