What resources are you providing? Mining equipment and knowledge? They way it usually works is your team owns and operates the mine, possibly hiring a few locals, and that's about it except for some money flowing into the economy via food and housing purchases.

Maybe I'm missing something but does your thinking presumes "build it and they will come" ? when the reality is that most people aren't interested, trusting of it, especially when their main culture disregards it . Being a black sheep is for the few, but yes the black sheep exist everywhere and in every culture.

But IMO and based on tipping point theory, the only people anyone should be focused on helping are the black sheep, the few that already get it. From there critical mass builds and eventually tips the rest of them into following....since they will be following in all circumstances
