Gold Trading Company in Great Lakes Region
Professional Gold Trading and Export Across the East Africa and Great Lakes Region
Great Lakes Gold Origins Ltd is a professional gold trading and export company operating across East and Central Africa. We specialize in the responsible sourcing, verification, and international supply of gold from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, and Sudan.
Our company serves as a trusted link between gold-producing regions in Africa and international buyers, refineries, and institutional partners. Every transaction we handle is supported by verified origin, independent assay testing, and full regulatory documentation.
We operate exclusively within the Great Lakes and East African gold corridor, one of the most geologically rich gold-producing regions in the world.
Our sourcing footprint includes:
In the Democratic Republic of Congo, we work with licensed suppliers in Ituri, North Kivu, South Kivu, Maniema, and Haut-Uele, regions known for high-quality alluvial and artisanal gold production.
In Uganda, we source and process gold from mining districts such as Buhweju, Mubende, Kassanda, Karamoja, and Bushenyi. Uganda also serves as a strategic aggregation, assay, and export hub.
In Kenya, our sourcing activities focus on the western gold belt, including Migori, Kakamega, Vihiga, and surrounding areas.
In Tanzania, we work with suppliers in established gold regions such as Geita, Mwanza, Shinyanga, Mara, and Kahama.
In Sudan, we source primarily alluvial and ASM gold from compliant regions including River Nile State, Northern State, North and South Kordofan, and the Blue Nile area, applying enhanced due diligence controls.

How Our Sourcing Process Works
Our sourcing process is structured to ensure legality, traceability, and consistency.
We begin by onboarding suppliers through licence verification, identity checks, and operational screening. Gold is then collected, weighed, sealed, and transported through approved channels.
Independent assay laboratories confirm purity and composition before export. All documentation is reviewed internally to ensure accuracy and compliance before shipment.
Compliance, Due Diligence, and Transparency
Compliance is central to our operations.
We align our procedures with internationally recognised standards, including OECD Due Diligence Guidance, AML and KYC requirements, and conflict-free sourcing principles.
Every supplier and buyer undergoes verification. Every shipment includes assay certificates, certificates of origin, export permits, and customs documentation.
This framework protects our buyers, supports ethical trade, and ensures long-term sustainability in the regions where we operate.
