ABC Refinery’s appointment to this exclusive list is a testament to its ability to refine and produce gold products to LBMA level, universally regarded as the highest international standard. LBMA accreditation is given only to companies that meet the Association’s stringent assaying and bar quality criteria as well as its responsible gold and net tangible asset requirements.

The appointment makes ABC Refinery the only independent LBMA accredited gold refinery in Australia and reaffirms the position of the ABC Bullion brand as a cornerstone of the Australasian physical gold trading system.

Pallion CEO Andrew Cochineas said the accreditation is international recognition for the brand’s commitment to mining, refining and supplying superior gold product:

ABC Refinery is delighted to be recognised amongst LBMA’s exclusive list of the world’s leading gold refiners. Australia is the second largest producer of gold globally and the addition of ABC Refinery to the LBMA good delivery list for gold gives primary producers in the region the benefit of choice.

As a wholly privately owned Australian business, LBMA accreditation is an important milestone not only for ABC Refinery but also the broader Pallion group which is a real Australian manufacturing success story.”

To be successful in attaining accreditation, ABC Refinery had to satisfy the LBMA of its ownership, history, production capability and financial standing. It also had to pass the LBMA’s exhaustive technical testing procedures, under which ABC Refinery’s ABC Bullion gold bars were examined and assayed by independent referees and its own assaying capabilities were tested.

“Testament to the Pallion commitment to quality, all products that bear the ABC Bullion hallmark are produced by ABC Refinery according to LBMA standards. And now our clients benefit from the comfort that all products produced by the broader Pallion group are made with bullion sourced from a LBMA accredited source, ABC Refinery” added Mr. Cochineas.

ABC Refinery is located in Sydney New South Wales Australia. Its primary sources of feedstock are mined material as well as scrap materials sourced from the industrial and jewellery sectors.

ABC Refinery’s refined gold output is in the form of cast bars as well as minted product.
