Gold for Medical Device Components

AFRICA GOLD has supplied ultra-pure, ethically sourced gold to medical device manufacturers since 2017. We work exclusively with licensed mines in Ghana, enforce independent assaying to 99.99% purity, and manage full chain-of-custody documentation so life-saving devices meet global regulatory standards. This is how we supported a U.S. cardiac device maker.

Challenge

A Minnesota-based medical device company needed 28kg of 99.99% pure gold grain for implantable pacemaker electrodes but struggled with inconsistent supply from African brokers. Previous shipments lacked ISO 13485-aligned traceability, ethical sourcing proof, or assay validation, risking FDA audit failures.

Solution

AFRICA GOLD sourced material from a Minerals Commission-licensed operation in Ashanti Region, arranged SGS assay (Au 99.99%), sealed samples with tamper-proof tags, and provided full documentation including conflict-free declaration, mine origin certificate, and chain-of-custody log. The shipment cleared JFK customs within 6 days and passed the client’s internal quality audit on first review.
