Sell gold from South Africa.

Gold production in South Africa

South Africa hosts the world's deepest gold mines and the Witwatersrand Basin — still the richest gold deposit ever found. Though production has declined from its peak, South Africa remains a top-10 global producer with world-class mining infrastructure.

South African gold — whether from industrial mines, artisanal operations, or licensed dealers — is in active demand from institutional buyers in Asia and the Gulf. The key requirement is proper export documentation: an independent assay certificate, mineral export permit from the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy, and chain of custody records. With those in place, a transaction can close in 10 business days.

How to sell your south african gold internationally

Selling gold from South Africa to an international buyer requires two parallel tracks: export compliance and buyer qualification. On the export side, you need an independent assay, a mineral export permit from the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy, and a specialist carrier arrangement (Brinks, Malca-Amit, or Loomis). On the buyer side, you need a counterparty who is funded, compliant, and capable of completing the transaction through a formal settlement structure.

OnePiece handles the buyer side. We maintain relationships with institutional gold buyers in Malaysia — licensed bullion dealers, refineries, and family offices — who are actively acquiring African gold. When you have export-ready supply, we match it with an active buyer mandate, facilitate the documentation exchange, and support the transaction through to close.

We do not charge sellers. We do not ask for advance fees, soft proof of product, or photographs of cash. If you have south african gold and a legitimate export permit, WhatsApp us and we will respond within hours.
