Delivering Gold from Africa to the World Since 2015
AFRICA GOLD has maintained continuous gold export operations from African producing regions to international refineries since its founding in South Africa in 2015. This sustained execution—across regulatory transitions, currency fluctuations, and evolving compliance standards—demonstrates operational resilience rather than theoretical capability. The company’s decade of documented shipments reflects practical expertise in transforming locally sourced material into refinery-ready consignments.
The Foundation: Permanent Operational Presence
From inception, AFRICA GOLD established field teams in producing regions rather than operating as remote brokers. This decision created infrastructure for direct miner verification, eliminating dependency on unverified intermediaries who compromise chain of custody. Field officers in Ghana’s Western North region, South Africa’s North West province, and South Sudan’s Equatoria states conduct on-site license checks before acquisition—ensuring only legally sourced material enters the supply chain.
Regulatory Navigation Through Evolution
African export frameworks have evolved significantly since 2015. Ghana’s PMMC expanded laboratory capacity and introduced digital permit tracking. South Africa’s SADPMR refined documentation protocols aligned with LBMA standards. South Sudan’s Ministry of Mining intensified licensing enforcement in artisanal sectors. AFRICA GOLD adapted to each transition without supply disruption—maintaining relationships with regulators while implementing updated verification procedures ahead of mandatory deadlines.
This institutional knowledge enables predictable execution: understanding PMMC processing cycles to avoid monthly backlogs, anticipating SADPMR inspection requirements at OR Tambo Airport, and navigating South Sudan’s dual ministry permit system with representatives present during physical verifications.
Consistent Documentation Across Jurisdictions
The company maintains uniform chain of custody standards regardless of origin country:
- GPS coordinates recorded during miner verification
- Tamper-evident seal photographs captured before transport
- Direct coordination with accredited laboratories to prevent sample substitution
- Government permit processing completed before buyer payment requests
This consistency allows buyers to source across Ghana, South Africa, and South Sudan through a single partner without re-evaluating documentation integrity for each shipment.

Established Trade Corridors
AFRICA GOLD has executed shipments along functioning air freight corridors:
- Ghana to United States via Kotoka International Airport to JFK
- South Sudan to UAE via Juba International Airport to Dubai
- South Africa to China via OR Tambo International Airport to Shanghai
These routes operate under documented protocols—not theoretical pathways. The company maintains relationships with airline cargo desks at origin airports and understands destination customs requirements, ensuring material clears both ends of the transaction.

United Kingdom Coordination Support
The London office, established to support European client relationships, provides regulatory intelligence on evolving requirements such as the EU Conflict Minerals Regulation. This forward-looking function ensures shipments destined for European refineries maintain compliance with emerging standards—demonstrating proactive risk management rather than reactive problem-solving.
Why Ten Years of Execution Matters
Longevity in African gold exports reflects sustained regulatory compliance—not market timing. Operators who cut corners on documentation face exclusion when enforcement intensifies. AFRICA GOLD’s continuous operation since 2015 demonstrates consistent adherence to PMMC, SADPMR, and Ministry of Mining requirements across multiple regulatory cycles.
This track record provides buyers with supply continuity assurance during market volatility—precisely when fragmented operators exit markets due to compliance gaps or margin compression.
A decade of execution distinguishes operational capability from promotional claims. AFRICA GOLD delivers documented African gold to global refineries through permanent field presence, regulatory expertise, and chain of custody integrity maintained since 2015.
