Precious-Metal-Bearing Ore
PGM Ore with Gold For Refining & Industrial Processing
Amal Trade coordinates inquiries for natural platinum-group-metal-bearing ore with associated gold for qualified refiners, metallurgical processors, laboratories, and industrial buyers. Commercial evaluation is based on representative sampling, agreed laboratory analysis, and written contract specifications.
A reported gold range of 15–30 ppm per ton may apply to selected material, but no website value should be treated as a guaranteed shipment grade without a relevant assay and certificate of analysis.
Material Type
Precious-metal-bearing natural ore
Reported Gold Range
15–30 ppm/t — subject to assay
PGM Evaluation
Pt, Pd, Rh and requested elements
Commercial Basis
Sampling, assay, contract, and inspection
Product Overview
Natural Platinum-Group-Metal Ore with Associated Gold
PGM Ore refers to mineral material containing one or more platinum-group metals. These metals include platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium, and osmium. Gold may also occur in association with the mineralised material.
PGM-bearing ores can occur in magmatic, hydrothermal, sulfide-rich, or other geological settings. The physical appearance of the ore alone cannot establish its commercial value. Mineralogy, assay, moisture, particle size, recovery, treatment costs, payable elements, and deleterious elements must be evaluated.
This material is offered for professional technical review and industrial processing rather than retail, jewellery, or investment use.

Sampling, Packing & Export
Information for International Buyers
Final options depend on product form, quantity, safety review, origin, destination, loading facility, and contract.
Sampling & Assay Requirements
- Define the lot or stockpile represented by the sample
- Agree incremental, composite, crushing, and splitting procedures
- Seal samples and maintain a documented chain of custody
- Confirm laboratory, method, detection limits, and reporting units
- Keep retained or umpire samples for dispute resolution
- Link every assay report to the relevant sample or shipment batch
Packing & Export Documents
- Sample drums, lined jumbo bags, sacks, or buyer-approved packing
- Commercial invoice and packing list where applicable
- Certificate of origin and transport documents
- Certificate of analysis and weight certificate
- Independent inspection report where commercially agreed
- Safety, handling, customs, and destination-required documents
Important commercial and safety notice:
Reported precious-metal concentrations must be verified through
representative sampling and an agreed laboratory assay. Ore may contain
sulfides, heavy metals, or other hazardous constituents. Qualified
parties must assess occupational exposure, dust control, environmental
compliance, transport classification, storage, processing, customs,
and destination-market requirements.
Commercial Buyer Questions
PGM Ore with Gold Frequently Asked Questions
Clear guidance for refiners, processors, laboratories, importers, and qualified industrial buyers.
What does PGM mean?
PGM means platinum-group metals. The group includes platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium, and osmium. A commercial assay should identify which elements were tested and report their measured values.
Is the gold content guaranteed at 15–30 ppm per ton?
No website range should be treated as a guaranteed shipment grade. The 15–30 ppm per ton figure is presented as a reported or indicative range only and must be confirmed through representative sampling, an agreed laboratory method, and the relevant certificate of analysis.
Which assay values should an international buyer request?
Buyers may request Au, Pt, Pd, Rh, Ru, Ir, and Os results, together with moisture, sulfur, base metals, deleterious elements, and other parameters relevant to processing, recovery, pricing, transport, and destination requirements.
Can a sample be arranged before a commercial order?
Samples may be discussed for serious commercial inquiries, subject to availability, sample size, preparation, sealing, courier restrictions, cost, chain of custody, and agreement on what stockpile or batch the sample represents.
How should representative sampling be handled?
The parties should agree the sampling location, number of increments, composite preparation, crushing and splitting method, sealing, retained samples, laboratory, testing method, and dispute procedure before relying on an assay.
Which packing options may be available?
Depending on particle size, quantity, handling classification, loading facility, and contract, packing may include lined jumbo bags, industrial sacks, drums for samples, pallets, or other buyer-approved formats.
Which export documents can be requested?
Documents may include a commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, certificate of analysis, weight certificate, inspection report, bill of lading, safety or handling information, and other buyer- or destination-required records.
Is PGM Ore suitable for retail or investment purchase?
This material is intended for qualified refiners, metallurgical processors, laboratories, and industrial buyers. Commercial value depends on verified assay, mineralogy, recovery, payable elements, penalties, treatment charges, and contractual terms.
