Turn a buying requirement into a structured supplier search.
International and African buyers can define commodity, grade, quantity, destination, timing and documentary requirements, then use GoldConnect RFQs to attract relevant supplier responses.

Use discovery, RFQs and evidence together
Marketplace discovery helps identify possible counterparties, but serious mineral sourcing should also define specifications, review supporting information, document commercial terms and confirm transaction-specific legal, technical, assay, logistics and counterparty requirements.
Build a clearer route from search to transaction
GoldConnect pages are organised to move users from search intent into a practical action: browse listings, register, post an RFQ, review a supplier profile, create a Mineral Passport or progress a qualified opportunity into a private transaction workflow.
Build a stronger mineral RFQ
Well-structured RFQs help suppliers decide quickly whether they can meet a requirement and reduce irrelevant responses. Buyers should describe the commercial and technical requirement as clearly as possible.
- Commodity, product type, grade or specification.
- Required quantity, frequency and expected supply period.
- Delivery destination and preferred Incoterm where applicable.
- Inspection, assay, documentation and source-evidence expectations.
- Target timeline, commercial process and relevant payment requirements.
Use Post Buyer RFQ to publish demand, review African suppliers and browse the marketplace for related supply opportunities.
