Scrap gold
The term “scrap gold” refers to gold that is sent to a refiner to be melted down and recycled. “Scrap gold” comes in different forms, for example old gold jewelleries that are already out of fashion and old gold coins and bars that were damaged or tarnished over time but still contain high purity of gold. Upon receiving these scraps, to maintain our high quality and service standard, YLG always sends to reputable LBMA accredited refineries to refine and recast into gold bars. This arrangement has given assurance to our customers of reliability and trust.
Gold grains
Gold grains, or granules, are formed during the gold refining process.Liquid gold is pumped into cold water resulting in the formation of tiny grains of pure gold. These particles have an organic shape and difference in size. Gold grain is often melted down to produce gold bars and jewelry or it is used for other industrial purposes. YLG uses only refiners approved by the LBMA. They have to maintain excellent laboratory and production facilities, and there is a proactive monitoring of these refineries on the good delivery list. These are usually the only bars that are used for vaulting and storing purposes.
