At Refentse Mines & Logistics, we believe that the value of gold is not just in its purity, but in its provenance. In an era of heightened global scrutiny, "Integrity" is our most vital asset. Our supply chain is a closed-loop system designed to provide absolute transparency, from the sourcing of primary material to the final delivery of LBMA-standard bullion.
Integrity begins at the source. Refentse operates a rigorous Tiered Sourcing Protocol. We only engage with production hubs that can provide a clear "Chain of Origin."
Due Diligence: Every sourcing partner undergoes an exhaustive background check, including verification of mining licenses and environmental compliance.
Ethics First: We strictly adhere to the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains, ensuring our gold is 100% conflict-free

Raw material only enters the global market once it has been "transformed" by institutional-grade refinement.
Refinery Partners: We work exclusively with regional refineries that hold international certifications. This stage "cleans" the jurisdictional risk by converting dore into bankable bars.
Mass Balance Accounting: We track the exact weight and purity of material entering and exiting the refinery to ensure no "outside" material enters our pipeline.
The supply chain is only as strong as its weakest link. We remove all "blind spots" through strategic logistics:
Point-to-Point Security: From the refinery, bullion is transported via armored, "All-Risks" insured transit.
Global Hubs: Our primary delivery nodes—Zurich and Dubai—are selected for their world-class legal frameworks and high-security infrastructure.
Final Custody: We utilize Tier-1 custodians (such as Brink’s or Malca-Amit) to ensure that the gold is "Vault-Ready" for the buyer upon arrival.
Refentse operates a strict Know Your Product (KYP) protocol. Our operations comply with:
OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains.
FATF (Financial Action Task Force) standards for Anti-Money Laundering (AML).
World Gold Council Conflict-Free Gold Standards.
We do not deliver raw material. We deliver Investment-Grade Bullion. All metal within our pipeline is processed through accredited regional refineries to meet exact purity requirements:
Loco Zurich Allocation: 999.9 Fine Gold (LBMA Standard)
Loco Dubai Allocation: 995.0 Fine Gold (Investment Grade)
Transparency is achieved through science. Before any financial settlement, every tranche undergoes a dual-verification process:
Ultrasonic & XRF Testing: To ensure internal consistency and surface purity.
Independent Fire Assay: Conducted by third-party laboratories to provide a definitive Certificate of Analysis (COA) for the buyer.
We manage the "last mile" of the bullion journey. Our logistics framework is built on security and speed:
Insured Transit: All shipments are covered by comprehensive "All-Risks" insurance.
Global Custody: We integrate with Tier-1 vaulting partners in Zurich (Brink’s/Malca-Amit) and Dubai (DMCC) to ensure the chain of custody remains unbroken from refinery to the buyer's hand.
