Sourcing
African Gold Sourcing
NZ Mineral Trading Company operates from Kenya with sourcing networks extending across East and Central Africa, including Kenya, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
A regional position, transaction by transaction
Kenya functions as a regional commercial and logistics centre, which is why trading relationships across neighbouring markets are commonly coordinated from there. Our sourcing network reflects that position.
What a network provides is access and relationships, not a guarantee about any particular consignment. Availability, origin, purity, quantity and documentation are established for the material actually under discussion.
Our principal sourcing markets
- Kenya
- One of our principal sourcing markets, supporting precious-metals trading and supply relationships within the region.
- Uganda
- Our sourcing network extends into Uganda, providing access to gold supply through regional trading relationships.
- Democratic Republic of the Congo
- We also source through relationships connected to the DRC, subject to verification and applicable requirements.
Verification
What we establish before a transaction proceeds
Sourcing is only useful to a buyer if the material can be described accurately and verified. Weight, purity and product form are established using the method appropriate to the material.
For unrefined material, assayed content rather than gross weight determines value, so sampling procedure and assay arrangements are agreed before commitment.
Due diligence
Supplier identification and source information
We recognise the importance of supplier identification, documentation, source information, due diligence and compliance throughout the precious-metals supply chain.
NZ Mineral Trading works with established supply channels and undertakes appropriate verification and documentation checks as part of the transaction process. Relevant licences, certifications, assay documentation, supporting transaction documents and other verification records can be provided to qualified buyers during the due-diligence and transaction process.
Product purity, specifications and availability are confirmed for each proposed transaction. Buyers may request the relevant supporting documentation during the inquiry and verification process.
Responsible sourcing — We are committed to conducting precious-metals transactions with appropriate attention to documentation, verification, transparency and applicable compliance requirements.
