Our Services
East Africa Minerals supports international buyers at every stage of sourcing gold, diamonds and gemstones from East Africa: verifying who you’re buying from, confirming what you’re buying, and documenting the export so it holds up at the border.
What We Offer
Each service below exists to answer one question a buyer should always be asking: how do you know this is real, and how do you know it’s legal to export?
Gold Trading
We connect buyers with sellers of gold doré, gold bars and refined gold, and we verify the seller’s licensing before any transaction proceeds - not after.
Gold Export
Export requires more than a willing buyer and seller. In Uganda, for example, a mineral dealer licence from the Directorate of Geological Survey and Mines and a per-consignment export permit are both required under the Mining and Minerals Act 2022, alongside customs clearance from the Uganda Revenue Authority and a certificate of origin from the Uganda National Chamber of Commerce and Industry. We manage that process rather than leaving a buyer to navigate it alone.
Gold Doré Bars
We source gold doré bars from sellers we have verified, and we arrange independent assay before any purity claim is treated as fact.
Diamond Trading
We source diamonds through the same verification standard we apply to gold: checking a seller’s documentation before representing any claim about the material as fact.
Gemstone Trading
The same standard applies to gemstones - sapphires, rubies, emeralds and others - sourced from sellers whose documentation a buyer can check.
Mineral Export
Beyond gold, diamonds and gemstones, we support export of other mineral commodities, coordinating the same licensing and documentation chain regardless of the specific mineral.
Commodity Sourcing
We identify and check potential suppliers on a buyer’s behalf, rather than simply forwarding whichever seller approaches us first.
Supplier Verification
Before we introduce any seller, we check that they hold the mineral dealer licence their jurisdiction requires, and we ask to see it - not just a reference to it.
Assay Services
We arrange independent assay testing so a purity claim is a verified result, not a seller’s word. Buyers are welcome to ask to witness or independently repeat the sampling.
Export Documentation
We prepare and coordinate the export permit, customs clearance and certificate of origin a legal export requires, working directly with the relevant licensing and customs authorities rather than relying on informal paperwork.
Logistics Management
We coordinate the physical movement of verified material from origin to export point - in Uganda, for example, most gold exports move through Entebbe International Airport - and from there to its destination.
Compliance & Due Diligence
We work within the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, the framework most refiners and the LBMA require, and we tell buyers plainly when a sourcing area calls for more due diligence than usual rather than glossing over it.
Working With Us
If you need one of these services on its own, or the full process from sourcing through to export, contact us and we’ll tell you honestly what we can verify and what we can’t.
