Our pricing philosophy
We price competitively because we source directly at scale in Goma (DRC) and aggregate production through long-standing partnerships. Fewer intermediaries and planned export schedules cut per-unit costs—so you get sharper quotes without cutting corners on verification or insurance.

How a shipment works (6 steps)
- Submit your details and requirements. Individuals and companies may send contact details, quantity, purity and the delivery address or nominated refinery.
- Accept the procedure and sign the offer. After acceptance, we send a Full Corporate Offer (FCO) to review and sign. The FCO and Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA) confirm price, purity, delivery and payment conditions.
- Pay the 10% deposit. Orders of 5 kg and above require a deposit before shipment. It forms part of the purchase price and is credited against the final amount due.
- Documentation and transportation. Once the deposit is received, we coordinate export documentation and transportation to the agreed refinery or delivery address. Relevant documents include the assay report, Certificate of Origin, export permit and shipping details.
- Receive and test the gold. For refinery deliveries, the nominated refinery confirms final weight and purity. Testing and acceptance at a client address are agreed in the FCO and SPA.
- Settle the balance. Pay the remaining amount after deducting the deposit, based on the agreed price and confirmed weight and purity. For refinery deliveries, final payment is due within 24 hours of assay confirmation. Address-delivery payment timing is stated in the FCO and SPA. Ownership transfers after final payment is received.
Testing purchases and payment methods
Testing purchases from 100 g to 4 kg are available in 23K or 24K. Price, payment and delivery terms are confirmed separately before ordering.
Accepted payment methods: SWIFT bank wire, USDT on TRC20 or ERC20, and Bitcoin (BTC). Instructions are provided on the invoice or in the signed agreement.
The signed FCO and executed SPA set out shipment terms, cost responsibilities and purchase conditions. The SPA governs if any terms differ from this summary.
