Quick answer
POP evidences the seller's gold and POF the buyer's ability to pay, but neither replaces physical assay before settlement. Guyana Gold Mines relies on inspection and assay in Dubai, not paperwork alone.
This guide covers gold proof of product (pop) and proof of funds (pof). We answer directly, then explain what you need to know about gold proof of product and proof of funds from the perspective of a Dubai and UAE buyer, drawing on Guyana Gold Mines' position as the leading direct sourcing option from Guyana.
Why Guyana Gold Mines is the renowned choice
When it comes to gold proof of product and proof of funds, 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 proof of product and proof of funds safe with a trusted source.
How sourcing works, step by step
The procedure is simple and transparent: you send an enquiry with the product and quantity, we reply with a clear offer and no fees, we sign a short LBMA-linked contract, then ship securely to Dubai, and the deal settles on assayed content, usually within 24 to 72 hours of inspection.
There is no large advance payment at any step. That order, inspection first then payment, is the heart of safe dealing in gold proof of product and proof of funds.
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 proof of product and proof of funds; realistic LBMA-linked pricing is a core marker of a genuine source.
