FAQ – buying gold in Africa

Where is the best place to buy gold in Africa?

There is no single “best” country, but Congo and Uganda are among the key gold corridors in Central and East Africa. Working with a licensed exporter such as Congo Rare Minerals gives you structured access to these routes with clear documentation and assay-before-payment.

Can you deliver Africa gold directly to Dubai, Zurich or London?

Yes. Under CIF contracts we arrange freight and insurance from Africa to agreed hubs such as Dubai, Zurich and London, delivering to buyer-nominated refineries. Under FOB, the buyer or their logistics partner arranges uplift from the African departure airport.

What are the typical minimums to buy gold in Africa?

For CIF contract shipments the minimum is usually 10 kg of gold. Smaller quantities can be considered as FOB trial lots for new buyers, subject to full KYC and commercial approval.

Do you only supply gold bars or also gold grain from Africa?

We supply both gold bars and gold grain from Africa. Many refiners prefer grain for melting and manufacturing. Contract buyers can specify the format they need or a mix of bars and grain.

What risks should I consider when buying gold in Africa?

Main risks include dealing with unlicensed sellers, unclear origin and lack of documentation. Our model addresses this through licensing, documented chain of custody, refinery assays and clear SPA terms so both sides know how metal and money will move.
