Our most critical service. We protect you from fraud by thoroughly vetting every seller before any transaction proceeds. This is your first line of defense.
The precious metals trade from West Africa is plagued by fraud. Fake sellers with forged documents, unlicensed operations, advance fee scams, and outright theft have cost buyers millions of dollars.
We don't take documents at face value. We verify directly with government authorities, conduct background investigations, review transaction history, and when necessary, perform on-site inspections of mining operations.
Every seller must pass our verification before any transaction can proceed. No exceptions.
You risk losing your entire investment to fraudulent sellers with fake mining licenses, forged export permits, and fabricated business histories. Many buyers have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars to sophisticated scams that proper verification would have caught.
Forged mining licenses, export permits, and company registrations
Requests for upfront payments for "taxes," "bribes," or "fees"
Fake companies with no actual gold inventory or operations
Our verification process examines every aspect of a seller's legitimacy.
Direct verification with the Ministry of Mines in the seller's country. We confirm the license is valid, current, and actually belongs to the seller.
Confirmation that the seller has valid, current authorization to export precious metals from their country of operation.
Verification of company registration, incorporation documents, legal standing, and years in operation.
Background investigation on company owners, directors, and key decision-makers including identity verification.
On-site visits to mining operations when required or requested. Physical verification that the operation exists and is producing.
Contact with previous buyers, business partners, and industry references when available to verify transaction history.
Here's what happens when we verify a seller.
We request all relevant documentation from the seller: mining license, export permit, business registration, identification of principals, and any previous transaction records.
1-2 daysWe contact the relevant government authorities directly — Ministry of Mines, business registry, export licensing authority — to verify all documents are genuine and current.
3-7 daysWe investigate the principals behind the company — identity verification, business history, any red flags or previous issues. We check for connections to known fraud patterns.
3-5 daysFor larger transactions or when concerns arise, we arrange on-site inspection of the mining operation to verify it exists and is actually producing gold.
5-10 daysWe compile all findings into a comprehensive verification report. You receive a clear pass/fail determination along with detailed documentation of what we found.
1-2 daysWhat happens after we complete our verification.
The seller is legitimate and properly licensed. All documents verified as genuine. The transaction can proceed with confidence to the next phase: laboratory testing of the gold itself.
The transaction does not proceed. You receive a detailed report explaining exactly what issues we found. Your investment is protected — you've avoided a potentially costly fraud.
Have you been approached by a seller and want them verified before proceeding? We offer verification as a standalone service — you don't have to use our full transaction facilitation.
To be clear about what we do and don't do regarding verification.
Standard verification takes 7-14 business days. With site inspection, allow 14-21 days. Rush service is available for urgent situations.
You receive a detailed report explaining exactly what we found. No transaction proceeds. You've been protected from a potentially costly mistake.
Absolutely. Our standalone verification service is specifically for this. You don't have to use our full transaction facilitation.
We verify sellers in Guinea, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Mali, Burkina Faso, and other West African gold-producing nations where we have established contacts.
No. Site inspection is required for large transactions (typically $500K+) or when document verification raises concerns. It's optional but recommended for added assurance.
The transaction moves to the next phase: laboratory testing of the gold itself. Verification confirms the seller is legitimate; testing confirms the gold quality.
Don't risk your investment. Let us verify any seller before you commit a single dollar.
