Why Secure Gold Storage is a Smart Investment Strategy in Ghana

by with No Comment gold

For many in Ghana, gold is not just a commodity; it’s a primary store of wealth and a family legacy. While keeping gold close to home is traditional, it comes with significant risks. Secure, professional storage is the modern solution for protecting your assets.

The Risks of Home Storage
Storing gold at home makes it vulnerable to theft, loss, or even environmental damage like humidity and fire. Furthermore, it offers no insurance coverage, meaning a loss is permanent.

The Benefits of Professional Vault Storage

  1. Maximum Security: Professional vaults feature 24/7 monitoring, advanced alarm systems, and controlled access.
  2. Full Insurance: Your assets are insured against theft, loss, and damage, giving you complete peace of mind.
  3. Privacy and Discretion: Your holdings are completely confidential.
  4. Professional Handling: Your gold is stored in a stable, controlled environment that preserves its condition.

What to Look for in a Storage Provider
When choosing a storage partner, ensure they have:

  • A proven security infrastructure.
  • A valid operating license.
  • Clear insurance policies.
  • A reputation for trust and reliability.

At Depthore, we offer state-of-the-art, insured vaults for this exact purpose. As a fully licensed gold company, we provide the highest level of protection for your most valuable assets. Secure your legacy today. Inquire about our gold storage solutions to rest easy knowing your investment is safe.

What is Gold Assaying? The Key to Unlocking Your Gold’s True Value

by with No Comment gold

If you own gold, you’ve probably heard the term “assaying.” But what exactly is it, and why is it so critical? In simple terms, gold assaying is the process of determining the precise purity and composition of a gold item.

Why is Assaying So Important?
Without a professional assay, you are essentially guessing your gold’s value. Assaying provides a scientific analysis that protects you from selling your gold for less than it’s worth. It is the foundation of a fair and honest transaction.

How Does the Gold Assaying Process Work?
At a certified facility like Depthore, the process is meticulous:

  1. Sample Taking: A small, representative sample is carefully taken from your gold.
  2. Laboratory Analysis: The sample is analyzed using advanced methods, often fire assay, which is considered the industry standard for accuracy.
  3. Purity Determination: The analysis reveals the exact karat or fineness of the gold (e.g., 22 karats, 95% purity).
  4. Transparent Report: You receive a clear explanation of the results, which directly determines the final valuation.

The Depthore Assurance
Our assaying lab is staffed by GOLDBOD certified professionals and uses precise technology. We believe in complete transparency, so you will see exactly how your gold’s value is calculated before you decide to sell.

Don’t leave your investment to chance. Get your gold professionally assayed to ensure you receive its full market value.

How to Sell Your Gold in Ghana Safely and Get the Best Value

by with No Comment goldUncategorized

Thinking of selling gold in Ghana? It’s crucial to navigate the process wisely to ensure both your safety and a fair price. Here’s a simple guide to doing it right.

1. Know What You Have
Before you sell, try to have a basic idea of your gold’s weight and purity. This knowledge is your first step toward a fair transaction.

2. Choose a Licensed Buyer
This is the most important step. Always work with a company that is licensed by the Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC – Goldbod). This license is your guarantee that the buyer operates legally and adheres to strict national standards, protecting you from fraud.

3. Get a Professional Assay
A professional assayer will determine the exact purity and weight of your gold. Never sell based on sight alone. Reputable companies, like Depthore, have PMMC-certified assayers and will provide a transparent breakdown of the valuation.

4. Understand the Valuation
The price of gold changes daily. Your final offer should be based on the live international market price, multiplied by the purity and weight of your item. A trustworthy buyer will explain this calculation clearly.

5. Prioritize Security
From the moment you hand over your gold, it should be handled with the utmost security. Choose a partner with a secure facility to ensure the safety of your valuable asset throughout the entire process.

At Depthore, we follow these principles with every transaction. We are a fully licensed gold company, offering transparent assaying and competitive prices based on the global market. Ready to sell with confidence? Contact us today for a secure and fair valuation.
