For Refineries
AurumShield helps refineries review origin, export, sanctions, responsible sourcing, logistics, and counterparty documentation before doré reaches the intake dock.
01 — Intake Gate
02 — Documentation Matrix
Every upstream documentation requirement is tracked, reviewed, and exportable for audit before physical intake.
| Requirement | Collected | Reviewed | Exception | Audit Export |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Producer Identity | ||||
| Source-of-Origin | ||||
| Export / Tax Documentation | ||||
| Responsible Sourcing (OECD) | ||||
| Sanctions Screening | ||||
| Chain-of-Custody |
03 — Assay → Settlement
Your independent assay is the settlement source of truth. It flows directly into the buyer/seller settlement logic. Refineries are not responsible for buyer/seller payment disputes.
The refinery uploads assay-confirmed payable weight and purity. This data becomes the deterministic settlement basis. Buyer/seller capital flows, fee calculations, and release authorization are platform responsibilities — not refinery obligations.
04 — Exception Handling
Every documentation gap, compliance exception, or intake anomaly follows a defined escalation path. No silent failures.
05 — FAQ
No. AurumShield acts as a standardized data aggregation and gating tool, empowering your compliance team to make faster, more accurate intake decisions.
The platform's documentation requirements are designed to support workflows aligned with the LBMA Responsible Gold Guidance, including responsible sourcing, identity verification, source-of-origin documentation, and audit-ready recordkeeping.
The refinery uploads the independent assay results, which become the definitive settlement basis. Payable weight and purity determination flow through the platform to trigger downstream settlement authorization. The refinery does not need to manage buyer-side capital flows.
Origin attestation, mine-of-origin documentation, export clearances, tax compliance records, responsible sourcing attestations aligned with OECD due diligence expectations, and chain-of-custody evidence from dispatch.
