What we buy
Refined gold from accredited refineries, and unrefined gold in the forms it leaves a mine site in: alluvial gold dust, natural nuggets, dore bars and semi-refined gold. Every lot is tested before it is priced. We do not buy jewellery, coins or watches, and we do not sell gold to the public.
Four regions: North America (the USA and Canada), Southeast Asia, Southern Africa and Western Africa. We buy from licensed miners, mining cooperatives and authorised dealers only.
We are set up for commercial lots rather than single pieces. As a guide, we start at around one kilogram. Smaller parcels are considered where a supplier intends to build a regular relationship.
Pricing and testing
Every lot is verified before it is priced. We arrange assay testing and certification through accredited laboratories and refiners to confirm quality, composition and purity, and the resulting certificate is what both sides price against.
The international gold price at the moment of the transaction, multiplied by the certified purity, multiplied by the verified weight, less our stated margin. Every figure is shown to you in writing before anyone commits.
Yes, as an indication. Send the form, origin, approximate weight and any assay documentation you hold and we will give you an indicative range. The firm price is set once weight and purity are confirmed on arrival.
Compliance
Proof of lawful origin for the gold, your export permit or licence, a valid certificate of incorporation or trade licence, a registry document showing your ultimate beneficial owners, and passport copies of your directors. Gold without a documented chain of origin cannot be purchased.
Because responsible sourcing requires it. We follow OECD due diligence guidance on minerals from high-risk areas, alongside UAE precious metals regulations. It protects you as much as us, and it is what allows the metal to be refined and sold onward.
Yes, where the production is legal, licensed and documented. Artisanal and small-scale mining is a legitimate part of the supply chain in our sourcing regions. What we cannot accept is undocumented material or anything from a conflict-affected source.
Logistics and payment
Through insured, declared freight with a specialist precious metals carrier, exported under your permit and imported through Dubai customs. We will introduce you to carriers we work with and advise on the paperwork.
Electronically only, by SWIFT wire or local corporate bank transfer, once weight and assay are confirmed and you have accepted the written price. We make no cash payments and no payments to third parties.
The lot is returned to you at your cost, or held pending your instruction. You are never obliged to sell because the metal has arrived.
Still unsure
Ask before anything ships
A short call early on often saves a supplier weeks, particularly where an export permit does not cover what is actually being sent.
Tell us roughly what you have and where it is. We will tell you whether we can buy it, what documentation you will need, and how the assay is arranged. There is no obligation attached to asking.
