Services Offered

M&C Gold and Precious Metals Refinery provides a comprehensive range of services to its clients:

• Gold Receiving: The refinery practices consistent measures when receiving consignments. Upon arrival, parcels, boxes, and containers are inspected for any external damage, and the contents are weighed and documented. Thorough laboratory analyses are performed to ensure the efficacy of the received materials. Clients are allowed to have representatives present during the analysis process to maintain transparency.
• Assaying: Utilizing advanced technologies, M&C conducts various assaying methodologies, including Fire Assay, Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy, X-ray Fluorescence, Ultrasonic Analysis, and Water Density Analysis. These techniques determine both qualitative and quantitative properties of all metals brought to the refinery, providing clients with accurate information about their products.
• Refining: The refinery employs the Wet Chemistry Acid Parting method, considered one of the most economically efficient methods, especially in regions like Ghana. This technique involves dissolving dore gold grains using acids and subsequently precipitating pure gold into powder form. The process typically takes a minimum of eight hours and yields refined products with a fineness of not less than 999.50.
• Storage: Clients are provided with secure and insured vaults for storing their dore gold, gold bullions, and other precious metals. This ensures the safety and integrity of clients’ assets while under the refinery’s custody.
