I’m sure to find qualified people for the job… I figure 50 pounds of Ore should jumpstart the operation… I came up with 6 ounces of Gold to the pound… Hopefully 300 ounces of Gold will be a good start…

Love the ambition, but if your using 6 oz per pound of ore, that math is wild unrealistic.
For planning, I’d base it on a head grade from a small lab fire assay and add recovery loss, moisture, slag, and refiner fees, or 300 oz' on paper could shrink fast.
Also keep ore in avoirdupois and gold in troy, get a clean chain of custody, and have the ADmin books set to track expected vs actual yields.
Can you get one independent assay first and lock that into the cost sheet before scaling :)
At my age, all that wealth doesn’t mean as much as it once did…. I used to do my own fire assays… Wait until you see what I came up with after putting what was on the metal plate back in fresh vinegar…. I really wasn’t expecting all those little white specks adding up to form what I saw…
