General Questions

01. What services does Dutch Courage Refinery provide?

DCR specializes in same-day/next-day gold smelting and partners with LBMA-accredited refineries for high-purity (99.99%) gold refining. We handle everything from raw doré to market-ready gold.

We offer:

  • Faster initial processing (smelting done same/next day)

  • Simplified logistics (single point of contact)

  • Competitive rates through our refinery partnerships

  • Full documentation from smelting to final refining

We only work with LBMA-accredited refineries that meet the highest international standards. You’ll receive certified assay reports at each stage of the process.

Yes. We handle all necessary documentation including:

  • OECD due diligence

  • Assay certification

Customer Feedback

Reliable & Fast Smelting – Perfect for Urgent Orders!

We've worked with several smelters, but DCR stands out. Their same-day smelting is a game-changer when we need quick turnaround. They handle logistics seamlessly and always provide clear assay reports. Highly recommended for African gold suppliers who value speed and transparency.
Gold Supplier

Consistent Purity, Zero Hassles

I’ve been selling refined gold to European buyers for years, and DCR’s product always meets LBMA specs. Their assay certificates are recognized worldwide, which eliminates disputes with my clients. The 5–7 day refining time is worth the quality.
International Gold Trader

Trustworthy Partner for High-Volume Refining

As a large-scale doré supplier, we need a refinery that can handle consistent volumes without delays. DCR’s LBMA-certified refining partners deliver 99.99% purity every time, and their team manages documentation flawlessly. No surprises—just reliable results.
Mining Company Representative

From Doré to Export-Ready Gold in One Place

DCR’s end-to-end service saved us months of coordination. They smelted our raw gold in 24 hours, refined it through their partners, and handled all export paperwork. For African miners looking to bypass middlemen, this is the solution.
Mine Owner

Ethical Sourcing Made Simple

DCR’s due diligence process is thorough but efficient. They helped us align with OECD standards while offering competitive rates. Other refineries cut corners, but DCR ensures compliance without slowing down payments. A rare find in this industry.
Regional Gold Exporter

Transparent Pricing, No Hidden Fees

After bad experiences with other refiners, DCR’s upfront fee structure was refreshing. They explained every cost (smelting, refining, logistics) before we started, and the final product matched exactly what was promised. Will use them for every shipment.
