Worth more
than its weight

AMP is a gold trading company based in Dubai. We buy gold at its source and bring it to market.

At its source means in the country where it is mined, from those who hold it there. To market means Dubai, where it is refined, tested and sold.

AMP is short for Aurum Metals Prime. Aurum is the Latin word for gold, and the reason its symbol is Au.

At the source, our partner is whoever holds the gold in that country: an authority, a mining company, the miners themselves. In Dubai, it is the refiners and buyers who take it further.

The partner differs because countries differ. Each has its own rules for who may hold, sell and export gold. We work inside those rules, with the partner they call for.

We bring equipment, know-how and our own people, and work beside the miners who already know the ground. The aim is plain: more gold from the same ground.

Much of a mine’s output is decided by its equipment and its method. When both improve, more gold is recovered from the ore already being dug. Our partner then has more to sell, and we have more to buy.

Part of what the gold earns goes back to where it was found, into people, skills and infrastructure that stay when the gold has gone.

In practice that is work and training for people near the mine, and things built to be used there. What it is in each place is agreed with our partners in that country.

We measure our work in grams, in output and in uplift. These are three parts of one trade, and each depends on the other two.

The trade comes first. Gold that is weighed and tested in the open gives both sides a reason to trade again. It is also what pays for the rest.

The work at the mine follows. A mine that recovers more gold has more to sell, so the trade grows for both sides.

The uplift is what makes it last. Where skills grow and what is built stays in use, a mine becomes a better place to work and a steadier place to buy from.

A trade that takes and leaves does not last. A trade that leaves a mine working better and a place stronger is one both sides want to keep.

That is the kind we build.
