MD Overseas FZCO coordinates comprehensive access to independent accredited refiners and assaying solutions given by the MD Overseas Team, together with rigorous counterparty vetting, secure logistics, provenance documentation, and seamless settlement management.
MD Overseas FZCO coordinates access to accredited refining and assaying facilities, managed end-to-end by the MD Overseas Team.
Our team provides coordinated access to independent accredited refiners and laboratories, together with counterparty vetting, logistics, documentation and settlement management that surrounds a refining transaction.
For holders of doré, scrap, sweeps or unrefined precious metal seeking a route to refined, marketable bullion, solutions are structured and delivered by the MD Overseas Team from counterparty selection through to final settlement.
We manage the entire commercial, technical, and regulatory lifecycle surrounding a refining transaction.
Identification of an appropriate accredited refiner for the material type, volume, jurisdiction and timeline, drawing on the shareholders’ long-standing relationships across international refining markets.
Know Your Supplier checks, beneficial ownership verification, sanctions and PEP screening, and Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Area (CAHRA) assessment applied before any material moves.
Coordination of secure, insured transport, customs clearance and export/import documentation, with rigorous chain-of-custody records maintained throughout transit to the refiner.
Coordination of independent sampling and assay, review of results against declared weight and fineness, and reconciliation of receipts against outputs. Material discrepancies, unexplained changes in origin or unusual routing are referred to Compliance before final acceptance.
Management of commercial settlement terms — refined metal delivery, metal account credit or cash settlement — on the basis of independently verified assay results and pre-agreed contract terms.
A clear, structured, and auditable 6-stage lifecycle governing every refining and assaying transaction.
Initial review of material type, estimated quantity, indicative assay, physical form, country of origin, and current storage location.
Complete Know Your Supplier checks, ultimate beneficial ownership verification, sanctions screening, and origin assessment. No material moves until this is complete.
Optimal accredited refiner identified; treatment charges, refining turnaround, settlement basis, and deduction schedules agreed in writing.
Fully insured armoured transport and customs clearance coordination managed under a continuous, documented chain of custody.
Independent sampling and fire assay at the refiner, with results shared before processing where the agreed commercial terms provide for it.
Outputs reconciled against receipts; commercial settlement effected on agreed terms via refined metal delivery, account credit, or cash.
Consistent with our Responsible Gold and Precious Metals Supply Chain Policy, we will not coordinate the movement or refining of material that violates our ethical, legal, or provenance standards.
Material that cannot be supported by satisfactory, verifiable documentation of origin, legal ownership, and an unbroken chain of custody.
Material connected to serious human rights abuses, direct or indirect conflict financing, or support to non-state armed groups.
Material carrying unresolved sanctions exposure, or red-flag indicators of money laundering, terrorist financing, or tax evasion.
Transactions involving misclassification of mined material as recycled scrap, or any other intentional misrepresentation of origin or grade.
Consignments presenting purity, weight, or documentation discrepancies that the counterparty is unwilling or unable to satisfactorily explain.
We welcome refining and assaying enquiries from mining entities, aggregators, jewellery fabricators, and institutional market participants seeking professional end-to-end coordination.
