Brokers earned their cut by holding the trust between mine and refinery. We replaced that trust with verifiable infrastructure.
Miners submit license, tax PIN and a geotagged mine site video. Buyers submit company papers, import licence and proof of funds. Approval typically within 72 hours.
Miners list lots with weight, carat, form, photos and an optional in-house assay. Buyers post requests with quantity, minimum purity, handover point and budget.
When both sides agree, the buyer transfers funds to IMTA escrow. The miner ships gold only after escrow is confirmed. No prepayment to strangers, ever.
An accredited lab (Nairobi, Kampala or DMCC Dubai) tests purity. Both sides see the report at the same time. The buyer signs off — or disputes within 48 hours.
Brinks or G4S transports under full insurance. Every handover is signed. Track from mine to vault inside the platform.
We auto-generate the EAC export permit, certificate of origin and customs forms. Funds release the same day assay is signed off.
