What we are building

A buyer whose paperwork is the product

Nigeria produces far more gold than it formally sells. Most of it leaves the country without papers, royalties or a chain of custody. Miners are paid less than their gold is worth, and buyers abroad cannot tell responsibly sourced metal from the rest.

Wangara Gold is being built to change that for the lots it handles. We will buy only from holders of valid mining titles and from registered cooperatives. We will assay every lot in front of the seller. We will have it refined through a partner refinery. We will sell it to lawful buyers, including the National Gold Purchase Programme once registered as a supplier.

The price will be set from the London benchmark less a discount we will publish, measured in front of you.

How a sale will work

For miners and cooperatives

A price measured in the open, payment by bank transfer, and a documented sale you can show a bank.

What you will need to sell to us

For refiners and buyers

Six documents with every lot, drafted to the OECD Guidance and its Gold Supplement, so your due-diligence file is complete before the metal arrives.

For Nigeria

Royalty paid and value recorded in Nigeria.

Proof

Six documents will travel with every lot

The seller's file, the witnessed assay, the sealed lot number, the insured transport record, the fire-assay certificate and the sale or export record. Each answers a question a bank or a refiner will ask.
