Gold Authentication and Verification
Verifying the authenticity of gold and other metals/commodities is of paramount importance is a key consideration that you can trust your gold and other mineral providers with regard to the authenticity of your product.
We have the experience and the authentication procedures in place to ensure that your preferred mineral is genuine
We ensure that all the gold or other minerals you receive is refined by an accredited bullion mint or refiner, stamped with a serial number, and is of a purity of at least 99.5%. Once a gold bar has been assayed and is of proven weight and purity to be accepted by the professional and international consumer markets, the bar should remain in professional vaults recognized international financial exchanges.
A gold bar that remains within the gold market’s chain of integrity can be easily traded and exchanged and furthermore, it does not need to be reassured or proven. Gold bullion that remains within the chain of integrity is said to be of good delivery’ status.
By keeping gold bullion within the chain of integrity, we can assure that our clients own authentic gold bullion. Know your customer (KYC) and international money laundering requirements, which involve having photographic identification documents for all clients – whether buying or selling – actually help protect clients. They mean that bullion providers can always trace who has sold them what product and greatly reduce the risk of inauthentic gold bullion entering the market
Technical Testing
When it comes to establishing your products, either locally or internationally, you need to prove that your product parts comply with your client’s technical requirements. Plus, to increase competitive edge, you need to protect merchants, processors, and manufacturers against the risk of using a non-conforming product.
You will also need to protect yourself against the risk of using non-conforming materials during manufacturing, in that case, materials testing is the only answer
Laboratory analysis of gold is generally carried out through a fire assay process to isolate the precious metals and followed by gravimetric analysis or atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) to determine sample concentrations and that is the core of our Gold Authentication and Verification process
