Responsible Sourcing
Sourcing that can withstand diligence.
Responsible, traceable sourcing is not a footnote here — it is the foundation of our credibility. Our approach is aligned to internationally recognised due-diligence standards.
Quantum Alliance sources high-grade gold in Africa exclusively through licensed, documented channels. We align our diligence to the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas and to the principles of the LBMA Responsible Gold Guidance, layered with anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorist-financing controls.
We do not publish source countries, routes or counterparties. This page describes our principles; operational detail is shared with regulators and qualified counterparties under appropriate confidentiality.
