Our History
BUY GOLD CO was founded in 2015 in Johannesburg, with a focus on ethical mineral sourcing across Africa. We began by establishing direct relationships with licensed mines and artisanal cooperatives in South Africa, later expanding into Ghana and South Sudan. Our UK office supports trade finance, compliance, and client coordination. Over the past decade, we’ve facilitated 150+ verified shipments—including gold to the USA and UAE, and copper to China—always with full chain-of-custody, independent assay, and export documentation. We grow through reliability, not scale.
Established
BUY GOLD CO launched in Johannesburg, focusing on direct gold sourcing from licensed South African mines. Initial operations emphasized on-ground verification, third-party assay, and full export compliance—laying the foundation for trusted cross-border trade.
Ghana Operations Begin
We established field presence in Ashanti and Western Regions, partnering with registered cooperatives and formal producers. First exports of verified Ghanaian gold shipped to UAE refiners under OECD-aligned due diligence.
South Sudan Entry
After securing local licensing, we began ethical sourcing from approved alluvial sites in Eastern Equatoria. All shipments include GPS-tracked logistics, chain-of-custody logs, and customs pre-clearance for international markets.
UK Trade Desk Launched
A London-based team was formed to manage trade finance, compliance, and client coordination for EU, US, and Asian buyers. This enabled seamless handling of EUDR, US CBP, and Chinese import requirements.
