Sourcing and Purchasing of Gold/Silver
We purchase GOLD from two distinct sources:
1. Primary source: we purchase gold from miners who bring in the gold to our refinery in Accra, or directly from the mining areas through our licensed buying agents.
2. Secondary source: we recover gold from sweepings from jewellery manufacturing and smelting of old traditional gold trinkets.
Predominantly, the gold we receive is in the form of ingots.
SILVER Sourcing: we recover silver from de-silvering of waste photochemical solutions from x-ray labs of hospitals, lithographic units of print houses and photo laboratories. The photochemical solutions are treated and disposed of according to Environmental Protection Agency guidelines.
Homogenization, Sampling and Analysis
The Gold we receive is weighed, homogenized and then re-weighed after smelting.
. We take a drill sample for a fire assay
· For local miners who demand a fast turnaround, we perform a Specific Gravity (SG) analysis.
· The SG analysis is a preliminary analysis we perform, with the Fire Assay being the main process we employ for gold analysis
Africa Mining Gold Bars has a modern equipped Chemical Laboratory manned by competent Chemist and Metallurgists.
