At African Gold Dealers, our mission has always been clear: to serve as the premier, trusted bridge connecting dedicated artisan miners across East Africa with serious international buyers and global investors. Today, we are proud to announce one of our most significant consignments yet.
We have successfully secured a massive 369-kilogram lot of premium alluvial gold nuggets, now ready for acquisition, testing, and export documentation processing through our Kampala, Uganda headquarters.
The Consignment Breakdown:
Total Weight: 369 Kilograms
Form: Alluvial Gold Nuggets
Purity Grade: 23 Karats (97%+ Pure Gold Content)
Origin: Ethical, local artisan mining communities
Location: 80 AV. BLVD Nyamwisi Matonge, Ituri, Congo (Available for local inspection and smelting protocols)
Why This Specific Lot Demands Attention
Finding gold nuggets at a 97%+ purity level (23K) in nature is exceptionally rare. Most natural gold deposits require extensive refining to strip away heavy silver, copper, or iron impurities. This alluvial lot, however, boasts an incredibly clean chemical composition straight out of the earth. For investors, this translates into minimal smelting loss and immediate, high-yield value.
Secure, Fully Documented Processing
Navigating cross-border mineral logistics in East Africa requires absolute legal precision. With over forty years of experience in the region, African Gold Dealers handles the entire transaction lifecycle so you don't face the usual political or bureaucratic bottlenecks.
Our in-house network of market consultants, logistics specialists, and forwarding professionals manages:
Quality Verification: Rigorous testing and direct smelting services to convert nuggets into international standard bullion bars if requested.
Full Documentation: Acquisition of official export permits, certificate of origin, tax clearances, and mineral licensing.
Forwarding and Security: Secure, insured transit and customs clearing from Uganda to your destination refinery or vault worldwide.
Secure Logistics for Your High-Purity 23K Alluvial Gold Nuggets Consignment
Moving a precious cargo of 369 kilograms requires more than just standard freight solutions; it demands absolute security, legal precision, and institutional-grade oversight.

Our operations team works hand-in-hand with recognized international secure transit agencies to ensure your physical assets are fully insured and insulated from transport risks. Whether you require local inspection at our Kampala facilities or direct vault-to-vault international delivery, our chain of custody remains unbroken.
Our Step-by-Step Export and Delivery Protocol
To ensure a seamless acquisition process, we manage the complete bureaucratic and physical pipeline:
Assay & Verification: The lot undergoes immediate fire assay and spectroscopic testing in Democratic Republic Of Congo to re-verify the 97%+ purity before final sealing.
Mineral Licensing & Clearance: We compile all mandatory regulatory documentation, including Democratic Republic Of Congo export permits, certified Certificates of Origin, and full local tax clearances.
Global Air Freight Forwarding: The consignment is securely packed into tamper-evident, Brinks-style specialized bullion crates and transferred via armored transport directly to Entebbe International Airport for insured, high-security global air cargo routing.
From Source to Vault: Inside Our New DRC Procurement Pipeline
To give our global partners absolute transparency, we have documented our complete, closed-loop procurement process. Watch the video breakdown below to see how our new regional offices in Bunia (Ituri Province, DRC) manage everything from on-the-ground ethical mining partnerships to international secure shipping.
Our 5-Stage Closed-Loop Procurement Process
Direct Mine-Site Procurement (Ituri Province, DRC)
Our new corporate offices in Bunia allow our procurement officers to work directly with fully licensed, conflict-free artisan mining cooperatives on-site. By buying straight from the source, we eliminate middleman markup and guarantee that our 369kg allotment is fully traceable under international OECD compliance standards.
On-Site Spectroscopic Testing & Preliminary Smelting
Once the raw alluvial gold nuggets are brought to our Bunia headquarters, they enter our state-of-the-art testing laboratory. Technicians perform initial density tests and XRF (X-ray fluorescence) spectroscopic analysis to verify the natural 23K purity. If requested by the buyer, the nuggets are smelted into rough dore bars right on-site.
DRC Mining Ministry Documentation & Legal Clearance
Before the assets move an inch, our internal compliance team clears the consignment through local regulatory authorities. We secure the necessary extraction certificates, settle all regional mining taxes, and generate the mandatory legal clearance paperwork required for lawful cross-border transit.
Inter-Office Secure Logistics to Kampala Hub
The certified lot is sealed in tamper-proof, tracked security bags and transported via private, armored transport from our Ituri office directly across the border to our main corporate headquarters in Kampala, Uganda. Here, a secondary verification assay is conducted to confirm the chain of custody remained perfectly unbroken.
International Export & Insured Global Forwarding
At our primary Kampala hub, the gold receives its final international export paperwork—including the official Certificate of Origin and customs clearance. The shipment is secured into specialized bullion crates and handed over to global secure carriers (like Brinks) at Entebbe International Airport for direct, fully insured air freight delivery to your destination refinery worldwide.
