Seven services.
One operation.
Seven certified services covering the full mineral value chain, from raw sample to certified documentation. Whatever you bring us, we handle it properly.
Seven services. One operation that owns every result.
Every service Maxmetal offers is supported by certified expertise, documented processes, and the same standard of accountability we apply across the entire operation. There are no secondary services here.
Gold Refining
We refine gold to internationally recognised purity standards, producing certified bars, grain, or specified output formats with full documentation of weight, purity, and methodology. Your refined gold leaves Maxmetal with a certificate that buyers in any market can trade on without question.
See GoldGold Smelting
Precision smelting for gold consolidation and preparation. Every smelting process at Maxmetal is logged from intake to output, weight, temperature, methodology, result. Nothing about what happens to your gold is left to approximation.
See GoldAssaying Services
Certified analysis of mineral content. The number on a Maxmetal assay report is the number, produced by accredited methodology, documented completely, and yours to take into any commercial negotiation. If you need to know what you have before you decide what to do with it, this is where you start.
See AssayingGemstone Testing & Certification
Independent testing and formal certification for diamonds and precious stones. Our results are documented to the standard that commercial transactions, export requirements, and insurance valuations demand. Bring us the stone. We tell you exactly what it is.
See GemstoneMineral Consultancy
Expert advisory services for mining operations, mineral valuation, processing strategy, and market positioning. We advise with the same rigour we bring to every technical service, no generalities, no approximations, no advice we cannot defend.
See MineralTransaction Handling
Secure, documented facilitation of gold and mineral trade transactions. We manage the commercial process so your deal moves without friction, without ambiguity, and with a clear paper record at every point.
See TransactionLogistics & Minerals Transport
Verified, accountable movement of mineral consignments. From mine site to our facility, from our facility to your export point, with chain-of-custody documentation covering every stage of transit.
See LogisticsEvery service on this page is backed by the same thing:
A documented process. A certified result. A team accountable for both.
Most operations list services. What they mean is that they will attempt the service if asked. At Maxmetal, every service listed here has a defined process, qualified personnel, and a documented output that exists specifically to protect your interests, whether you are bringing us one small consignment or a standing commercial arrangement.
This matters because in the mineral sector, the gap between "we offer assaying" and "we issue an assay certificate your buyers in Antwerp will accept" is not a small one. We close that gap on every service, every time.
If you have a specific requirement that does not fit neatly into the categories above, contact us directly. Our consultancy team handles complex and non-standard mineral situations regularly.
Your mineral doesn't stop at one service.
Neither do we.
The most common path through a Maxmetal engagement looks something like this: a miner or dealer brings in a consignment. We assay it, confirming exactly what they have. If refining is needed, we refine it. The refined output is certified. If the client is moving the material internationally, we handle the logistics and the transaction documentation. At every stage, the chain of custody is unbroken.
That is the Maxmetal difference. You do not need four separate companies, four separate paper trails, and four separate points of accountability to move your mineral from raw material to certified, tradeable output. You need one operation that owns every step.

Each stage documented. Each stage accountable. One operation responsible for all of it.
Every service we offer is delivered under active DGSM licensing and full regulatory compliance.
Maxmetal operates within Uganda's mineral regulatory framework on every engagement. Our licenses, certifications, and compliance documentation are available for review. If your due diligence process requires our credentials before you proceed, we make that easy.
Things clients ask before they begin.
No. We work with clients across all scales, from a single small-scale miner bringing their first consignment to export companies with standing arrangements. The documentation and process standards are the same regardless of volume.
Standard assaying turnaround times are confirmed at intake and depend on the mineral type and consignment specifics. We provide a clear timeline before any work begins. If you have an export deadline or time-sensitive requirement, tell us when you contact us and we will confirm whether it is achievable before you commit.
Our documentation is produced to the standards that international mineral buyers, export agencies, and regulatory bodies require. We understand what different destination markets look for in a refinery certificate, and we build that in from the start. If you have a specific buyer or destination with a stated requirement, bring it to us before we begin.
We handle the full range of Uganda's mineral output, including gemstones, base metals, and other mineral categories relevant to our consultancy and assaying services. If you have a mineral you are not certain we cover, contact us directly. We will give you a straight answer.
Yes. Our services are designed to connect. A single consignment can move through assaying, refining, certification, and logistics documentation under one chain of custody, without the client having to manage multiple operators or reconcile conflicting paper trails. This is one of the practical advantages of engaging a full-spectrum operation.
Tell us what you have.
We will tell you what we can do with it.
Whether you know exactly which service you need or you are not yet sure, the right first step is a conversation. Contact our team with your consignment details or your question. We will give you a direct answer and a clear path forward.
