Refining precious metals such as scrap gold and silver, scrap jewellery, or even higher grade gold doré requires a process that eliminates unwanted materials and purifies the output, separating valuable gold from other “waste” materials. This task, which plays a pivotal role in the production of investment grade gold and silver bars, is the responsibility of the Refinery.
The responsibilities of our laboratory are gold assaying, metal analysis, and research and development (R&D). Assaying monitors the quality of the metal throughout the refining process, determining the fineness of gold and silver. Gold Souk’s assaying technology includes traditional fire assay as well as spectrometry.
Our smelting department plays an important role in the manufacturing process by either melting fine metal into bars or producing grains from scrap metal for the use of our refinery. Smelting is a critical step in almost all of the services offered by Gold Souk so this department is central to our daily operations.
Gold Souk also produces a wide range of gold bullion bars which are refined up to 999.9, with the purities matching the demand from the market. All bars are subjected to accurate and precise inspections and weighing before they are packaged and dispatched.
To complement refining and smelting, Gold Souk also engages in its own die making. The Die Making & Minting division is equipped with state-of-the-art machinery and uses cutting-edge technology to produce coins, medals, or other customized products. Gold Souk offers a wide variety of designs and shapes with an extensive collection of decorative motifs.
Our technique of separating diamonds and precious stones from gold and silver in finished jewelry provides our clients with a cost-effective way of recycling old jewelry and stock items. Painstaking attention and care is needed to pick each stone after we are able to soften the metal. This is done by a handful of experienced and very patient chemists.
Corporate gifts are an excellent way to start and continue nurturing all your connections and relationships. A gratitude and appreciation gift can keep your company at the top of everyone's mind, while also reminding your employees and clients that you're always by their side and that you care.
