Responsible sourcing
International buyers check this page first. So we wrote it like adults.
What we align to
OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas. Bank of Uganda AML expectations for precious-metals dealers. Uganda mining and export licensing through the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development / DGSM as applicable to our activity.
Replace the licence numbers in this paragraph with your issued dealer and export licences before you take large wires. A blank licence field is worse than a quiet site.
What we will not buy
Undocumented artisan lots. Metal with a story instead of a paper trail. Anything we reasonably suspect is linked to armed groups, child labour, or sanctioned persons. “A friend in Congo” is not a supply chain.
What counterparties receive
Chain-of-custody summary, assay, commercial invoice, and KYC mirror. Refinery partners may run their own due diligence — we expect that.
- Not claimed
- LBMA membership, RJC, or a central-bank mandate. When those exist, they will appear here with a certificate date.
- Sanctions
- We do not deal with persons or entities on UN, UK, EU, or OFAC lists.
- Cash
- No large cash settlement. See AML policy.
