For institutional & serious buyers
How to buy gold from Diamond Capital
Clear procedure for assay-verified gold from a licensed Kampala dealer: KYC, quote, documentation, then FOB Kampala, CIF Dubai, or escorted insured delivery.
Choose your path
Physical gold in Africa is full of shortcuts that fail. Here is how buyers typically try, and which path we support.
DIY on the ground alone
Pros: Lowest intermediation cost if everything works.
Cons: High operational, security, and counterparty risk without local licences, assay, and export experience.
Wire a stranger from LinkedIn or email
Pros: Feels easy: send funds or bank instruments first.
Cons: Extremely high fraud risk. Passports, POF, and LCs are routinely abused. Not how we trade.
Recommended
Buy from a licensed Uganda refiner and exporter
Pros: Assay-backed bars, real facility, export docs, named counterparty, and delivery options that match institutional practice.
Cons: Requires KYC and commercial discipline. Quotes, not fantasy discounts.
Buying procedure
Every contract differs by volume and destination. This is the standard path for wholesale and export buyers.
- 1
Enquire with intent
Contact Tom with volume, destination, and delivery preference. We respond within one business day. Cold emails with no KYC path or fake "discount below spot" offers are not our model.
- 2
KYC and commercial fit
Serious buyers provide basic corporate documents and proof of funds appropriate to the order size. We confirm we can supply product and documentation for your market before anyone travels.
- 3
Quote on request
Pricing is quote-based against live spot plus a transparent premium. We do not publish fake fixed online prices or "CIF free shipping at a discount" bait used in scams.
- 4
Assay, vault, and documents
Product is refined and fire-assay verified at our Kampala facility. Serial numbers, certificates, and export paperwork are prepared before release.
- 5
Delivery and settlement
Choose FOB Kampala vault collection, CIF Dubai freight and insurance arranged by us, or escorted insured delivery to agreed destinations. Settlement in USD or EUR on agreed terms.
Why serious buyers trust Diamond Capital
Licensed principal, not a broker chain
Diamond Capital Africa is a licensed gold dealer and exporter in Kampala. We coordinate assay-verified supply, not random social-media offerings.
Assay verification
Transactions are supported by fire-assay or equivalent purity documentation and chain-of-custody records buyers can review.
Real export documentation
Bank of Uganda clearance, customs paperwork, and OECD-aligned chain-of-custody records are prepared for legitimate cross-border settlement.
Named contact and fixed address
Deal with a named commercial contact at Plot 42, Nakasero Road, Kampala, not anonymous LinkedIn profiles or disposable email domains.
What to include in your enquiry
We prioritise complete institutional enquiries. Incomplete \"any quantity, cheapest price\" messages are usually not serious buyers.
- Company name, registration jurisdiction, and role (importer, refiner, family office, trader)
- Intended volume range (spot vs rolling) and preferred bar formats (10 oz, 1 kg, 12.5 kg)
- Delivery preference: FOB Kampala, CIF Dubai, or escorted insured delivery
- Settlement currency (USD or EUR) and rough timeline
- Willingness to complete KYC before quote confirmation or site visit
Delivery options
FOB Kampala, CIF Dubai, insured delivery
FOB Kampala
Collect from our Nakasero vault with your insured logistics. Best for experienced importers.
CIF Dubai
We arrange freight and insurance to Dubai for Middle East buyers and re-export hubs. Quote-based, not fantasy discounts.
Escorted insured delivery
Secure delivery to agreed destinations with full chain-of-custody documentation.
