Chiwempala Heritage Minerals operates a state-of-the-art secure vaulting facility in Lusaka, engineered to meet stringent international security protocols while adhering strictly to Zambian regulatory standards. Our infrastructure is purpose-built to provide uncompromising protection for high-value physical assets against all potential threats.
This premier service is designed for mining companies securing production, international traders managing inventory, and private investors requiring discreet, long-term safekeeping of their bullion. We offer more than just storage; we provide a fully managed and compliant custodial solution.
Multi-Layered Physical Security: Our facility is protected by multiple, integrated security layers, including reinforced physical construction, 24/7 interior and exterior CCTV surveillance, and advanced motion and vibration sensors. Access is governed by multi-factor authentication, including biometric verification and dual-control "two-man" rules for all vault movements.
On-Site Armed Response: The perimeter and access points are monitored and protected around the clock by a dedicated, on-site armed response team from a reputable, licensed Zambian security firm, ensuring immediate and professional threat neutralization.
Comprehensive Asset Insurance: All assets held in our custody are covered by a comprehensive, all-risk insurance policy underwritten by a leading international insurer. This policy covers loss from theft, damage, and other specified perils, providing our clients with complete financial peace of mind.
Secure Logistics and Handling: We manage the entire logistics process for both deposits and withdrawals. This includes the deployment of armoured vehicles and trained crews for secure "vault-to-port" or "mine-to-vault" transportation, with procedural coordination with the Zambia Police Service where necessary.
Inventory Management and Auditing: Each deposit is weighed, assayed (if required), and registered in our secure inventory management system. Clients receive a formal holding certificate and have access to regular, discreet audit reports to verify their assets without compromising the facility's security.
Regulatory and Customs Compliance: Our facility is licensed and compliant with the regulations set by Zambia's Ministry of Mines and Minerals Development. We can also facilitate storage within a designated, customs-bonded section of our vault, allowing clients to defer duties and taxes on assets pending re-export, in full compliance with Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) stipulations.
Absolute Client Confidentiality: We operate under a strict code of confidentiality, ensuring absolute client anonymity and the privacy of all holding information.
Whether you are consolidating assets for export, managing trading inventory, or securing your portfolio, Chiwempala Heritage Minerals provides the most robust and professionally managed storage environment in Zambia. Our deep expertise in local compliance ensures that your assets are not only physically secure but also legally protected.
