Introduction: Zambian Heritage, Global Supply from Our Own Reserves
Chiwempala Heritage Minerals is a premier, fully-licensed Zambian company specializing in the direct supply of bulk gold from our own significant reserves. Rooted in Zambia’s rich mineral landscape, we provide an unparalleled direct-from-source solution for refineries, institutional investors, and precious metal dealers worldwide.
Our business model is built on two core pillars:
Existing Reserves: We maintain a ready inventory of gold, available for immediate allocation to meet client demands.
Continuous Replenishment: We operate a robust and continuous procurement program, constantly replenishing our reserves by sourcing directly from our vetted network of licensed artisanal mines and cooperatives across Zambia.
This dual-focus ensures we are not intermediaries, but a consistent and reliable direct supplier with a tangible, ready-to-deploy stock of ethically sourced gold.
For clients with highly specific acquisition mandates, Chiwempala Heritage Minerals offers a specialized procurement service that leverages our unique position in the market. We can execute your mandate through two primary avenues:
Allocation from Our Reserves: For immediate needs, we can allocate gold directly from our existing, fully-assayed inventory.
Dedicated Sourcing Campaign: For larger or ongoing requirements, we will execute a dedicated sourcing campaign, leveraging our mine-gate relationships to procure gold specifically for your mandate, which then feeds into our reserve and is allocated to you.
1. Strategic Sourcing and Reserve Replenishment Our operations are designed for a continuous inflow of gold, ensuring our reserves are always robust.
Direct Mine-Gate Procurement: Our core activity is the constant procurement of gold from Zambia's premier licensed mining operations. This is not done on a deal-by-deal basis but as part of an ongoing strategy to maintain and grow our reserves.
Optimized Pricing: By purchasing consistently and at volume, we secure preferential pricing, the benefits of which are extended to our clients.
2. Independent Assay and Quality Certification of All Stock All gold that enters our reserves undergoes stringent, independent verification before being accepted and made available for sale.
Accredited Laboratories: We partner exclusively with Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) accredited and ISO-compliant laboratories.
Certified Inventory: Every bar or unit of gold held in our reserve has a corresponding, independent assay report, guaranteeing its fineness and authenticity. Clients receive this certification with their allocation.
3. Secure and Customized Packaging from Our Vaults All client allocations are drawn from our securely vaulted reserves and packaged under strict security protocols.
High-Security Crating: Gold is packed in custom-built, FSC-approved wooden crates.
Tamper-Evident Seals: Each container is secured with serialized, tamper-evident seals, with a full photographic record provided to the client.
4. Logistics and Delivery Execution from Reserve We manage the secure and efficient delivery of your allocated gold directly from our own inventory.
Buyer-Directed Logistics: We integrate with your chosen secured logistics provider for a seamless handover from our vault.
Turnkey Solutions: We can manage the entire end-to-end, fully insured delivery from our reserve to your designated refinery or vault anywhere in the world.
Choosing Chiwempala Heritage Minerals provides unmatched benefits:

Supply Reliability: Our constant replenishment from local mines ensures a consistent, predictable supply chain, mitigating the sourcing risks for our clients.
