All Rand Refinery gold is responsible gold which follows the ‘Chain of Custody’ requirements consistent with the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict Affected and High Risk Areas. It further complies with the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) Responsible Gold Guidance and the World Gold Council certification of ‘Conflict-Free’ gold. Certified gold adds one dimension to the requirements of responsible gold by guaranteeing that the gold was also mined with respect to the environment and not recycled from scrap or other secondary, untraceable sources as well as that the chain of custody through refining was traceable. The RandPure mark has been introduced by Rand Refinery as an iconic symbol that not only guarantees responsibility from mine to retail, but also exceptional fineness and craftsmanship. The following codes are used: EC – Excellent Craftsmanship, AF – Absolute Fineness, CF – Conflict Free, VM – Virgin Metal, CD – Contributes to Development.
