Value Change
Without the beneficiation process, raw materials remain less valuable. Rock remains rock, scrap remains scrap. Our role is not simply to refine, it is to create value. Now, almost 100 years later, Rand Refinery is one of the largest gold refineries in the world.
Since 1920, we have refined nearly 50 000 tons of gold – almost one third of all the gold mined worldwide. Our longstanding history as one of the world’s leading refiners has seen Rand Refinery receive global accreditation, international referee status and ISO certification.
We proudly offer a range of responsible gold Kilo Bars, gold Krugerrands, and gold Minted Bars in various sizes and designs.
About Us
SINCE
1920
We’re not minters nor miners, we are the ones who add value to metals and peoples’ lives. We do this by adding value to the South African economy by turning raw materials into valuable possessions.
Established by the Chamber of Mines of South Africa in 1920, Rand Refinery is one of the largest integrated single-site precious metals refining and smelting complex in the world.
Today, we continuously ensure that the change we facilitate to our raw materials return the greatest value for our suppliers and clients.

At Rand refinery, we identify hidden potential in raw materials, and then refine them to create value for all our clients.
We are beneficiators. Our task is a simple one. To take raw materials and make them more valuable.
We don’t do this through elaborate marketing messages or fancy brochures. We do it through a process that ultimately brings about valuable change.
Our Vision
Our Mission
Our role as beneficiation experts is to ensure that the change we facilitate to the raw materials we are given, return the greatest amount of value for our suppliers and our clients, all the while ensuring a positive influence on everyone and everything around us. We’re driven to create value change.
