Connecting African gold to the world — safely.
Base Aurum is a diversified gold company headquartered in Nairobi and operating across East Africa. We leach and process gold, structure and broker gold deals, and connect miners — across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, DR Congo and Sudan — to the international market through verified, traceable trade.
Three businesses, one trusted chain
From ore at the pit to certified gold in a buyer's hands, Base Aurum operates the connected steps that make African gold safe to process, trade and source.
Gold Leaching & Processing
We recover and refine gold from ore using modern carbon-in-leach processing — achieving 85–92% recovery under NEMA-compliant conditions, far above mercury methods.
Gold Deals & Trading
We buy processed gold at transparent, spot-linked rates and structure deals with verified counterparties, with escrow-coordinated settlement so funds move only on verified delivery.
Connecting Miners & Markets
We bridge local artisanal producers to refiners, jewellers and global buyers — carrying assay, provenance and compliance the whole way, so honest gold reaches premium markets.
From the Migori belt, across East Africa
Base Aurum began in Nyatike, Migori County — one of Kenya's richest informal gold zones — and now runs over five leaching projects across the region: two completed sites in Kenya, and three more in development in Tanzania and Uganda.
Wherever we operate, the job is the same: turn raw, informal supply into properly processed, certified, traceable gold the world can buy with confidence.
A business built on trust
In a market defined by suspicion and fake-gold fraud, our edge is being trusted — and provably so. Compliance here is not overhead; it is the product.
Kenya-rooted
We understand and operate inside a market that outsiders find opaque and risky.
Certified & compliant
KEBS-certified assay, NEMA-compliant processing, and audit-ready due diligence.
A system of record
Every verified deal adds assay and provenance data competitors can't copy.
Fair & ethical
Better recovery and transparent rates mean fairer value for honest miners.
Buy traceable gold. Sell with trust. Partner on the build.
Whether you're a global buyer, a miner or cooperative, or an investor exploring the opportunity — we'd like to hear from you.
