Uganda's most trusted refinery — transparent pricing, fastest turnaround, and LBMA-standard purity guaranteed.
When you bring your gold to a middleman or informal dealer, you pay a hidden price — in undervalued assessments, opaque pricing, slow settlements, and no paper trail. Uganda's artisanal and small-scale miners lose hundreds of millions of dollars annually this way.
At Oasis Gold Refinery, we eliminate every point of leakage. We assess your material using internationally-certified fire assay methods (accurate to ±0.01%), price it directly at the LBMA London Gold Fix benchmark, and settle the same day — in cash, bank transfer, or mobile money.
We are not a dealer marking up your gold for resale. We are a full-service refinery that transforms raw material into investment-grade 999.9 bullion and exports it directly to international markets — passing the value back to you at every step.
Our compliance framework — OECD 5-step due diligence, ICGLR Regional Certification, and full AML/KYC documentation — means your gold carries a clean, verifiable chain of custody that commands premium prices on global markets. Your gold is worth more here.
Every consignment is priced at the LBMA London Gold Fix — the same benchmark used by the world's largest bullion banks. No hidden spreads. No arbitrary valuations. You see the live rate, the purity, and the exact calculation before you sign anything.
XRF pre-screening in 60 seconds. Fire assay results in 4–6 hours. Full refining in 24–48 hours. Same-day settlement from the moment your assay is confirmed. No queues, no delays — your capital is not idle at Oasis.
By cutting out intermediary dealers, miners and small-scale producers working directly with Oasis typically receive 5–12% more for their gold compared to selling through a middleman. We pay for every gram at its true refined value.
Our dual-method assay — XRF for rapid screening and fire assay for certified accuracy — eliminates disputes. Fire assay is accurate to ±0.01%. Every result is signed, sealed, and backed by referee samples retained for 90 days.
From the moment your gold enters our facility, it is photographed, weighed, sealed, and registered with a unique consignment number. Every handler is logged. Every process is timestamped. The complete chain is documented and available to you.
Our Kampala facility operates under 24/7 CCTV surveillance, biometric access control, a certified vault, and armed escort partnerships for client collection and delivery. Your gold is insured from intake through to delivery.
Oasis operates under the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains, ICGLR Regional Certification, and Uganda's FIA Act 2013. Your gold carries a conflict-free certificate that satisfies European, American, and Gulf buyers.
We handle the full export pipeline — DGSM permits, URA declarations, UEPB certification, Entebbe airport logistics, and international courier — all managed in-house, saving you weeks of administrative complexity.

Clients are welcome to watch the entire assay process — from sample preparation and cupellation through to the final weighing. No black boxes. No surprises. What you see is what you get, and what you get is verifiable.
Oasis Gold holds a valid DGSM refinery licence from Uganda's Directorate of Geological Survey and Mines. Every shipment leaving our facility carries a government-registered export permit and UEPB certificate.
We disclose upfront whether we are buying your gold or refining it for return. Our assayers are independent of our trading desk — the person determining your gold's purity has no financial interest in the result.
Settlement is processed the same day assay results are confirmed — via bank transfer, mobile money (MTN/Airtel), or cash for qualifying amounts. You leave the facility with your funds, not a promise.
Client consignment data — weight, purity, and settlement values — is strictly confidential. Our facility operates under a non-disclosure policy. We never reveal one client's trading activity to another.
Our processes are aligned with LBMA Good Delivery Rules, OECD Guidance on Responsible Supply Chains, and the ICGLR Regional Certification Mechanism — the same standards required by European refineries and Gulf bullion traders.
Bring your gold to Oasis — or reach out to our team to discuss your consignment, arrange an assessment, or schedule a facility visit. Transparent pricing. Same-day settlement. No middlemen.
