Gold (Au)
Our complete end-to-end gold logistics — from artisanal mine to international vault. We source gold directly from licensed mines across East Africa, processing it to the highest international purity standards.
Gold — Mine to Market
Every gram of gold follows a transparent 8-step journey from licensed artisanal mines to international delivery.
Artisanal Mining & Sourcing
Verified sourcing from licensed artisanal and semi-industrial mines across the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, and Tanzania. Each mine is registered and audited for compliance with national mining regulations and OECD Due Diligence guidelines before any procurement begins. We work directly with cooperatives and mine operators to ensure ethical practices at every extraction point.
Collection & Weighing
Raw gold is collected on-site from verified mining operations and transported to our regional collection centers. Precise weighing is conducted using calibrated equipment, and each batch is tagged with a unique identification number linked to its source mine. Initial documentation begins here — creating the chain-of-custody record that follows the gold through every subsequent stage.
Washing & Processing
Raw ore is washed, processed and prepared for laboratory assay. Kibal supervises each stage to ensure material integrity and accurate weight recording at the processing facility. Impurities are systematically removed through controlled smelting and refining processes, producing gold doré bars that meet the preliminary quality thresholds required for independent certification.
Assay & Certification
Independent ISO 17025-accredited laboratories conduct rigorous assay testing to determine exact purity, weight, and composition. Results are documented with official certificates tied to the mineral's unique chain-of-custody record. Buyers receive detailed assay reports showing gold content, trace elements, and purity levels — providing complete confidence in every gram they purchase.
Compliance Documentation
A comprehensive compliance package is prepared for each shipment: OECD due diligence reports, iTSCi chain-of-custody tags, conflict-mineral declarations, country-of-origin certificates, and all required government authorizations. This documentation ensures buyers meet their corporate and regulatory obligations — including Dodd-Frank Act Section 1502 requirements for US-listed companies.
Secure Transport
Armored vehicle transport from the processing facility to the designated export point. Every movement is covered by comprehensive insurance and coordinated with local security forces where required. Full GPS tracking provides real-time visibility of the shipment's location, with dedicated logistics managers monitoring each transfer from departure to arrival at the export hub.
Export & Customs Clearance
Full export documentation is prepared and submitted: export licenses, customs declarations, inspection certificates, and all government authorizations required for international shipment. Our experienced regulatory team manages the entire process — ensuring smooth, compliant export processing without delays across East Africa.
International Delivery
Door-to-vault delivery to global refineries, trading houses, and financial institutions worldwide. Air freight coordination with bonded warehouse handling ensures maximum security throughout transit. A complete audit trail accompanies every shipment — from mine source to final destination. Deal is closed with final document exchange, payment settlement, and relationship maintained for future trade.
