FAQ
Answers from our trade desk
The questions we hear most often from buyers, miners, investors and partners.
We operate verified supply chains with traceable origin, clear ownership records and standards that strengthen trust in every deal across Uganda and Africa.
We check transaction details, ownership background, documentation and counterpart credibility before any gold exchange begins, structured to reduce risk.
Sampling and lab testing provide reliable data on quality, composition and value, helping buyers and sellers make informed decisions based on verified results.
Assaying measures purity and composition; refinery tolling and doré purification transform raw material into cleaner, higher-value, market-ready output.
Single and joint custody, armed transport, wholesale and retail solutions are all designed to protect value and ensure smooth delivery across Africa.
