Gold, from mine to market

The gold sector’s public information, consolidated in one place.

Public information about gold is published in registers, gazettes, standards, investigations and local reports that rarely sit together. The Gold Hub puts that evidence in one place around mines, companies, countries, rules and supply chains, so you can inspect what is known, follow the links between it, and see the source and date behind each entry.

Where the evidence comes from

The gold sector’s scattered public knowledge, gathered into one place and put in order.

No single publisher sees the whole gold system. Registers identify people and places. Rules define obligations. Investigations test what formal sources leave out. The Hub keeps each source’s scope visible rather than treating them as one answer.

Who and where

Refiner and market registersWho is listed, approved or suspended at the market end of the chain.
Mine and community registriesWhere mining is documented, and how coverage differs by place and source.

Rules and commitments

Standards bodiesWhat a scheme requires, where it applies and what it leaves outside its scope.
Binding regulationWhat a rule requires, who it applies to and when it changed.
National official journalsRules and decisions issued where gold is mined and traded.
Convention secretariatsCommitments and decisions around mercury, due diligence and trade.

Action and scrutiny

Check the part of the gold system you work in.

Choose the question first. The Hub will show the public sources it holds, the connections they support and the limits of what they establish.

Source gold responsibly

Check a refiner, compare assurance schemes and see which public sources name a counterparty.

Assess a country or programme

Read a country’s rules in context, then see the initiatives and institutions public sources connect to it.

What makes a claim usable

See what the sources support, and where they do not.

The Hub separates what one source says from what several independent sources support. When sources conflict, it shows the conflict rather than make it disappear.

Gaps are named too. A missing link, source or location is part of the picture.

How the evidence is assessed
Help improve the picture

Tell the Hub what the public sources are missing.

Send a source, a correction or a question. Additions are assessed against the same public-source and evidence rules as the rest of the Hub.
