Gold doré bars are melted and homogenized into bullion buttons in our induction furnace before undergoing double-check Fire Assay (ASTM E1335) and XRF spectrometry. Commercial settlement is calculated strictly against net fine gold content at LBMA London Fix spot rates minus agreed discount.
Standard commercial contracts incorporate umpire assay provisions. Composite split samples drawn by SGS / Alex Stewart at loading are sealed in triplicate. In case of variance beyond the contractual splitting limit (typically ±0.15% for concentrates or ±0.05% for bullion), the third sealed sample is sent to an agreed independent umpire laboratory whose result is final and binding.
