We’re building a Valuable Gold and Gemstones Mining, That benefiting All Stakeholders, Ensuring Safety for Every Worker

Our Founding Story

Thumbs Up Minerals was born in 2023 from a place of struggle and relentless hope. Our founder, Gilbert Abel, faced heartbreaking challenges in raising funds to test his life-saving innovations at his first startup, Noobites. Despite his unwavering dedication, the path was fraught with setbacks and despair. Determined to turn his pain into purpose, Gilbert envisioned a new kind of agency—one with a heart. He decided that 25% of every gemstone and gold mined in their mining licenses and sold by Thumbs Up Minerals would go directly towards Noobites Biotech to test scientific innovations and validate products that will help save lives.

In those dark moments, Thumbs Up Minerals emerged, driven by the belief that every business can be a force for good. Our team, a tapestry of creatively diverse, driven, and innovative individuals, came together with a shared mission: to support life-saving research and promote safe practices across various environments. Our journey is one of perseverance, compassion, and the relentless pursuit of a better world.
