Refinery

Setting the Bar

Our refinery has consistently pushed the boundaries of gold refining. In 1982, we broke new ground by introducing the world's first 99.99% pure gold bullion coin.

In 1998, we reached an unprecedented level of purity at 99.999%, cementing our position as a global leader. Today, we are one of the few mints in the world to issue 99999 fine gold bullion investment products, including grain. Supported by our world-class ISO 9001 accredited facility and advanced assay lab, we ensure exceptional quality and efficiency throughout the refining process.

Ecosystem

As a leading refiner of London Good Delivery and COMEX gold and silver exchange bars, and manufacturer of best-selling gold and silver bullion products, our pool accounts offer exceptional liquidity. We collaborate with renowned Canadian and global banks, major bullion traders, funds, and investment firms. Deposits come from diverse North American sources, including mines, jewellery manufacturers, scrap dealers, and pawn shops, as well as high-grade industrial scrap dealers. Our London Good Delivery gold bars are widely accepted on prestigious precious metal exchanges worldwide (New York, London, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Dubai).

Accreditation and Certification

As full standing members of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) and the Mining Association of Canada (MAC), we adhere to the highest industry standards and practices. Our assay lab participates in regular ASTM and LBMA proficiency testing and since 1919, our gold refinery holds a position on the LBMA’s coveted Good Delivery List. Today, our gold and silver refineries proudly hold certification under the LBMA’s Responsible Gold & Silver Guidance, and we are the only Good Delivery Refiner to hold MAC membership.
