Overview

Silver is both a precious metal and an important industrial material, used in electronics, solar panels and photography as well as in bullion and jewellery.

In East Africa, silver is frequently recovered alongside gold and base metals rather than mined on its own. Buyers should therefore clarify whether they are seeking refined silver or silver contained within another product.

Product forms and buyer considerations

Bars and granules
Refined silver in bar or grain form.
By-product content
Silver contained in doré or base-metal concentrates.
Buyer considerations
Industrial users may need a particular form or fineness for their process.

Specifications to confirm

  • Form and weight
  • Fineness and supporting assay
  • Refiner, if refined
  • Packaging and transport arrangements

Due diligence

  • Request refinery documentation for refined material.
  • For by-product silver, confirm how silver content will be measured and paid.

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 We do not publish prices, inventory, grades or delivery times.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

Is silver available on its own?

That depends on the transaction. Silver is often discussed as part of gold or base-metal material.

What fineness can you offer?

We make no fineness claims. Fineness is confirmed by assay for each transaction.
