Uganda’s Gold Mining Sector

From Extraction to Export

Gold mined in Uganda is typically produced as doré - a semi-pure alloy - at or near the mining site, then moves through licensed dealers before export. Purity and origin aren’t verified by default at any single stage; that’s what independent assay and licence checks are for.

Our Role

We don’t mine, refine, or operate assay facilities ourselves. We verify the seller’s mineral dealer licence, arrange independent assay through a third-party laboratory, and coordinate export documentation and logistics.
