Artisanal Mining
From our name Yato Artisanal, you can tell we are artisanal miners. Cameroon is one of the few gold-rich countries in Africa that is keen to tap the rare natural resource and kick start its economy.
Currently, Cameroon gold is mainly mined by small-scale artisans. In fact, according to the government, the estimate of small-scale artisanal mining produced about 16,653 kgs of gold between 2010 and 2015.
Brokering
It is not everyday we have gold stock hence we do a little bit of brokering as well. We do not act like middlemen but simply broker a deal between a buyer and seller. Our commission comes from the buyer while the seller pays a small fee. The price we give is the same price given by the seller. We do not add anything extra. There are no hidden fees. If you are in contact with a vendor in Cameroon and need someone to broker the deal for you, then you can contact us.
Smelting
We are one of the few artisanal miners in the country who can smelt Gold. The process of purification involves subjecting the metal to intense heat to remove impurities and burning dross. This laborious process is necessary because the metal becomes more valuable when refined and is used in various applications. The heat, straining off, and the overall refining process are essential for producing top-quality materials.
