Gold Coast Refinery receives international certification

Gold Coast Refinery Limited has been certified to the Code of Practices of the Responsible Jewelry Council (RJC).

It thus becomes the first gold refinery in Ghana and West Africa to be certified to the Code of Practices of the RJC, an affiliate of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) responsible for the jewelleries and watches industry.

Gold Coast Refinery was recently handed the right to mint the Asantehene’s commemorative gold coin.

RJC is the leading standards authority in the global watch and jewellery industry and works with members worldwide to create a sustainable supply chain.By this measure, Gold Coast Refinery is now a certified member of the council for a three-year duration.

The Chairman of Gold Coast Refinery, Dr Said Deraz, commented: “Achieving RJC Code of Practices certification is a continuous improvement process that requires time and investment

All the members of the Gold Coast Refinery team have worked tirelessly to prepare for the rigorous third-party audit”.

A statement by Gold Coast Refinery said the company was “excited to begin this new chapter of becoming the premium gold refinery on the continent and client’s refinery of choice as this will enable Ghana gold buyers to source gold from responsible miners and also refine the gold before export and trade exit”.
