The Rand Refinery: A Legacy of Excellence

The Rand Refinery stands among the most historic and reputable gold refiners globally. Before its establishment, South Africa’s gold was shipped to London, England, where it was refined and processed.

This changed on November 27, 1920, when Rand Refinery, Ltd. was founded as a private company. From then on, lower-grade gold ingots from African mines were refined to a purity of 99.6% and sold to the South African Reserve Bank. By 1922, gold shipments to London had almost entirely ceased.

In 1967, when South Africa began minting its iconic gold bullion coins, the government naturally turned to the Rand Refinery, the oldest and most established refinery on the continent.

Today, the Rand Refinery in Germiston, Gauteng, South Africa, is recognized as one of the world’s largest and most integrated single-site refining and smelting facilities. A source of national pride, it is renowned for its commitment to quality and ethical practices, including sustainable sourcing. The refinery exclusively supplies gold for the production of the legendary Krugerrand bullion coins.
