Every export now ships as refined 1 kg bullion
Mined here.
Shipped refined.
Licensed Ghanaian gold, bought with our own capital, refined at a GoldBod-approved refinery and exported as 1 kg bullion to institutional offtakers.
We don't sell mines or doré. We sell the 1 kg bar that leaves Ghana with its papers in order, and run every hand-off that gets it there.

From pit to plane
Every bar passes the same stages in the same order. We fund and run each one, so you deal with one capitalised buyer of record from first enquiry to delivery.

Stage 02Aggregate
We buy doré from licensed miners and traders and fund the aggregation ourselves.
Stage 03Refine

Questions
Questions offtakers ask first.
Do you export doré?
No. Doré is refined in Ghana at a GoldBod-approved licensed refinery before shipment. The export product is 1 kg bullion.
Where do purchase funds go?
Funds are remitted through Goldbod under its trading conditions. A typical transfer takes about 48 hours, and funds are then allocated to local purchase.
Do I have to use the Dubai clearance service?
No. XAU Ventures FZE only assists when an offtaker lacks clearance or asks for help. If you clear yourself, you go direct.
Is the bullion LBMA Good Delivery?
We do not claim LBMA Good Delivery accreditation. The refinery and fineness are confirmed in your contract.
Do you sell smaller bars or coins?
No. We supply only 1 kg bullion bars, to institutional offtakers.
