Why SMO Gold?
SMO stands for Single Mine Origin. Every ounce of our gold can be traced to a specific mines, selected because they are accredited with the highest responsibility standards whilst also providing vital social, environmental and cultural support to the communities they operate in.
It is important to appreciate that less than 1% of gold in the world is fully traceable and without traceability there is no accountability.
Single Mine Origin metal is kept segregated from any other material throughout the supply chain and is sourced from mines which are independently auditied to operate to international best practice.
Each batch of SMO is fully traced through the chain of custody from mine to jeweller, with a fully documented paper-trail maintained.
SMO gold is supplied with a QR code , allowing customers to see from exactly which mine their metal was sourced and learn more about the social and environmental impacts associated with their purchase.
