LCH gold mining operation

From Ore Body to Investment-Grade Bullion

Gold has been at the heart of LCH Holding since 2009, when we acquired our first mining concession in Ghana's Ashanti belt. Today the division operates two producing mines — Kumasi Ridge in Ghana and Sierra Dorada in Peru — together with an LBMA-aligned refinery in Switzerland that processes doré from our own operations and from carefully vetted third-party producers.

We are owner-operators, not traders. Our geologists, metallurgists and plant engineers manage every stage in-house: resource modelling, mine planning, extraction, processing and refining. That vertical integration gives our customers something rare in the gold market — a fully documented chain of custody from the ore body to the finished bar.
