How to buy cheap and discounted gold from African mining companies?

Many people believe that Africa is filled with cheap, easily accessible gold, simply waiting for foreign buyers to arrive and purchase it at a discount.

Very cheap. Just pay for export taxes and similar.

Nothing of such stories is true.

That is just for naive gold buyers who do not know the real facts.

The facts are that:

1. Genuine gold sourced from major cities tends to be expensive across Africa, primarily due to high demand and regulated markets. However, prices can be more favorable for buyers who are well-established within a country and have cultivated strong local networks and trusted relationships in the trade. Such connections often provide access to better pricing, reliable supply chains, and insider knowledge that newcomers lack.

2. It is unrealistic to expect to acquire gold at a discounted or low price in bulk from Africa if you are located outside the continent. Most gold-producing countries already have well-established networks of local gold traders who dominate the market. As a foreigner or outsider, you would be competing directly with these experienced local players, creating intense market competition. This makes the idea of finding significantly undervalued or cheap gold highly naive and impractical.

3. Only locally licensed dealers and brokers have access to relatively lower-cost gold, as they travel directly to mining sites and provide valuable services to miners. One key benefit is that they eliminate the need for miners to make often difficult and time-consuming trips to town to sell their gold, allowing miners to focus on extraction while ensuring a more efficient and convenient sales process.

4. Local miners typically produce small quantities of gold and sell it through individual, small-scale transactions rather than in bulk. However, if someone is offering gold in large volumes, it usually means they have access to better market channels and know exactly where to secure a favorable price.

5. Large mining companies operate under binding contracts to supply gold to their clients and refineries, and they cannot simply redirect or reroute these shipments—even if alternative buyers are available. These agreements are long-term, legally enforceable obligations that govern the sale and delivery of gold in bulk. As such, they cannot be casually altered or canceled based on new market opportunities or third-party interest. The integrity of their supply chain and contractual commitments takes precedence over ad hoc purchasing proposals.

6. Having a gold buyer is neither an advantage nor a benefit to local gold owners or mining site operators—access to buyers is already universal. The notion of a shortage in gold purchasing options is a myth; we all have gold buyers. Selling gold has never been, and is not now, a problem. The real challenge lies not in finding buyers, but in ensuring fair prices, transparency, and sustainable practices throughout the trade.

7. A significant advantage for local miners arises when gold buyers are willing to pay a premium—such as 10% above the market price—creating a fair and profitable opportunity for miners to sell and export their gold to international markets. This premium not only enhances their income but also supports sustainable mining operations and economic growth within local communities.

8. You will not find genuine gold trading offers on LinkedIn or other lead-generation and trade platforms. These sites are often riddled with misinformation, unverified claims, and unreliable contacts, making them unsuitable for serious business transactions. This is precisely why we have decided to no longer participate on LinkedIn—such platforms lack the credibility and professionalism required for legitimate trade activities.

We are in mining development.

Do you know that all mining companies in the world are pre-financed, either through private shareholders or as public companies or by gold futures or prepaid gold forward contracts, loans and project financing?

The real gold once produced in Tanzania is sold to local buyers, who are good buyers, paying very well on well demanded market, it is 97% to 99% price paid out in cash, on the spot.

Export requires 4% additionally for royalties plus 1% insurance plus transport expenses. Some rare buyers in Dar es Salaam pay premium prices 5% and some rare buyers in Dubai pay 10% premium price.

If your buyer wish to pay premium price such as 10% on top of gold price, we can always arrange business. Contact us to buy the premium priced gold.

If not then the buyer must be aware that he is not even considered buyer for our local purposes, as there is just nobody who is going to export gold for some prices below the spot.

Why in the world we would sell gold below the spot, or discounted like 5% - 10%, if we can sell that same gold locally within one hour, for cash, on the spot, on the table, no questions asked?!

We can sell gold locally once it is available for extra good price. No other buyer in outside countries can beat local prices due to the above facts.
