Give artisanal and small-scale miners a professional route to serious buyers.
GoldConnect provides eligible artisanal and small-scale miners with a structured marketplace presence. Create a business or dealer profile, publish accurate mineral opportunities and respond to buyer demand without relying only on informal social-media introductions.
Who this registration path is for
This path is for lawful artisanal miners, cooperatives, small-scale licence holders and authorised mineral sellers who can accurately explain what they offer and provide the evidence required for their jurisdiction and transaction.
What buyers need to see
Useful information can include business or cooperative identity, authorised representatives, licence or permit information where applicable, mineral location, product form, quantity, grade or assay information, photographs, ownership or authority to sell, and realistic logistics.
Use accurate information and current photographs. Do not publish confidential identity documents, bank credentials or sensitive records publicly. Provide sensitive evidence only through an appropriate controlled process.
Turn registration into buyer visibility
A complete profile helps international buyers understand who they are dealing with before commercial discussions begin. GoldConnect also allows miners to see buyer RFQs rather than waiting for inbound enquiries.
After registration, publish a focused listing for each major product or capability and review current buyer RFQs for genuine commercial fit.
Build trust without overstating verification
Email confirmation proves control of an email address; it does not prove a company, licence, mineral source or transaction. Business verification should remain evidence-based. Use the Business Verification workflow when supporting records are ready for review.
