Gold Trading
VOB Coopers provides comprehensive gold trading services to institutional buyers, refineries, and partners across international markets, facilitating transactions that meet the highest standards of transparency and reliability.
Our sourcing operations follow responsible supply chain frameworks aligned with OECD guidelines and verified origin standards, ensuring every ounce of gold we trade can be traced back to legitimate, licensed sources. We maintain real-time pricing systems that reflect international LBMA benchmarks and market movements, providing our clients with competitive rates based on current spot prices and transparent margin structures.
Each transaction is executed through structured contracts that clearly define terms, specifications, delivery schedules, and payment conditions, while our rigorous quality verification processes confirm gold purity, weight, and authenticity before any transfer of ownership. Settlement processes are secure and efficient, utilizing internationally recognized payment methods including Letters of Credit and bank transfers that protect both buyer and seller interests throughout the transaction lifecycle.
Complete Gold Value Chain Services:
VOB Coopers operates as a fully licensed international gold exporter, holding all necessary permits and authorizations from Ghana’s Minerals Commission, Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC), and relevant regulatory authorities. Our export activities comply comprehensively with global trade regulations including international sanctions screening, conflict minerals protocols, and anti-money laundering requirements, as well as specific import regulations of destination countries.
We maintain strong relationships with customs authorities and regulatory bodies in both Ghana and receiving nations, ensuring smooth cross-border movement of precious metals. All shipments are accompanied by complete documentation packages including export permits, certificates of origin, assay certificates, commercial invoices, packing lists, insurance certificates, and tax clearance documents. Our buyers receive fully traceable deliveries with chain-of-custody documentation that demonstrates compliance with international standards including the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) Responsible Gold Guidance and Swiss Better Gold Initiative requirements, providing the transparency and legitimacy required for entry into premium global markets.
Gold Smelting and Assaying
Our state-of-the-art smelting facilities are equipped to refine raw gold, alluvial gold, gold dust, and dore bars into standardized export-grade bars that meet international specifications for purity and form. Our refining processes utilize advanced metallurgical techniques including cupellation, electrolytic refining, and chemical purification to systematically remove impurities such as silver, copper, iron, and other base metals, achieving gold purity levels ranging from 99.5% to 99.99% depending on client requirements and market specifications.
Our ISO-accredited assaying laboratory employs certified testing procedures including fire assay—the gold standard for precious metals analysis—as well as X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy and other analytical methods to verify the precise weight, fineness, and gold content of every batch processed. Each assay generates detailed certificates documenting composition, purity percentages, and conformity to specifications, supporting accurate valuation for trade execution, providing documentation required for regulatory clearance and export permits, and giving buyers confidence in the quality and authenticity of their purchases. Our quality control systems ensure consistency, traceability, and compliance with international refining standards.
Gold Vaulting and Storage
VOB Coopers operates secure vaulting facilities designed specifically for precious metals storage, providing institutional clients, mining companies, and private investors with reliable custody solutions that protect their gold holdings. Our facilities feature multiple layers of physical security including reinforced vault construction, controlled access systems with biometric authentication, 24/7 surveillance with redundant camera systems, intrusion detection alarms, and armed security personnel maintaining constant vigilance.
We implement strict inventory control procedures with regular reconciliation, segregated storage arrangements that keep each client’s holdings separate and individually identifiable, and comprehensive insurance coverage protecting against theft, loss, or damage. Detailed custody records document every deposit, withdrawal, and inventory movement, supporting full transparency and audit readiness for clients’ accounting, compliance, and reporting requirements.
Our storage services accommodate various holding periods from short-term transit storage to long-term investment custody, with flexible access arrangements allowing clients to physically inspect, test, or retrieve their gold as needed while maintaining the security and integrity of the overall facility.
Gold Transit and Transportation
VOB Coopers manages end-to-end secure gold transportation services across approved logistics routes connecting mining sites, our facilities, airports, ports, and international destinations. Our transit operations are built on strict chain-of-custody protocols that document every handover, movement, and location change from initial collection to final delivery, ensuring complete accountability throughout the journey.
We utilize specialized secure transport vehicles equipped with GPS tracking, tamper-evident sealing systems, and communication equipment enabling real-time monitoring of shipment location and status. Each movement is escorted by trained security personnel and follows pre-approved routes with contingency plans for various risk scenarios.
Comprehensive risk management covers route planning that avoids high-risk areas, security assessments evaluating threats along transit corridors, insurance coverage for full shipment value, and coordination with law enforcement when necessary.
All transportation activities comply with national and international regulations governing precious metals movement, dangerous goods handling (where applicable), and cross-border transit requirements. Documentation accompanies every shipment providing proof of origin, ownership, quantity, and destination, while delivery integrity verification procedures confirm seals remain intact and contents match original specifications, protecting our clients’ assets
