More and more investors are buying gold and silver bullion. Owning physical wealth like this ensures that you are in possession of a currency that is recognised and valued throughout the world – even in uncertain economic times.
Gold bullion is generally classed as cast or minted gold, according to the method of manufacturing. Cast bars are formed using molten gold, poured into an ingot mould. Minter bars are hand cut from large gold blocks to the required dimensions and usually carry a marking from the refiner.
Gold bars are available in standard sizes, usually weighing 400 oz. The minimum purity required is 99.5% gold, though many will achieve at least 99.99% (or 24 Karat).
There are hundreds of gold refiners throughout the world, but the most reputable manufacturers are accredited by the LBMA (London Bullion Market Association). Australia’s rich gold deposits make it a natural location for refineries and manufacturers, and there is only one LBMA accredited refiner - Western Australian Mint (or The Perth Mint Refinery).
The Perth Mint Refinery trades all over the world, and has trading links with ...
... the London, New York, Tokyo and Dubai financial markets. It currently refines the total annual production of Australian gold, but also sources gold ore from New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Thailand and Malaysia.
The company can treat scrap gold from mines, industrial scrap and jewellers’ lemels, transforming them into high quality gold bars and coins ready for re-sale.
Although there is only one Australian gold refinery, there are many Australian companies trading in Australian bullion and gold from other parts of the world. These companies help first time and experienced investors alike get information about precious metals and their value.
Traders also provide information about the benefits of investing in physical wealth, and the potential for re-sale in the future. If you’re a first-time buyer, take a close look at the manufacturers and refiners that the trader works with. They should be able to demonstrate the top quality of their gold.
Reputable traders will also provide information on how to identify quality bullion, as well as news from the gold market that will help you decide which products to invest in at what time.
