Commitment to Responsible Sourcing

Our ethos is built on a foundation of integrity. We ensure that every ounce of gold we market is sourced from miners who adhere to strict environmental, social, and governance principles. Our partnership with LBMA-certified entities like Typhoon Greenfield is a testament to our unwavering commitment to uplifting the African mining sector responsibly.

Anti-Money Laundering and Combating Terrorism Financing
Precious minerals represent a significant resource for illicit financing, including money laundering and terrorism, due to their high value density and portability. The physical, often opaque nature of the mineral trade creates vulnerabilities that malign actors—including shell companies and anonymous entities—routinely exploit.

Absence of stringent, internationally aligned regulatory measures and transparent supply chains, remain lucrative avenues for criminals and terrorists to generate wealth. These illicit activities not only fuel global instability but are also predicated on severe environmental degradation and widespread financial crime.

The enactment of Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing (AML/CFT) legislation is a critical component in the global fight against financial crime, including fraud, corruption, and bribery.

Over time, the scope of AML obligations have significantly expanded, placing greater responsibility on financial institutions. They are now required to implement rigorous customer due diligence (CDD), conduct ongoing transaction monitoring, and file reports on suspicious activities. CFT measures complement these efforts by targeting not only the illicit proceeds of crime but also the diversion of legitimately earned funds to finance terrorism. Beyond national legislation, this framework is in line with international standards set by bodies such as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), as well as a network of regulatory organisations, all collaborating to create a unified front against money laundering and terrorist financing.
