Dore

In the vocabulary of the gold trade, Dore means this: Semi-refined gold cast into bars at or near the mine, typically 85 to 95 percent pure, sold to refineries for final refining. For anyone buying or selling gold from Guyana into Dubai, reading this term correctly is the difference between a clean transaction and a costly misunderstanding.

Dore does not stand alone. In a real deal it sits alongside Fineness, Assay and LBMA Spot, and following those connections is how a professional reads an offer from the first quote to final settlement.

In practice you might see it used like this: "The buyer requested AU gold dore bars at 22 carat, CIF Dubai, payment after assay." That is exactly how Dore appears in real Guyana-to-Dubai deals, where value is always confirmed on assayed content rather than a stated figure, and payment follows inspection.

When you deal with us, Dore sits inside a clear procedure: the deal is priced against the LBMA spot, the gold is assayed in Dubai, and settlement is based on the confirmed content, with no large advance payment. As a sourcing organisation with a network of over 1,000 miners, mines, dealers and refiners across Guyana, we use Dore in exactly the sense defined above.

If you see Dore used in a way that does not match this definition, or to push you toward paying fees before inspection, treat it as a warning sign. The right term clarifies a deal; it is never used to obscure one.
