One partner from licence to landed cargo.
Most buyers deal with three or four intermediaries between a mine and a U.S. port. We cover the whole chain ourselves, with government contacts in each source country.
Mine registration
We prepare and file mining claims, special grants and operating registrations with host-government ministries.
Mining development
Joint ventures, management agreements and equipment-as-equity structures for mines moving into production.
Raw mineral sourcing
We identify and qualify producers of gold, lithium and silver, and connect them with funders and buyers.
Import facilitation
Purchase, assay, export licensing and shipment of raw minerals and doré to U.S. and international buyers.
Gold buying desks
Buying desks set up with KYC checks, purity testing and documented payout procedures.
Government relations
Direct work with the governments of Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Burkina Faso on mining and export approvals.
Five steps, documented at each hand-off.
Every lot carries its paperwork forward, so a U.S. buyer can trace it back to the mine that produced it.
