Refining

Professional Gold & Silver Refining in Australia

Aussiemint provides professional precious metal refining for commercial clients who need accuracy, fast turnaround and clear value from their gold and silver materials. Whether you are a mining operation, pawn broker, gold buyer, jeweller, bullion trader or manufacturer, our refining service helps convert precious metal material into a more reliable, saleable or investment-ready form.

Precious metal refining requires more than melting. It involves secure intake, accurate weighing, material classification, homogenisation, representative sampling, assay-led analysis and the right refining pathway for the grade and type of material supplied.

Aussiemint can assist with high-yield dore, raw and alluvial gold, mixed-carat jewellery, estate scrap, bench sweeps, lemel, filings, granules, bullion, coins and manufacturing waste.

Why Us

Refining Solutions for Miners, Pawn Brokers and Trade Clients

Commercial Mining Solutions

For miners, prospectors and junior exploration companies, Aussiemint assists with raw, alluvial and semi-refined material, including dore bar processing and high-to-medium grade gold or silver lots.

The focus is technical clarity: correct sampling, homogenisation, fire assay support and transparent yield information to help you understand the value of your mined material before settlement, sale or bullion conversion.

Pawn Broker & Scrap Liquidation Services

For pawn brokers, gold buyers and second-hand dealers, speed matters. Scrap jewellery, mixed carats and estate lots represent locked-up capital.

Aussiemint helps streamline liquidation with secure intake, transparent weight verification, accelerated turnaround and flexible settlement by rapid bank transfer, competitive buyback arrangement or bullion conversion where suitable.

Jeweller & Manufacturer Recovery

For jewellers and manufacturers, Aussiemint assists with lemel, sweeps, filings, bench waste, casting material and other precious metal by-products that need to be recovered, refined, converted or sold.
