Frequently asked questions
How is fine-gold weight calculated?
Gross weight is multiplied by the assayed gold fraction. For example, 1,000 g at 900 fineness contains 900 g of fine gold.
What documents are required?
Proof of origin and ownership, export permits from the country of origin and the records needed for responsible-sourcing checks.
What is the minimum order quantity?
It depends on the product and the lot. The minimum quantity, price and delivery terms are set out in the written quotation.
