About Us

HOW WE ARE

Sterile mining is a mining company with expertise in gemstones extraction.

We have a global minerals laboratory network that services clients wherever they are based with mineral laboratories located in key mine regions and location testing services.

OUR HISTORY

Sterile mining began in 1985, to provide factual information on mining, and gemstones processing industries. The plethora of information on the internet was predominantly inaccurate, anti-mining rhetoric.

We attempted to provide “fair and balanced” information based upon facts, not hearsay from the uninformed. In 39 years, we have accumulated a large quantity of information on various aspects of mining, and specifically on the mineral processing and metallurgical aspects of recovering valuable minerals from gemstones. It is difficult to do this, without devoting a fair amount of space to the equipment involved, so we have much information on equipment used to accomplish various process tasks in recovering the minerals desired from the uncut raw (gemstones). In addition, several sections were started to feature news and commentary about various activities that influence mining activities and present some financial information as to the projected markets and direction for the commodities of gold, silver and copper, to name a few.

This section has become very popular, generating about a million readers a year. During the past 39 years, we have received many comments about the site, 99% of them favorable, and from individuals ranging from CEOs of mining companies, electric utility operators, companies that use the products of mining, investors, prospectors, researchers in mining, educational professionals, mining students, those working at mines and those simply interested in the mining process. We pride ourselves on the accuracy of our information and will go out on a limb on controversial subjects, to state factual based opinions on various matters that affect mining segments and mining as a whole. We do not sell any products on the website, although we get numerous inquiries for equipment and services from virtually every country on earth, with the bulk coming from countries where mining is conducted, or countries that have a requirement for resources. We will advertise reputable companies providing equipment services to the mining industry.

Over the years millions of people have read content on this site and many have sent email telling us how informative it was, or how much they enjoyed it. We hope to continue this effort into the future, and if any have any comments feel free to send them along using the Contact button at the bottom of the page. We enjoy hearing from our users. Now that there is one company contemplating mining in space (asteroids), perhaps we will one day have a section devoted to that endeavor, but that is probably well in the future. We are always looking for suitable new content, so if you have something that may interest our audience, let us know and perhaps we could publish it on the site. We are located at Longwood Dr. Bethesda, MD. 20817 USA and have electronic voice mail system, so if you call, just leave a message. The majority of people send email, using the contact button at the bottom of the page.

David Levin as CEO of Sterile Minning has taken the company from strength to strength. As CEO, my responsibilities include,but not limited to leading an effective and cohesive management team, setting the tone for the Corporation, enhancing company value, advancing the interests of the Corporation, demonstrating high ethical standards and fairness, and executing the strategic vision of the Corporation.

To say that Sterile Mining under David Levin as CEO has been transformative for our business is an understatement. It has been a couple of bountiful years for Sterile Mining as we evolved from a modest-sized exploration company, into a globally significant diamond and gold producer. Sterile Mining is now a leading end-to-end diamond and gold exploration company.

As CEO, I must also provide overall direction and leadership for the company, making major corporate decisions, serving as the public face of the company, managing the company’s finances, overseeing the work of other executives and the management of the company’s employees, and focusing on the company’s overall growth in the short, medium and long term.

As a growing company, we are always on the lookout for potential investor(s) who will reap their ROI in the shortest possible time. This we promise.
