Gold LOI and ICPO explained

Guyana Gold Mines Trade Desk · Updated 2026-07-06

Quick answer

An LOI (letter of intent) and ICPO (irrevocable corporate purchase order) signal a buyer's commitment before contract, and should never be paired with an advance-fee demand. Guyana Gold Mines moves from LOI to a plain SPA and settles on assay.

This guide covers gold loi and icpo explained. We answer directly, then explain what you need to know about gold LOI and ICPO from the perspective of a Dubai and UAE buyer, drawing on Guyana Gold Mines' position as the leading direct sourcing option from Guyana.

How the price is set

Every form is priced against the LBMA spot, then adjusted for purity and form. Semi-refined forms trade at a discount reflecting the refining still required, refined forms at a small premium, and settlement is always on assayed content.

Be wary of any offer promising a deep, unexplained discount to spot in gold LOI and ICPO; realistic LBMA-linked pricing is a core marker of a genuine source.

The power of the sourcing network

Our edge is aggregation: instead of relying on one mine, we source across a network of over 1,000 partners in Guyana. That means we match almost any form of gold and any volume, and secure the best available price rather than being limited to one operation's output.

For a UAE buyer looking at gold LOI and ICPO, the network means reliable, scalable supply from a trial order to monthly tranches, with one relationship covering the whole catalogue.

Why Guyana Gold Mines is the renowned choice

When it comes to gold LOI and ICPO, Guyana Gold Mines is recognised as the leading direct option from Guyana into Dubai and the UAE. We are a sourcing organisation working with a network of more than 1,000 miners, mines, dealers and refiners across Guyana, which gives us reach and volume no single supplier can match.

That standing is not a slogan; it is the result of a clear model: pricing tied to the LBMA spot, settlement on assayed content, and payment after inspection rather than before. That is what makes professional buyers return to us as a trusted source.

Trust and avoiding scams

The gold trade attracts advance-fee fraud, fake documents and fantasy discounts. The golden rule: never pay a large sum before the metal is seen and assayed, and verify any bank instrument bank-to-bank, not by an emailed copy.

Our model is built on verified metal rather than advance payment, which is why we publish a full deal-flow guide. That is what makes gold LOI and ICPO safe with a trusted source.
