Where the gold is
Nigeria's gold sits in two schist belts (bands of old rock): the north-west, from Zamfara and Kebbi through Niger and Kaduna, and the south-west, through Kwara, Oyo and Osun to Kogi. Most of it is mined by hand, in small workings, by people who sell the same day.
Before you sell to us
- What you will need: a valid small-scale mining lease or mining lease (or, where the Ministry permits, gold won under an exploration licence), or membership of a registered mining cooperative; a government-issued identification such as your NIN slip, voter's card or driver's licence; and a bank account in your own name. We can tell you how to open one with your NIN, and payment can go to your registered cooperative's account if you prefer.
- Price: the London benchmark less a discount we will publish at every buying centre and on this site before the first purchase.
- Assay: free, done in front of you. If the field test and the refinery test differ, the refinery certificate decides, and you will see it.
- Payment: by bank transfer, never cash. An advance on the day; the balance within an agreed number of days of the refinery certificate.
- First centres: states and dates will be published here once the licence applications are lodged.

Hausa summary; a native speaker will review it before the first buying centre opens.
How buying centres will be placed
Where registered cooperatives and licensed small-scale miners already work, and where a bank branch, a road and mobile coverage make same-day transfer payment and insured collection possible. Each centre will show its registration and licence number on its sign once issued.
