Terms of Engagement with Clients

Our extensive network across Africa, established through strong relationships with leading mines, mining communities, local miners, and refineries, ensures the efficient sourcing of gold metal in any desired quantity. For refineries, mining companies, and mining communities, we facilitate connections with reputable buyers, fostering an active market for their products. For buyers, we serve as a trusted sourcing partner, aligning procurement strategies with demand planning. Our approach guarantees product availability year-round while optimizing scalability, flexibility, and efficiency.

We provide comprehensive support across all aspects of supply chain management.

1. Identifying Reliable Sources

Based on defined volume requirements and quality standards, we assist clients in identifying mines, mining communities, or refineries in Africa capable of supplying gold dore bars in bulk quantities consistently. We facilitate discussions between buyers and suppliers, supporting price negotiations and terms of supply.

2. Contract Negotiation and Documentation

Once suppliers are identified, we guide clients through physical stock verification and validation of all necessary documentation. We assist in negotiating and finalizing Sale and Purchase Agreements (SPA) to ensure all terms are clear and mutually beneficial.

3. Continuous Monitoring and Supplier Engagement

Post-contract signing, we coordinate with suppliers to ensure timely shipment of monthly consignments. We verify that all required documents, including the Certificate of Origin, Certificate of Ownership, and customs documents, are in order before each shipment. By engaging closely with suppliers, we address supply chain challenges, ensuring consistent inventory supply.

4. Management and Support

Acting as our clients’ representative at the point of origin, we oversee all aspects of commodity movement until delivery at the client’s destination within agreed timelines.

• Mediation: We act as intermediaries in all discussions with sellers.
• Stock Verification: We arrange for smooth physical verification of stock at the seller’s location whenever required.
• Financial Assistance: When necessary, we facilitate financial support for sellers to arrange stock and meet duty requirements, ensuring scheduled shipments.
• Local Compliance: We manage local requirements on behalf of clients, including documentation, secure storage arrangements, and coordination of security measures.
• Logistics and Liaison: We ensure efficient logistics, customs clearance, tax compliance, insurance arrangements, and liaising with governmental agencies.

5. Risk Mitigation for Inventory Supply Stability

Given the complexities and uncertainties of the African region, we proactively monitor political, climatic, and other potential risks that may disrupt supply chains. If a contracted supplier is unable to fulfill commitments, we quickly identify alternative suppliers to ensure uninterrupted deliveries.

We uphold ethical and environmental standards throughout our sourcing processes, ensuring high levels of integrity and sustainability in our operations.
