A plain-language explainer
How raw gold trading works
Gold recovered from mining is rarely pure. Before it can be valued, its actual gold content must be measured by an independent assayer. Bullion Bridge Gold trades only on those verified results, and only once due diligence on the counterparty and the origin of the gold is complete.
What is raw gold?
