For miners

Keep 8–14% more
of every gram you mine.

Skip the 2–4 brokers between your shaft and the refinery. List direct, get paid in days not months, and post a Deal anytime you need cash fast.

The Deal feature

Need cash fast? Post a Deal.

Equipment broke. School fees due. Loan repayment Friday. Choose how you want to move your gold quickly — without losing the protection of escrow.

Discount Deal
Fixed price · first-come

Set a price below spot. The first verified buyer to claim it wins. Fastest way to convert gold to cash — usually filled within hours.

Best when: Best when you know exactly how much cash you need and you don't want to wait.

Live Auction
Timed · highest bid wins

Set a starting price and a closing time (4h to 7 days). Verified buyers bid up. You're guaranteed at least the starting price; you usually get more.

Best when: Best when you have a day or two and want competitive bidding to push the price up.

Selling on IMTA in 5 steps

  1. 01

    Apply & complete KYC

    Upload your mining licence, tax PIN and a short geotagged video of the mine site. Our team verifies within 72 hours.

    Cooperatives, SACCOs and family operations welcome. Minimum: licence valid in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, DRC or Burundi.

  2. 02

    List a lot — or post a Deal

    Standard listing: set your price and wait for offers. Need cash now? Post a Discount Deal (fixed price, first-come) or open an Auction (verified buyers bid).

    Add weight, carat, form, photos and an optional in-house assay. The platform shows your price next to live LBMA spot.

  3. 03

    Buyer pays into escrow

    When a buyer accepts, their funds move into IMTA escrow before you ship anything. No more shipping on a promise.

    You'll see a confirmed escrow lock notification. Only then do you arrange handover.

  4. 04

    Insured shipping + independent assay

    Brinks or G4S collects from the nearest hub. An accredited lab tests purity. Both you and the buyer see the report.

    Shipping insurance is included. Assay fee is only paid if a dispute is opened.

  5. 05

    Get paid — same day

    Once the buyer signs off (usually within 24h of assay), funds release to your bank, mobile money or stablecoin wallet. Flat 1.8% fee, nothing else.

    Mobile money supported: M-Pesa (KE), MTN MoMo (UG), Airtel Money. Bank transfer in KES, UGX, TZS, USD or EUR.
