Compliant gold procurement from source to aggregator
WHAT WE OFFER
End-to-end gold buying and compliance services under Ghana's Gold Board regulatory framework.
Gold Purchasing
Kokwa International is licensed to purchase gold directly from GoldBod-licensed miners and Tier 1 buyers. All purchases are conducted at GoldBod's officially published price — making us a trusted, fair partner for the mining community.
Assay & Valuation
Every gold purchase is accompanied by an on-site assay using XRF analysers or precision digital balances — calibrated every 3 months under Ghana Standards Authority certificates. You know exactly what your gold is worth before any transaction is complete.
Receipt & Documentation
We issue GoldBod-prescribed official receipts at the point of every transaction. All purchase and sale records are compiled into monthly reports submitted directly to the Ghana Gold Board.
Secure Gold Storage
Our facility is equipped with a vault, CCTV surveillance, alarm systems, and fire suppression infrastructure — meeting all GoldBod physical security requirements for licensed gold buyers.
AML / KYC Due Diligence
All sellers and buyers are subject to Know Your Customer (KYC), Customer Due Diligence (CDD), and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks — conducted jointly with GoldBod, the Bank of Ghana, and the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC).
Onward Sale to Aggregator
Purchased and documented gold is transferred to our licensed Self-Financing Aggregator partner, Afrimex Gold Limited, for consolidation, GoldBod certification, and export — completing the fully regulated supply chain.
AGGREGATION. EXPORT. FINANCING.
Three integrated processes that form a complete, compliant gold supply chain.
Gold Aggregation
Capital-Backed Aggregation at Source
We operate as a Self-Financing Aggregator — providing the capital liquidity that the grassroots gold sector depends on.
- Pre-finance gold purchases directly from GoldBod-licensed artisanal and small-scale miners (ASMs)
- On-site purchase at GoldBod's officially published price — no undercutting, no exploitation
- Certified XRF assay and precision weighing at point of purchase for full transparency
- Official GoldBod receipt issued immediately to every seller — complete audit trail
- Monthly consolidated transaction reports submitted to the Ghana Gold Board
- Secure vault storage at our licensed premises between aggregation and handover to Afrimex
Export Operations
Compliant Export via Afrimex Partnership
Every gram aggregated by Kokwa International enters the formal export pipeline through our strategic partnership with Afrimex Gold Limited.
- Seamless handover to Afrimex Gold Limited — a GoldBod-licensed Self-Financing Aggregator and Exporter
- All gold accompanied by certified assay documentation and chain-of-custody records
- GoldBod export certification and foreign exchange conversion managed by Afrimex
- Full OECD Due Diligence Guidance compliance — responsible sourcing from mine to market
- Export to established off-takers in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East
- Real-time traceability at every handover point in the supply chain
Capital Financing
Upfront Financing for Licensed Miners
The biggest barrier for ASM miners entering the formal gold sector is access to capital. Kokwa International removes that barrier.
- Upfront purchase financing provided to licensed miners at point of gold delivery
- No waiting periods — miners are paid immediately upon assay and documentation
- Capital structured to support consistent, repeat supply from established mining operations
- Transparent pricing tied 100% to GoldBod's official published rate — no hidden deductions
