 Legend Refinery’ Refining Process: From Raw Material to Pure Gold

Our careful refining process is intended to produce maximum purity while adhering to high standards of transparency and environmental responsibility.

1. Receiving and Assessment: Precision from the start.

 Every refining journey begins with a thorough evaluation of the material acquired.  LEGEND REFINERY obtains precious metals globally and works with a wide range of clients:

• Mining Groups: We collaborate with small, local, as well as large and experienced mining firms to source raw gold from mines in various countries.
•  Global Markets: Our clients include precious metal companies and dealers, foreign and local refineries, foreign investors, central banks, and individuals seeking secure refining for high-value assets.
•  Recycled Materials: We purify recycled materials, such as old jewellery and industrial byproducts, to extract maximum value and create a pure, tradable product.

 Our team weighs, inspects, and does an initial purity analysis to determine the best way to refine each material.  We examine the specific features of each item, whether it is raw gold, recycled jewellery, or non-London Good Delivery (LGD) investment bars, to ensure the best possible outcome.

1. Melting and Sampling: Quality Control at Every Stage

 The refining process begins with melting the material in a high-temperature furnace, which allows us to homogenise the metal and remove impurities.  We then sample at various stages to check purity and maintain quality control, guaranteeing that the refined product satisfies the high standards demanded by clients and worldwide markets alike.  All incoming materials, whether doré or recycled, are melted and analysed in our assay laboratory, which uses certified procedures such as fire assay, spectrometric, ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma), X-ray, and chemical assays to ensure the utmost accuracy.

 Our Advanced Melting and Refining Techniques

LEGEND REFINERY offers a range of sophisticated refining procedures that are specific to the kind and purity level necessary for each material.  These technologies enable us to attain purity levels of 91.5% to 97%, and even higher, making our refined gold ideal for a wide range of purposes, from investment to industrial.

Aqua Regia Refining: This technique uses a combination of hydrochloric and nitric acids to dissolve gold and other metals, leaving only pure gold.  Aqua regia refining is especially effective at separating gold from metals like silver and copper, resulting in a refined product that fulfils international purity standards.

Electrolytic Refining: Electrolysis uses an electric current to separate metals based on their electrical charges, resulting in exceptionally high purity.  This strategy is particularly appropriate for gold meant for investment or central banking purposes.

Wet Chemical Parting: Our wet chemical parting technology effectively separates gold from other precious metals, yielding high-purity gold appropriate for international trade.

These processes enable LEGEND REFINERY to consistently offer results that meet the individual needs of our clients, whether they desire gold for investment, banking, or commercial purposes.

  For example, an electronics recycling company may provide circuit boards containing trace levels of gold.  We employ electrolytic refining to extract and purify this gold, resulting in high-purity bullion.

1. Purification and Casting: Producing Marketable Gold Products

Following the refining process, the pure gold is cast in various forms to meet the needs of the client.  Options include:

 Standard gold bars are cast in standard weights such as 1 oz, 100 g, and 1 kilogramme, making them ideal for investors.

Standard Gold Coins: Made of high purity, these coins are perfect for collectors and investors alike.

Custom gold castings are made to fulfil the exact needs of the client for unique investment or commercial goals.

Each bar or product is meticulously constructed to meet LBMA (London Bullion Market Association) specifications, making our gold extremely liquid and easily transacted in worldwide markets.

1. Thorough testing and certification for purity and quality

Before returning gold to clients, we rigorously examine it to ensure its purity and weight.  Each refined product comes with a certificate of assay showing the purity level and gold content, ensuring that our gold satisfies LBMA (London Bullion Market Association) and COMEX requirements.  This certification enables customers to trade or invest in their gold with complete trust in its authenticity and quality.

We operate modern assay laboratories that are ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited.  Each assay is methodically carried out utilising a variety of procedures.

•  Fire Assay: A traditional procedure for determining purity.
•  Spectrometric and ICP analysis: These are high-tech methods used by Legend Refinery for determining metal content.
• X-ray fluorescence test: The XRF machine, also known as the XRF gun, is utilised by Legend to carry out a non-destructive analysis of metal purity.
• Chemical Test: This method involves applying a small drop of nitric acid to a less visible part of the gold item and observing the reaction.
• Magnetic Test: A magnet won’t attract genuine gold and silver since they aren’t magnetic. Legend employs unique magnets to check if an AU METAL is real.

 Our certification method assures complete transparency, and each client receives an assay certificate confirming the purity and metal content of their refined gold.  These certificates ensure that our products satisfy international standards, making them appropriate for trade and investment.

For example, a client brings in jewellery scrap, which we purify and cast into a gold bar.  Following refinement, we give a certificate of assay certifying the bar’s purity, making it appropriate for global markets.
