Most of us are trying to be very honest with you. The old saying is, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." Sadly, this sounds too good to be true.
Have you ever heard of Salting a mine? A person has a shaft they want to sell, because it is not producing any more. So, they fill a few shot gun shells with some small pieces of gold, go into the shaft and fire away. This sprinkles the walls with gold. They sell the mine for a lot more than it is worth and then try to disappear before the new owner is wise. People have done this since the 1800's...or at least since there have been shotguns!
I wish you luck. I hope it is a great mine and you find the buyer you need. But remember this. It is not your mine and you want to act as an agent for the seller. If something goes wrong with the deal, the seller will come looking for you. Any seller worth his "salt", will do a lot of due dilligence. This means they will check things out throughly before they write a check. There are mine engineers who make a living checking such things out.
Good luck.
