Purity, fineness and assay
Gold Bullion typically runs at 99.5%+ Au (investment grade), equivalent to a fineness of about 995+. Natural and semi-refined gold varies lot to lot, which is exactly why the deal is settled on assay rather than on a headline number. Nobody serious pays a fixed price for an unverified purity.
We verify content using Refinery certificate, XRF. Fire assay remains the reference method for settlement because it measures the actual gold recovered from a representative sample; XRF gives a fast surface reading for cross-checking. On arrival in Dubai the buyer, or a mutually agreed assayer, confirms the content, and the final invoice is calculated from that figure.
This assay-first approach protects both sides. You never overpay for material that under-assays, and we are paid fairly for material that meets or exceeds expectations. It is the standard the UAE's refineries and bullion desks already work to.
Sourced from Guyana's regulated mines
Our bullion originates in Cuyuni-Mazaruni. Guyana's gold sector is regulated by the Guyana Gold Board and the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission, which oversee declaration, export permits and the licensing of dealers and miners. That framework is the backbone of the documentation you receive.
Sourcing from a single, regulated origin country is a deliberate contrast to the anonymous, mixed-origin dore that fuels much of the negative news around the global gold trade. With Guyana Gold Mines, the chain of custody runs from a known region, through the Gold Board export procedure, to your assay in Dubai, and it is documented at every step.
What is Gold Bullion?
Gold Bullion is investment-grade bullion bars from 100 g to 12.5 kg, sourced from gold mined in Guyana and supplied by Guyana Gold Mines to buyers in Dubai and across the United Arab Emirates. We work with a network of more than 1,000 miners, mines, dealers and refiners throughout Guyana, which lets us aggregate supply, match almost any volume and secure the best available price. It sits in the core part of our catalogue and typically assays around 100% gold, within a working range of 99.5%+ Au.
Because it comes straight from the source, bullion is priced and settled on its real, assayed gold content rather than on a fixed retail figure. That matters to professional buyers, who are paying for metal, not for branding. The material is drawn from Cuyuni-Mazaruni, and each consignment carries the Guyana Gold Board export documentation that lets an importer classify and clear it cleanly in the UAE.
Whether you are a refinery buying feedstock, a trader building monthly volume or a manufacturer securing supply, this page sets out exactly what gold bullion is, how it is priced, how it ships to Dubai and how to buy it safely.
