REFINE WITH CONFIDENCE
OUR STORY
Located within the Central Bank Building in South Sudan, Aurum Refinery Co LTD was established in 2024 to offer assaying services to enable the exportation of precious metals.
Assaying
The Aurum Refinery laboratory’s independent certification of its assay process maximises client value because it guarantees consistently accurate data on every refining batch.
TECHNOLOGY
The oldest and most assuring method to determine the purity is the Fire Assay (Cupellation) method. The Cupellation method is still giving greater precision than many methods being developed.
- Fire & Wet Chemical Assays
- Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectrometry (ICP) analysis
- Arc/Spark Optical Emission Spectrometry analysis
- X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Spectrometry analysis
receipt & sampling
receipt
Upon receipt of the shipment at its premises, Aurum Refinery inspects received packaging for damage as evidence of tampering. It also records the number of parcels received, their total weight and other contingent non-conformities. After unpacking, the incoming material is weighed again, electronically photographed, given a description and formally entered on the proprietary ABC Refinery ERP system.
mELTING & HOMOGENISATION
Aurum Refinery conducts a controlled melting process that minimises melt loss to maximise return. The received material is then homogenised utilising the latest in international homogenisation methods.
SAMPLING
Aurum Refinery produces dual blind homogenous samples of all melted input to ensure precise quantification of the precious metal content at the time of assay. Specimen samples are retained by Aurum Refinery for 3 months post financial out-turn and recorded on the proprietary Aurum Refinery ERP system for ultimate assurance.
