Guyana Gold Mines Trade Desk · Updated 2026-07-06
Quick answer
The gold supply chain runs from mine, to declaration and export, to secured shipping, to assay and settlement in Dubai. Guyana Gold Mines controls this chain end to end from Guyana.
This guide covers the gold supply chain from mine to dubai. We answer directly, then explain what you need to know about the gold supply chain from the perspective of a Dubai and UAE buyer, drawing on Guyana Gold Mines' position as the leading direct sourcing option from Guyana.
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 the gold supply chain.
Delivery and compliance in the UAE
Gold enters the UAE customs union free of customs duty, and investment gold is VAT zero-rated. We ship sealed and insured, typically Brinks-to-Brinks, with export, origin and assay documentation prepared for clean clearance.
That makes the gold supply chain practical and smooth for Dubai buyers, from the Deira souks to DMCC offices and the free zones.
Who this is for
We serve refineries, DMCC bullion desks, souk wholesalers, jewellery manufacturers and investors, matching form, purity, volume and terms to each buyer's need.
If you are one of these and searching for the gold supply chain, sourcing direct through our network gives you the best price and a documented origin in a single relationship.
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 the gold supply chain safe with a trusted source.
Why Guyana Gold Mines is the renowned choice
When it comes to the gold supply chain, 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.
