Physical precious metals, traded with discipline.

Mintador buys and sells bullion, doré and refined metal for institutional counterparties. Verified origin, agreed assay, documented settlement — in that order, every time.

The price of metal is public. What is not public is whether a parcel is what it claims to be, whether it can be moved and insured, and whether the money arrives. That is the work.

Precious metals, in non-manufactured form.

Metal as the trade actually moves it — cast, refined, granulated or recovered. Not jewellery, not minted product, not paper.

Au79Gold

The core of the book. Doré from producers, refined bars from accredited refiners, and industrial or jewellery scrap for return to the refinery.

Forms
  • Doré
  • Bullion bars
  • Grain
  • Scrap
Typical fineness
  • 995.0
  • 999.0
  • 999.9
Ag47Silver

Traded in industrial quantity, where premium and logistics matter as much as the metal price. Weight and freight drive the economics.

Forms
  • Bullion bars
  • Grain
  • Scrap
Typical fineness
  • 999.0
  • 999.9
Pt78Platinum

A thinner market than gold, and one that rewards a counterparty who can place metal reliably rather than quickly.

Forms
  • Bullion bars
  • Grain
  • Sponge
Typical fineness
  • 999.5
Pd46Palladium

Volatile, closely tied to industrial demand, and unforgiving of loose settlement terms. Traded selectively and against firm commitments.

Forms
  • Bullion bars
  • Grain
  • Sponge
Typical fineness
  • 999.5

Every trade runs the same sequence.

Nothing advances until the previous step is agreed. It is slower to start and far faster to finish.

  1. Provenance first

    Origin is established before price is discussed. A parcel we cannot evidence is a parcel we decline, regardless of what it is worth.

  2. Assay decides value

    Fine weight comes from an agreed laboratory or refinery, under a sampling protocol both sides accepted in advance.

  3. Terms in writing

    Pricing basis, premium, freight, insurance, delivery point and settlement are documented before metal moves.

  4. Metal under cover

    Parcels travel with specialist carriers, insured to value, under a documented chain of custody from collection to delivery.

  5. Settlement through banks

    Funds move through the banking system between the parties to the trade. No cash settlement, no third-party payments.

  6. A file that survives audit

    Every trade leaves a record a regulator, an auditor or a bank can follow. That record is the asset.

We would rather lose the trade.

Mintador operates inside the UAE anti-money-laundering regime and the DMCC's rules for precious metals. The practical effect is that some business gets refused.

Traceable supply only

Supply chains are mapped as far back as they can be evidenced. Where a route cannot be assessed, the business is declined rather than mitigated.

Counterparties verified

Corporate documents, licences, beneficial ownership and sanctions screening before onboarding, and monitoring throughout the relationship.

Records that can be inspected

Due diligence and transaction records are retained and made available to regulators, auditors and banks on request.

Tell us what you hold, or what you need.

A sentence or two is enough to start. If it is not a trade for us, you will know quickly. If you produce metal rather than buy it, start with the suppliers page.
