3. Your material will generally arrive at our facility in 1-2 business days.
4. One of our trained refining specialists will verify the content of your shipment and it will immediately be sent to our melt department.
5. Upon melt, we will note the final bar weight and a sample will be sent to our fire assay department.
6. The fire assay process will take anywhere from 3-5 hours to complete thereafter.
7. The assay results from the fire assay are sent to our accounting department and a settlement report is created.
8. One of our accounting specialists will then contact you with the results of the assay.
9. You select how you want to get paid, check or bank wire.
10. And that’s it! It really doesn’t get any easier then this.

The whole process on most lots usually takes no more then 24 hours to complete. We settle all lots the day after receiving them using second London (PM) metal market pricing. Should you be in the NY tr-state area at the time your lot is being refined and assayed, we welcome you to visit our facility and watch it being processed.

The Act, required by the Department of Treasury, prescribes regulations that will establish minimum standards for the identification and verification of customers in connection with the acceptance of refining material. These regulations require manufacturers, refiners, wholesalers, retailers and any others engaged in the business of purchasing and selling precious metals, precious stones, or jewelry to obtain pertinent information from their clients.
