Our Refining Process
Three mastered stages — from analysis to certification — for uncompromising traceability and purity.
01Assay & Analysis
Fire-assay cupellation and elemental XRF spectrometry establish precise purity before refining.
02Smelt & Refine
Thermal induction smelting and chemical refining bring gold to investment-grade fineness.
03Certify & Vault
Each bar is serial-stamped, hallmarked and secured in an insured, tamper-evident vault.
In Service of the Congolese Nation
The Democratic Republic of Congo is among the world’s richest nations in natural resources — gold, minerals, energy and fertile land. ROK SA exists to transform a share of that gold wealth on Congolese soil, so that more of its value remains to serve the Congolese people.
Core Corporate Values
The institutional principles guiding every assay, melt, shipment, and partnership across our operations.
Uncompromising Purity (995, 999 & 999.9)
Advanced chemical refining and Wohlwill electrolytic technology producing investment-grade bullion, with purity goals guided by LBMA Responsible Gold standards.
100% Conflict-Free Traceability
End-to-end traceability and KYC/AML due diligence aligned with OECD Annex II, EITI and the ICGLR Regional Certification Mechanism across Congolese sourcing provinces.
Sovereign Value Retention
Advancing the national mandate of DRC Decree N° 22/48 by refining raw Congolese gold in-country at the Kinshasa SEZ rather than exporting unrefined ore.
Dual-Custody Security & Governance
Dual-custody vault storage, inventory reconciliation, and insured domestic and international bullion logistics with bank-traced supplier payments.
“For generations, Congo’s gold has left our soil unrefined. ROK SA exists to change that — to refine our gold at home, in Congolese hands, and to build value that stays in the nation.”
ROK SA — Raffinerie d’Or de Kinshasa SA — is a public-private joint venture between DRC Gold Trading SA, a Congolese state portfolio company, and Metahive Ltd. Founded in 2026, it is the downstream refining pillar established under the framework of Decree N° 22/48.
