Funding progress & target

Entry Pool Beta is GoldPool's accessible tier, designed for first-time investors testing the platform with as little as $50. The pool is actively procuring gold from two GoldBod Tier 2-licensed ASM operators in the Tarkwa cluster and remains open for new investment until it reaches its 90% funding trigger.

Expected Return Range

Projected 10–13%

Entry Pool returns are modelled conservatively given the smaller procurement batch size and higher relative weighting of the $12/month vaulting fee against smaller individual holdings. Returns are net of the platform's 2% transaction fee.

Entry Pool Beta is a good fit for investors who want to experience the full GoldBod-to-redemption cycle before committing to a Standard or Premium tier pool.

Tarkwa ASM Cluster

Gold for this pool is procured from two GoldBod Tier 2-licensed artisanal small-scale mining operators in the Tarkwa concession area, Western Region — Ghana's most established ASM mining district.

As capital is raised, procurement is executed in tranches, with each batch weighed and sealed on-site before transport to a GoldBod-approved assay centre under chain-of-custody documentation.

Community & compliance

Entry Pool Sourcing Standard
GoldBod Tier 2 licence verified · PRC Group environmental audit baseline on file · MinCom MCAS concession ID verified · No deforestation within 500m of concession boundary · 1% of platform revenue contributed to the MIIF SSMIP training fund

Western Region's Tarkwa cluster supports thousands of ASM livelihoods; this pool channels investment directly to owner-operated suppliers rather than large extractive concessions.
