Italian precious-metals refiner founded 1977 at Arezzo, seated at Capolona, with further sites at Vicenza and Valenza, over 100 employees and three plants. Its main plant runs 13 incineration furnaces and 4 melting furnaces with annual capacity above 2,000 t of ashes, 220 t of pure gold, over 400 t of silver and over 5 t of PGMs. Share capital EUR 14,000,000. On the LBMA Good Delivery List for gold since 12 August 2014 (refinery Capolona, bar mark "TCA Precious Metals Refining"). RJC member since August 2016, COP certificate 0000 5784 and Chain of Custody C0000 7205. Named in the Swiss Precious Metals Transparency Platform's 2024 supplier map as a named party for recycled gold from Italy, which is consistent with its own account of its feed.

Entry details
Role, as stated
LBMA Good Delivery gold refiner whose feed is SECONDARY material — its name means "treatment of gold- and silver-bearing ashes". Full-cycle refiner, trader and investment-bar producer for the Arezzo goldsmithing district. Typed `refinery` because it is an accredited Good Delivery refiner, not because it processes newly mined dore, which no source describes it doing.
