Aussiemint provides professional receipt and sampling services for commercial clients who need confidence before refining, assaying, settlement or bullion conversion. Whether you are submitting dore, mined material, mixed-carat jewellery, estate scrap, lemel, sweeps or manufacturing waste, accurate sampling is the foundation of a reliable precious metal result.
The value of a gold or silver lot depends on the accuracy of the first intake stage. Poor weighing, unclear documentation or non-representative sampling can create disputes, delay settlement and reduce confidence in the final out-turn. Aussiemint helps minimise these risks through secure receipt, weight verification, lot identification, controlled preparation and representative sampling.
Where required, sampled material can move into fire assay, XRF analysis or other testing methods to determine precious metal content, purity and commercial value.
Aussiemint assists miners, prospectors and junior exploration companies with raw, alluvial and semi-refined gold or silver material, including dore and high-to-medium grade lots. Because mined material can vary across a batch, homogenisation and representative sampling are essential before assay or refining.
Our process supports weight recording, material classification, sample preparation and assay readiness, helping mining clients gain clearer yield visibility.
For pawn brokers, gold buyers and second-hand dealers, speed and traceability matter. Mixed-carat jewellery, broken gold, estate scrap and liquidation lots need to be received, weighed, classified and prepared efficiently before assay, refining, buyback or settlement.
Aussiemint supports a streamlined intake workflow for commercial scrap lots, helping reduce delays and improve confidence in the final out-turn.
For jewellers and manufacturers, filings, lemel, sweeps, bench waste and casting residues require careful preparation because precious metal content may be unevenly distributed.
Aussiemint can receive, classify and prepare trade by-products so they can be sampled, assayed, recovered, refined or converted through the right pathway.
Secure Receipt
Material intake, client identification, lot registration and handling instructions.
Weight Verification
Recorded weighing and material classification to establish the incoming lot profile.
Preparation & Homogenisation
Controlled preparation, melting or homogenisation where required to improve sample consistency.
Representative Sampling
Ampling method selected according to material type, grade and downstream process.
Sample Split & Documentation
Primary sample preparation, retained sample handling where required and supporting records.
Assay Readiness
Transfer into fire assay, XRF analysis or other testing pathways where suitable.
| Material Input | Sampling / Intake Output |
|---|---|
| Dore and mined material | Receipt records, preparation, homogenisation and representative sampling |
| Mixed-carat jewellery | Weight verification, material classification and sampling preparation |
| estate scrap and pawn broker lots | efficient intake, lot documentation and assay-ready sampling |
| Lemel, filings and sweeps | Preparation for recovery, assay or refining assessment |
| Bullion bars and coins | Intake documentation and testing pathway where required |
| Manufacturing by-products | Classification, sampling preparation and refining readiness |
| Commercial refining lots | Chain-of-custody records and downstream assay support |
Accurate sampling protects the value of the refining process. It helps reduce disputes, supports clearer assay results and gives miners, pawn brokers, jewellers and trade clients a stronger basis for settlement, recovery or bullion conversion.
For dore, mixed scrap or fine trade residues, the sample must represent the lot as fairly as possible. Receipt and sampling should be treated as a technical process, not an administrative step.
