Mine to market
From the pit to the port.
Seven steps, every one documented. See how minerals are found, mined, processed, tested and shipped.
Our view
In this market the paperwork is as valuable as the mineral. Every parcel we trade carries its record with it — origin, assay, custody and settlement — so buyers can rely on what they receive.

02 — VERIFY
Independent assay
Weight, purity and grade are confirmed by accredited laboratories and calibrated scales. The numbers on the certificate are the numbers we trade on.
3
03 — SECURE
Chain of custody
Sealed, documented and insured from the moment a parcel is accepted. Each hand-over is recorded, so custody is never a matter of trust alone.

04 — EXPORT
Permits & logistics
We prepare export permits, certificates of origin and shipping documents, and work with specialist secure-logistics partners to the destination of your choice.
5
05 — SETTLE
Transparent settlement
Pricing is agreed against a stated benchmark and settled through regulated banking channels, with a full document pack for your records and auditors.
In the field
The people behind the minerals.
Across Africa, millions of artisanal and small-scale miners produce gold and gemstones by hand. Buying from licensed producers keeps their work legal, traceable and fairly paid.
Principles
What holdsthe structuretogether.
A helix keeps its shape while it moves forward. These four commitments do the same for us, trade after trade.
- I
Provenance first
We trade only what we can trace. Origin documents, licences and assay results travel with every parcel, and buyers see them before they commit.
- II
Numbers you can audit
Weight, grade and price are stated against independent certificates and a named benchmark. No rounding in our favour, no figures without a source.
- III
Compliance by design
Counterparty checks, sanctions screening and export licensing are part of the workflow, not an afterthought. If the paperwork isn't right, the trade waits.
- IV
Discretion
Commercial terms, volumes and counterparties stay confidential. We share information on a need-to-know basis and keep records secure.
