Gold & Copper for Aerospace Systems
AFRICA GOLD has supplied mission-critical gold and copper to aerospace manufacturers since 2018. We source only from licensed mines in Ghana and South Africa, enforce independent assaying to 99.99% purity, and manage full chain-of-custody documentation aligned with AS9100 standards so every gram meets the demands of flight.
Challenge
A French aerospace manufacturer needed 35kg of 99.99% pure gold grain for satellite communication systems but faced supply gaps from African sources. Previous shipments lacked ITAR-compliant documentation, ethical sourcing proof, or consistent assay validation, triggering quality holds during NADCAP audits.
Solution
AFRICA GOLD sourced material from a Minerals Commission-licensed mine in Ghana’s Ashanti Region, arranged SGS assay (Au 99.99%), sealed samples with dual tamper-proof tags, and provided full documentation including conflict-free declaration, mine origin certificate, and AS9100-aligned chain-of-custody log. The shipment cleared Charles de Gaulle Airport customs within 7 days and passed the client’s NADCAP audit without exception.
