Short profile:
The Perth Mint, the only LBMA accredited refiner in Australia, currently refines the total annual production of gold in Australia. In addition, gold ore is also sourced from New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Thailand and Malaysia. Gold jewellery scrap is also sourced from a variety of Asian markets. Refinery throughput is expected typically between 300 tonnes and 400 tonnes per annum. Refining capacities are well in excess of this. The refinery uses four refining processes: chlorination electrolytic, gold refining, aqua regia digest refining, electrolytic silver refining. The combination of these four refining processes ensure the most cost effective treatment of gold and silver from mines, industrial scrap, jewellers’ lemels as well as other types of high and low grade material.

Proficient description English:
Consolidation of the industry in Australia has enabled The Perth Mint Refinery to streamline its operations and compete in national, regional and global markets with an enhanced suite of products and services. The traditional activities of refining, manufacturing and sales are changing to meet new concepts of supply and service, and new ways of doing business. An innovative treasury is as important as refining efficiency, quality and turnaround times. Manufacture and design must anticipate market trends. Sales staff are no longer order takers but partners in building the bottom line of customers. The global nature of the business is reflected in its links with the London, New York, Tokyo and Dubai financial and commodity markets, and with customers in the Indian sub-continent, South-East and Northern Asia, the Pacific, Turkey and the Middle East. For more than a century, The Perth Mint has been providing timely refining advice and service to the Australian gold mining industry and dealers in secondary precious metal scrap. Built upon the foundation established in 1899 when The Perth Mint opened as a branch the Royal Mint, Tower Hill, London, The Perth Mint has maintained a reputation for the highest standards of reliability, accuracy and integrity. Attention to maintaining these exacting technical standards has resulted in The Perth Mint - Refining Division's services being recognised and accepted throughout the world. It has provided technical consultancy services to a number of other countries to assist them with the design and development of refining facilities.
