The refining process

Five steps, fully transparent

From the moment your lot is weighed to the moment you're paid, every stage is handled in-house by industry experts.

01Weight

Weight

Each lot is accurately weighed on certified, regularly calibrated scales, with the entire process recorded on camera.

02Melt

Melt

We recommend melting each karat lot separately (10k, 14k, 18k), when applicable, to achieve maximum homogenization. Our solid state induction equipment and industry experts ensure minimal melt loss.

03Sampling

Sampling

A pin sample is provided to each customer for the option of independent analysis. We pour your bar immediately after the sample is taken to ensure a minimal melt loss and a correct assay of the material.

04Assay

Assay

Global Bullion uses state of the art XRF technology. Within a few minutes, we obtain an analysis of your material showing gold, silver, platinum and palladium content. We send a report for review and approval.

05Payout

Payout
