Overview
Gold dust consists of very fine particles of gold, usually recovered from riverbeds and alluvial gravels. It is often associated with small-scale and artisanal production.
Because particles are so fine, gold dust can contain sand, magnetite and moisture that are hard to separate visually. Careful cleaning, weighing and assaying are central to any transaction.
Product forms and buyer considerations
- Cleaned dust
- Material that has been dried and had most heavy sands removed.
- Concentrate
- Gravity concentrate still containing a share of black sand.
- Buyer considerations
- Dry weight after cleaning can differ materially from initial weight.
Specifications to confirm
- Whether the material is cleaned or concentrate
- Dry weight and the weighing procedure
- Assay method and laboratory
- Export permits and royalty paperwork
Due diligence
- Apply heightened responsible-sourcing checks given artisanal supply chains.
- Weigh and test in the presence of both parties or an agreed inspector.
- Confirm documentation of export taxes and royalties.
The exact product form, specifications, documentation and availability must be confirmed for each proposed transaction. We do not publish prices, inventory, grades or delivery times.
Frequently asked questions
Why does weight change after cleaning?
Moisture, sand and magnetite are removed during drying and cleaning, reducing the weight of the remaining gold.
Do you buy directly from artisanal miners?
We do not claim verified supplier relationships. Sourcing and documentation are reviewed for each proposed transaction.
