Bale Capital proudly sources and supplies ethically sourced, investment-grade gold to Synthesis
The process of gold sourcing, purchasing, refining, and exportation involves a highly intricate and regulated sequence of activities designed to ensure transparency, ethical compliance, and adherence to international industry standards. These operations encompass the acquisition of gold from various sources, its purification through advanced refining techniques, secure transportation, and compliance with stringent regulatory frameworks that govern the gold trade globally.
Gold is procured from multiple sources, including artisanal and small-scale miners, industrial mining companies, and recycled gold suppliers. Ethical sourcing is paramount, ensuring that all gold acquired complies with international laws, environmental standards, and human rights protocols. The gold supply chain must adhere to established guidelines such as the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, as well as the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
The gold sourcing process must uphold stringent human rights protocols, ensuring that mining activities do not involve exploitative labor practices, including child labor and forced labor. Organizations involved in the supply chain must conduct due diligence to verify that miners and workers operate under fair wage conditions and safe working environments. Compliance with frameworks such as the International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights is essential.
Furthermore, responsible gold mining practices should prioritize community engagement, ensuring that local populations benefit from mining activities through fair trade agreements, infrastructure development, and environmental rehabilitation projects. Companies must also ensure that gold is not sourced from regions where its trade finances armed conflicts or contributes to human rights abuses, aligning with the Conflict-Free Gold Standard.
Ethical gold sourcing also requires strict adherence to environmental protection measures. The use of hazardous chemicals such as mercury and cyanide in artisanal and small-scale mining poses significant risks to ecosystems and human health. Mercury, in particular, is highly toxic and can lead to severe environmental degradation and water contamination. The Minamata Convention on Mercury, a global treaty, aims to eliminate mercury usage in gold mining and promote safer alternatives.
Large-scale mining operations should implement advanced recovery technologies, such as gravity separation and eco-friendly leaching processes, to minimize the environmental footprint. Companies engaged in gold procurement must also ensure compliance with local and international environmental regulations, including proper waste management, land restoration, and sustainable water usage practices.
To mitigate risks associated with illicit gold trade, purchasing entities must conduct comprehensive Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) due diligence procedures. These processes help verify the legitimacy of suppliers, prevent money laundering, and ensure compliance with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) recommendations and national regulatory requirements.
Through its extensive African reach, Bale Capital sources ethically mined and responsibly produced gold. Partnering with LBMA-accredited refineries, the company ensures that all gold is refined, assayed, and transported in strict compliance with domestic and international regulations.

Ensuring that all applicable royalties, value-added taxes (VAT), and export duties are paid in accordance with the fiscal regulations of the sourcing country.
Obtaining the necessary export permits, certificates of origin, and shipping documentation to comply with national and international trade laws.

Stringent KYC and AML Procedures KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) procedures are critical safeguards within Bale Capital’s gold supply chain.
