Precious-Metals Export — the Ghana–Togo (Lomé) Corridor
Documented, GoldBod-compliant, OECD-aligned precious-metals export facilitation through the Ghana–Togo (Lomé) corridor and Francophone West Africa — legitimate channels only, explicitly not the undocumented routes the corridor is sometimes associated with. Priced against international spot, never below. Institutional partners only. Since 1992.
The Ghana–Togo (Lomé) corridor is one of West Africa’s most important precious-metals trade routes — and, used properly, one of its most documented. Kronix Metals facilitates export across it the only way a legitimate facilitator should: through papered, GoldBod-compliant, OECD-aligned channels, with a clean chain-of-custody record at every handover from origin through Lomé and into Francophone West Africa. This is the corridor as a documentation discipline — explicitly not the undocumented or smuggling routes it is sometimes associated with. Since 1992. Discuss a supply partnership — or request a proposal against spot: +233 27 000 0844 (Togo / Lomé: +228 96 86 86 75). Institutional partners only.
The Corridor, Done the Documented Way
Legitimate Channels Only
Every export is structured within the GoldBod regime and the customs and transit requirements of each leg. We use the corridor as a legitimate, documented trade route — never the undocumented routes it is sometimes associated with.
Verified Source, Known Buyer
OECD-aligned due diligence on the source and the institutional counterparty before anything moves — so the trade is legitimate by construction.
Assayed and Reconciled
Only assayed, chain-of-custody material crosses; fineness certified, weight reconciled. The parcel that arrives is the parcel that left.
Valued Against Spot — Never Below
Valued against international spot (LBMA / COMEX) for assayed fineness and weight. No invented “Ghana price”; never below spot.
What a Compliant Corridor Export Delivers
| Stage | What we deliver | |---|---| | Source & counterparty | OECD-aligned due diligence, both verified | | Assay & reconciliation | Certified fineness, weight reconciled, chain-of-custody | | Export & customs | GoldBod regime + customs/transit documentation, each leg | | Cross-border logistics | Sealed, insured, clean custody record through Lomé | | Valuation & settlement | Against international spot (LBMA / COMEX), never below |
How a Corridor Export Works
- Source & counterparty verified — documented, GoldBod-compliant source; known institutional buyer.
- Assayed material — certified fineness, weight reconciled, chain-of-custody intact.
- Export & customs documentation — GoldBod regime plus the customs/transit papers each leg requires.
- Secure cross-border logistics — sealed, insured, clean custody record from origin through Lomé.
- Valuation against spot & settlement — never invented, never below spot; delivered to specification.
Markets We Genuinely Serve
We facilitate corridor export between West African supply and institutional buyers in the United Kingdom and major European markets, across Africa, and through the Ghana–Togo (Lomé) corridor and Francophone West Africa — in English and French. We describe only the markets we actually serve; we are an institutional partner, not a retail seller.
Legitimacy & Compliance
- We operate within the Ghana Gold Board Act, 2025 (Act 1140) — under which GoldBod is the sole legal buyer, assayer, and exporter of ASM-sector gold. We work within that framework and do not claim to be GoldBod, to mine, or to be a refinery
- Documented, legitimate corridor channels only — export and customs structuring at every handover, never the undocumented or smuggling routes the corridor is sometimes associated with
- Responsible-sourcing due diligence aligned to the OECD framework and documented chain-of-custody across the corridor
- Valued against international spot, never below; no Ghana refinery is LBMA-accredited and we make no such claim
- Institutional partners only — refineries, banks, investors, manufacturers, export houses; we do not sell precious metals to the public
Areas & Markets
Kronix Metals facilitates documented precious-metals export from Ghana (Accra, Tema, Kumasi) across the Ghana–Togo (Lomé) corridor and Francophone West Africa, and to institutional buyers in the UK, major European markets, and across Africa.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Ghana–Togo (Lomé) corridor in precious-metals trade? The documented cross-border route by which legitimately sourced, assayed metals reach Lomé and Francophone West Africa and onward to institutional buyers. We facilitate it through papered, compliant channels only — explicitly not the undocumented routes it is sometimes associated with.
Is corridor export legal and compliant? Yes — within Act 1140 (GoldBod), with OECD-aligned due diligence, documented chain-of-custody, and compliant customs and transit structuring at every leg. We facilitate; we do not mine, refine, or act as GoldBod.
How is corridor-exported material priced? Against international spot (LBMA / COMEX) for assayed fineness and weight — never below spot. “Below spot”, an advance fee, or a “guaranteed” parcel is the scam signature.
Who do you facilitate exports for? Institutional partners only — refineries, banks, investors, manufacturers, export houses; we do not sell to the public.
