Our Bullion Bank trading activities encompass market-making in the OTC wholesale gold markets, trading gold futures, and participating in LBMA Gold auctions. Given the volume of gold for custody, substantial savings can be achieved by establishing a dedicated business unit for selling gold at international mid-market or fixed rates.

Purchase LBMA standard 9999 hallmarked gold bars and coins, primarily from Perth Mint, with additional supply from other reputable sources, ensuring premium quality through LBMA's rigorous accreditation and retesting processes.

Quantum Metal guarantees to buy back gold bullion purchased from us, either vaulted or held by customers, based on the metal spot price minus a premium, with in-person buybacks available in Melbourne. Non-sealed bullion may require verification, and premiums/discounts are subject to change at Quantum Metal's discretion, but jewelry and scrap metal are not accepted.

Tokenizing gold converts physical metal into fractional digital tokens, allowing for easy transfer and instant trading without counterparty risk. Each token is backed by vaulted gold, which can be redeemed for the actual metal, ensuring secure and divisible ownership.

Gold as collateral enables borrowing U.S. dollars through the gold forward offered rate (GOFO), with interest secured by the gold. This requires collaboration with an Australian LBMA member, of which there are seven accredited in Australia.

The gold lease rate (GLR) represents the cost of borrowing gold and is applied as the lending rate for lease transactions. We offer gold leasing to businesses such as jewelry manufacturers and mining companies, earning interest on these transactions.

Bullion banks offer services to mining companies, including financing based on future gold production, long-term purchase contracts, project financing, and risk management through hedging programs with spot, forward, and options contracts.

Quantum Metal offers various bullion storage solutions, including premium private boxes and secure vault storage with trusted partners like Brinks. Storage options include Allocated, Pool Allocated, and Unallocated programs, with quarterly vaulting reports and some real-time online reporting available.
