A PMT/GGDO or Kimberley Process certificate is issued and secure logistics carry your purchase worldwide.

Common questions

Buying gold & diamonds in Sierra Leone

Is it legal to buy gold from Sierra Leone?+
Yes. Gold may be lawfully bought and exported from Sierra Leone when handled by a licensed dealer and exporter registered with the National Minerals Agency (NMA). Every export is assayed, valued and certified by the Government Gold & Diamond Office (GGDO), with a 3% export duty paid to Government. Universal Champion Mining SL operates under this licensed framework.
How do I know the gold is genuine and pure?+
Before export, all gold is assayed to certify its purity percentage in the presence of the exporter, a Senior Mines Monitoring Officer and a National Revenue Authority customs officer. A certificate is issued stating the weight, purity, licence name and number, and value — your independent guarantee of authenticity.
Are the diamonds conflict-free?+
Yes. Sierra Leone is a full participant in the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS). Every rough diamond parcel we export is sealed at the Precious Minerals Trading Directorate and accompanied by a serial-numbered Kimberley Process certificate confirming the stones are conflict-free and lawfully sourced.
What weights of gold bars can I buy?+
We supply investment-grade gold bars in 1kg, 5kg and larger custom formats, as well as natural nuggets and refined gold dust. Pricing tracks the live London spot price. Contact our desk for current availability and a formal quote.
Do you deliver internationally?+
Yes. We arrange secure, insured worldwide delivery once the lawful export process is complete and the PMT/GGDO or Kimberley Process certification has been issued. We advise buyers on documentation and customs requirements in the destination country.
