01 — Pre-Dispatch Gate

Before Metal Leaves the Gate

Every condition must be visible before physical dispatch. No surprises downstream.

Buyer verified

Entity identity, compliance status, and institutional qualification confirmed.

Funding readiness logged

SBLC, escrow, or direct funding instrument confirmed and visible to producer.

Export docs uploaded

Export permits, tax compliance, and customs documentation submitted and reviewed.

Refinery pre-clearance

Receiving refinery has acknowledged origin package and confirmed intake capacity.

Carrier route assigned

Armored carrier selected, route documented, insurance/custody record attached.

Responsible sourcing filed

OECD-aligned responsible sourcing attestation and mine-of-origin documentation filed.

02 — Physical Workflow

Doré Lifecycle — Mine to Settlement

01

Register Output

Record batch identity, weight, mine ID, and responsible sourcing.

02

Document Origin

File provenance, export, tax, and sourcing attestation.

03

Assign Carrier

Select armored logistics and initiate chain-of-custody.

04

Dispatch

Physical handoff — custody tracking begins.

05

Refinery Intake

Arrival, intake weight, batch identity confirmation.

06

Assay

Independent melt/assay establishes payable gold.

07

Settlement Instruction

Final value calculates — settlement authorization proceeds.

03 — Settlement Basis

Assay Is the Source of Truth

Declared gross doré is not the settlement value. Final outturn determines payable gold. Settlement is calculated against the independent refinery assay, not declared input.

04 — FAQ

Producer FAQ

01How are provisional payments handled?

AurumShield supports custom contractual terms, allowing for provisional payments upon delivery to the refinery, with the balance settled post-assay.

02Who manages export documentation?

The platform provides a centralized, secure repository to organize and present export, tax, and customs documentation required for international dispatch.

03What visibility exists during transit?

Transit events are captured at key points: carrier handoff, departure, any border crossings, and refinery intake. Event-level tracking provides producers with documented visibility into the logistics chain.

04How is responsible-sourcing attestation handled?

Producers provide mine-of-origin documentation, responsible-sourcing attestation aligned with OECD due diligence expectations, and supporting documentation as part of output registration. This documentation is retained as part of the structured transaction record.

05How does settlement value differ from declared weight?

Declared gross doré weight is not the settlement basis. Final settlement is calculated against the independent refinery assay, which determines actual payable gold content based on verified purity and weight.
