Our Gold.
Purity Without
Compromise.
22K alluvial gold hand-panned by licensed cooperatives deep in Cameroon's mineral heartland. Every gram independently assayed, RJC certified, and traceable from pan to delivery.
The Source
Alluvial Gold from
Cameroon's River Basins
Alluvial gold forms over millennia as gold particles erode from ancient bedrock and accumulate in riverbeds and flood plains. Cameroon's central and eastern highlands hold some of West Africa's richest alluvial deposits — largely untapped and free of industrial contamination.
- Hand-panning recovers gold without cyanide, mercury, or heavy machinery — preserving waterways and biodiversity
- River basin deposits in Nkondjock, Batouri, and Lomié regions yield naturally high-grade gold at 22K average purity
- Alluvial gold's natural formation means each grain carries unique isotopic markers — making provenance verifiable and irreproducible
- Cooperative members are trained, licensed, and paid fair wages — eliminating exploitation at the source

Composition
What 22 Karat
Really Means
22K gold contains 91.6% pure gold by weight — the remaining 8.4% consists of naturally occurring trace minerals from the alluvial deposit. This grade is internationally recognised as premium jewellery and investment gold.
