Posted 3 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

We are looking for an experienced Gold Sourcing & Due Diligence Consultant with an established network within the African gold mining and precious metals industry. Our objective is to build long-term, direct relationships with legitimate gold miners, mining cooperatives, licensed gold dealers/exporters and established aggregators who can supply gold doré on a recurring basis. We are not looking for someone simply offering “gold available”. We are looking for a professional who can help us identify, verify and develop reliable supply channels. Initial focus will be on Ghana, Tanzania and other established African gold-producing markets. The ideal candidate should be able to: Identify legitimate miners, cooperatives, dealers and exporters Verify company registrations and relevant mining/dealer/export licences Establish direct introductions to decision-makers Obtain information regarding available volumes, purity/assay, pricing and discount to international gold spot price Verify historical production/export capability where possible Understand local gold trading and export procedures Assist with KYC and supplier due diligence Help establish transparent, repeatable supply agreements Coordinate communication with our European refinery/compliance process We are particularly interested in suppliers capable of starting with small trial transactions (approximately 1–5 kg) with the potential to develop into recurring 5–25+ kg transactions once the relationship and supply chain have been successfully verified. All transactions must be legal, documented and transparent, with clear provenance and appropriate KYC/AML and responsible-sourcing documentation. We are not interested in cryptocurrency-based structures, anonymous sellers, undocumented gold, upfront “release fees”, or unverifiable offers. Please include in your application: Tell us briefly about your experience in African gold/mining markets, which countries you have direct contacts in, what type of suppliers you work with, and whether you have previously facilitated gold doré transactions to international refiners. Do not send generic gold offers. We are looking for a long-term sourcing partner, not a one-off broker. Commercial arrangement We are open to an initial paid sourcing/due-diligence assignment, followed by a performance-based arrangement for suppliers that successfully pass verification and complete transactions.
