A vertically integrated house.
Owning the chain
is the business model.
Auremont was founded in 2016 on a single conviction: that the only durable answer to provenance risk in precious metals is to own each link of the chain rather than to certify someone else’s. We buy at the licensed site, refine through accredited refiners, hold in tier-one vaults and fabricate in our own ateliers.
That structure is slower and more capital-intensive than brokerage. It is also the reason a counterparty can ask where a kilogram came from and receive a licence reference, an assay dossier and a named site rather than an assurance.
Four desks, one book.
Each desk trades from the same physical book — sourcing, trading, refining and fabrication under one licence.
Sourcing
Direct offtake from licensed cooperatives and small and mid-tier mines across West and Central Africa.
Trading
Physical gold, silver, platinum and palladium transacted spot and forward with institutional counterparties.
Refining & vaulting
Processing through LBMA Good Delivery refiners and allocated storage in Dubai, Hong Kong and Zurich.
Atelier
Bespoke and small-series fabrication from metal drawn out of our own book.
What we will
and will not do.
Four commitments that have not changed since the company was founded, and that determine which business we decline.
Physical only
We deal in metal that exists, is assayed and is vaulted. No unallocated accounts, no synthetic exposure, no paper products.
Transparent pricing
Producers and counterparties are priced against published benchmarks with a stated charge. No discretionary deductions.
Documented origin
Every kilogram carries a country, a site, a licence reference and an assay result, retained for at least ten years.
Bank settlement
Wire settlement in cleared funds only. No cash, no third-party payment, no bearer instruments.
Regulated, audited,
reviewable.
Auremont Gold FZCO is licensed in the United Arab Emirates and operates through affiliated entities in Hong Kong and Switzerland. Compliance is managed by a dedicated desk reporting independently of trading, applying KYC, KYB and ultimate beneficial ownership review to every counterparty, screening against OFAC, EU, UK, UN and DFAT lists, and conducting continuous monitoring thereafter. Financial statements are audited annually, and supply-chain due diligence is assessed against the OECD Guidance and the LBMA Global Precious Metals Code.
