Gold Sourcing in Kenya
Kenya is our base of operations and one of our principal sourcing markets, supporting precious-metals trading and supply relationships within the region.
Regional context
Kenya functions as a commercial and logistics hub for East Africa, with established transport links, banking infrastructure and trade services. That infrastructure is one reason regional precious-metals trading relationships are frequently coordinated from Kenya.
Operating from Kenya gives us direct access to the relationships, service providers and export processes involved in moving precious metals from the region to international buyers.
Our sourcing approach
We work with sourcing relationships in the Kenyan market and assess each opportunity against what can be supplied, verified and documented for a buyer's destination.
NZ Mineral Trading works with established supply channels and undertakes appropriate verification and documentation checks as part of the transaction process. What we can confirm about any particular material is established during the enquiry and due-diligence process.
Verification
Establishing what the material is
Verification requirements are set according to the product and the transaction. They may involve weighing, sampling, assay information, laboratory testing or supporting documentation.
For material that has not been refined, assayed metal content determines the payable value, so sampling and assay arrangements are agreed before the transaction proceeds.
Documentation & responsibility
Documentation and responsible sourcing
Documentation relevant to a transaction may include product specifications, assay information, origin or source documentation, commercial documents and export documentation applicable to the destination.
Supplier identification, record keeping and ongoing due diligence apply to sourcing relationships in every market we work with. 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.
