About AGR Kenya

A new chapter for institutional gold in East Africa.

Africa Gold Refinery (Kenya) Limited is a Kenyan-registered refinery, building from Nairobi to serve East African producers, bullion buyers, and institutions to global standards.

Why Kenya

Kenya is the natural anchor for East African gold.

Kenya’s regulatory framework, banking infrastructure, and logistics network make Nairobi the most credible base from which to refine and clear East African gold to international specifications. Mining activity in Migori, Kakamega and Vihiga has matured. The Mining Act, 2016 sets a clear licensing and royalty regime. Kenya Revenue Authority and the Central Bank of Kenya provide the financial-compliance backbone international counterparties expect.

AGR Kenya is built to operate inside that frame, not around it.

How We Operate

Three principles, applied to every gram.

Principle 01

Document everything.

Every receipt has a chain-of-custody record. Every melt has a mass-balance reconciliation. Every shipment has a sealed insured run.

Principle 02

Refuse what we cannot trace.

Doré that fails our OECD due diligence is returned, not refined. We will not refine our way around the rules.

Principle 03

Earn certifications honestly.

We name what we hold today and what we are working toward. We will not claim LBMA Good Delivery, RJC certification or ISO standards until they are issued.

Leadership

Kenyan-led, internationally informed.

Detailed leadership biographies will be published as the team is finalised ahead of operational launch in 2026. The board will balance Kenyan industry experience with international refining and compliance veterans.
