AFRICA GOLD’s model bridges the gap between Africa’s artisanal mining communities and global institutional buyers. Since 2015, the company has built a direct pipeline that begins with licensed small-scale miners in rural Ghana, South Africa, and South Sudan and ends with refinery-ready gold in Dubai, New York, and Shanghai. This is not a brokerage network but an integrated operation where AFRICA GOLD takes ownership at source, ensuring legal compliance, purity verification, and secure logistics at every stage.
The Local Foundation: Licensed Artisanal Miners
The model starts with people not deposits. AFRICA GOLD works only with miners who hold valid licenses from national authorities:
- Ghana: Minerals Commission registration
- South Africa: SADPMR-compliant cooperatives
- South Sudan: Dual ministry permits (Mining & Trade)
Field officers visit collection points weekly, verifying identities, recording GPS coordinates, and weighing material on calibrated mechanical scales. Payments are made in local currency, with handwritten receipts provided on the spot.
The Verification Layer: Accredited Testing
All material is sent to nationally accredited labs:
- Ghana: PMMC-approved facilities
- South Africa: SABS-registered labs
- South Sudan: ISO 17025 mobile units
Assay certificates include lab accreditation numbers, fineness (e.g., 999.9), weight, and authorized signatures—never generic templates.
The Global Handoff: Secure Export Corridors
Once verified, gold moves via licensed cash-in-transit to airports:
- Accra → New York (direct flights, 12 hours)
- Juba → Dubai (direct flights, 4 hours)
- Johannesburg → Shanghai (direct flights, 10 hours)
At airport cargo bays, customs officials inspect physical seals against handwritten export permits. AFRICA GOLD personnel oversee the handover to airline cargo teams, photographing seals one final time before release.
Why This Model Works
Brokers connect buyers to unknown sources. AFRICA GOLD is the source. By owning the process from miner handshake to refinery acceptance, the company eliminates blind spots, ensures compliance, and builds trust through consistency. For global buyers, this means gold that doesn’t just arrive—it arrives with proof.
Conclusion
From a 4-gram sample in rural Ghana to a 1-kilogram bar in a Dubai vault, AFRICA GOLD’s model turns fragmented artisanal output into structured, bankable supply. It is not about scale alone—but about integrity at every link. In a world hungry for verifiable physical assets, this direct, human-centered approach is Africa’s answer to global demand.
