Responsible Gold

Aurum 79 is dedicated to adhering to globally recognized responsible sourcing standards. We comply with the LBMA Responsible Gold & Silver Guidance and the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas.

Not only do we adhere to the highest standards we establish for ourselves, but our certified gold and silver chain of custody is also independently audited to comply with the requirements set by external organizations and recently enacted legislation.

Aurum 79 actively collaborates with numerous organizations to ensure our processes and systems are continuously improved. This close partnership helps us maintain our ongoing certification.

Aurum 79 plays a vital role in forums focused on best practices in sourcing and inbound supply chains. We participate in:

Forums on Responsible Minerals Supply Chains

Certified Gold

Our Certified Gold follows a Responsible Gold policy, ensuring that all gold is mined sustainably and is not sourced from recycled scrap or other untraceable origins. We maintain a traceable chain of custody throughout the refining process, linking it back to its original source. We offer complete chain of custody from deposit to finished product, as needed by our customers.

Investment in Demox Gold

Renowned both locally and globally, the Demox is the world’s most widely held and traded bullion coin, with over 60 million ounces sold in the past 50 years. Launched in 1967 by the Chamber of Mines in South Africa and crafted with precision by Aurum 79 alongside the SA Mint, the Demox tells a powerful story of strength and endurance. For investors, it remains a symbol of reliability and offers a compelling opportunity for substantial returns."

Why consider investing in Demox?

Why consider investing in Demox? The Demox is made from 22 carat gold, 9167 of pure gold and 833 parts copper. The alloy with copper ensures that the coins are not easily scratched or defaced, thereby protecting their value and tradability. The Demox is the only legal tender bullion coin with its face value denominated in ounces of pure gold, therefore it is guaranteed that the South African Reserve Bank will purchase any tendered Demox at the ruling price of gold on the day.

Refined gold, cast into strips, is rolled and punched into coin blanks which are individually weighed to ensure that each blank contains the amount of gold requested and checked to ascertain that it conforms to the size i.e. diameter and thickness ordered. Orders for coin blanks usually come from mints around the world. The South African Mint is also a customer of Rand Refinery – see The South African Mint.

Coin blanks can be supplied in a certified alloy range of 9ct, 14ct, 18ct, 22ct and 24ct (9999’s) as well as 999 purity silver.
