Gold Granules
Granulated refined material for manufacturing and further processing
Granules are refined gold in small cast particles, supplied in lots rather than as individually identified items, which changes how sampling, weighing and documentation are handled.
- Form
- Granulated particles supplied in lots
- Identification
- Lot-level identifier and packing record
- Packaging
- Sealed lots where agreed
- Handling basis
- Lot sampling and recorded weights
What the product is
Granulation produces material that can be weighed out and melted in convenient quantities, which is why it is commonly used by manufacturers and by facilities carrying out further processing.
Because granules are handled as a lot rather than as a numbered item, lot control, sampling procedure and packaging integrity carry the identification role that a serial number performs for a bar.
Purity and fineness considerations
Fineness applies to the lot as sampled. A homogeneous melt supports a lot-level figure, which is why the melting and granulation procedure matters to the reliability of the result.
The applicable figure for any delivery is the one recorded in the documentation issued for that lot.
Weight considerations
Lot weight is recorded at packing and can be re-verified at receipt. Packaging seals and packing records support reconciliation between dispatch and delivery weights.
Verification requirements
- Lot sampling and assay with recorded method and date.
- Weight verification at packing and, where agreed, at receipt.
- Independent verification where a counterparty's procedure requires it.
Documentation
- Lot assay record.
- Packing list and weight record.
- Seal records where tamper-evident packaging is used.
- Laboratory or refinery documentation where applicable.
Refining considerations
Granules are a refined output. Where a specific fineness or alloy requirement applies, it is agreed before processing so that the refining route and documentation can be set accordingly.
Logistics considerations
Packaging integrity is central to lot-based products in transit, so sealing, handling and chain-of-custody records are planned alongside transport, insurance and customs documentation.
Who this may be relevant to
- Jewellery and component manufacturers
- Facilities carrying out further processing
- Counterparties requiring divisible quantities rather than fixed bar weights
How enquiries are handled
Enquiries should state the fineness required, lot sizing, destination and documentation requirements. Availability and final specifications are transaction-specific and subject to verification.
Commercial terms are discussed directly with qualified counterparties and depend on product specifications, transaction structure, documentation, logistics and other relevant requirements. No prices, fees or indicative values are published on this website.
Discuss this requirement
Send your specification, destination, verification preference and documentation requirements, and we will confirm what can be supported.
