Confirming to the vision and the focus of the country to value-add to the primary production in Gabon, ACM in 2022 unveiled the first gold refinery in Gabon (also a first for Central Africa)
The refinery has an annual capacity of 7 to 10 Mt of gold processing.
Setup in the Special Economic Zone at Nkok in Libreville, the state-of-the-art refinery based on Italian technology has zero emissions and 100% Acid Recovery.
In May 2023, given the strategic importance of the sector to the country, the state acquired 51% of this refinery.
The refinery is now renamed to “RAFFINERIES GABONAISE DE L’OR” and has the primary objectives of:
Refine 100% of the gold produced in Gabon and our neighboring countries.
Strive for excellence in service to our customers and make Gabon a hub for gold refining in Central Africa.
Bring traceability to this growing sector and thereby bring sustainability to the industry.
With quality certificates, bring greater transparency to customers of gold in Gabon.
Soon we aspire to cater to the consumer and institutional market with jewelry and gold coins.
