Gold
Gold sits at the centre of our desk. We work with licensed producers and aggregators, and nothing moves until fineness and weight are independently confirmed.
In short
We buy gold from licensed mines, have it tested by a laboratory, and sell it with full paperwork.

Dig · Artisanal pit · Kailo, DR Congo
Digging by hand
Much of Africa's gold starts here: small crews digging gold-bearing soil and rock from shallow pits and shafts with hand tools. It is hard, skilled work that supports whole communities.
We buy only from licensed artisanal producers and cooperatives
