Gold Buyers Africa was founded in 2015 in Kampala, Uganda, with a simple yet ambitious vision: to connect Africa's rich gold mining heritage with the global market through ethical, transparent, and professional trading practices.
What began as a small operation working directly with artisanal miners in Uganda's Karamoja region has grown into one of Africa's most trusted gold trading companies. Our founding team recognized that African miners were often undervalued by intermediaries and lacked direct access to international buyers willing to pay fair prices.
Today, we proudly serve over 500 clients across 30+ countries, from individual investors to institutional buyers and refineries. Our operations span five key African nations: Uganda, Congo, Tanzania, Ghana, and South Africa, giving us access to some of the continent's richest gold deposits.
Every gram of gold we trade carries with it a commitment to the mining communities that make our business possible. We reinvest in local infrastructure, support sustainable mining practices, and ensure that our supply chain benefits everyone involved.
