Fidelity Gold Refinery (FGR) has opened a buying office at Maphisa to bring convenience to gold miners in the area.
In a statement on its Facebook page, the sole gold buyer announced it had opened a branch for miners’ convenience.
“For your convenience Maphisa and Kezi Miners, we have opened a buying office at Agribank Maphisa. Deliver your gold and get instant cash,” the statement reads.
FGR recently rebranded and ultimately shifted its URL to https://www.fgr.co.zw from the usual www.fpr.co.zw.
Fidelity Gold Refinery (Pvt) Ltd is licensed to buy gold from large-scale producers, small-scale producers and holders of gold buying permits. The customer has an option to select the assay method for a particular deposit or the specific gravity method. If the customer opts for the fire assay method, payment will be made after the analysis which is carried out at the Head Office in Harare. Samples obtained after melting are accurately analysed using the internationally recognised fire assay technique. Results obtained are in the region of 1 part per thousand tolerances. However, for the specific gravity method, payment is actioned on the spot. The specific gravity method is used particularly in areas outside Harare.
