Sourcing & Supply Chain
Every gram of gold we sell is traceable. Here is the exact journey your gold takes — from artisanal mine across East and Central Africa to your hands, with independent verification at every stage.
Why Supply Chain Transparency Matters
The African gold market has historically been plagued by opacity — unclear origins, undocumented transfers, and unverified purity claims. YNM Gold Sellers was built to be the antidote to that. Our six-stage supply chain process eliminates every point of uncertainty between the mine and your purchase.
The Six-Stage Verified Chain
From ground to delivery — every stage documented, verified, and transparent.
Artisanal Extraction
Gold is extracted by our verified partner miners using approved, mercury-free methods. YNM field representatives are present for all significant extraction events.
On-Site Quality Check
Raw gold is weighed, tested with portable XRF analysers, and photographed at the extraction site. Initial purity and weight are recorded and signed by both parties.
Secure Transit to Nairobi
All gold is transported under secure, insured conditions with full chain-of-custody documentation maintained at every handoff point.
Independent Laboratory Verification
Every batch is assayed by an independent, certified laboratory in Nairobi. This third-party verification is the cornerstone of our authenticity guarantee — no product is sold without it.

We prepare origin certificates, assay reports, export permits, and compliance documentation. Buyers receive a complete documentation package with every purchase.
