01 / ABOUT REFINEX
Focused precious-metal services, based in Johannesburg South.
RefineX is the trading name of The Gold and Diamond Dealer (Pty) Ltd. We provide in-house refining and recovery alongside assay, testing, outright purchasing, metal trading and brokerage.
We start with the material’s source, quantity, known composition and the commercial outcome required. Receiving, weighing, sampling, assay and processing support the final documented result.
We work with precious-metal dealers, jewellers, mining businesses, recyclers and other qualifying commercial customers.
02 / OUR SERVICES
Refining, assessment and precious-metal transactions.
RefineX offers different routes for qualifying materials. The service depends on composition, source, the required commercial outcome and agreed terms.

The material matters as much as the metal.
Different feedstocks and metal categories are assessed individually to establish what can safely and lawfully be accepted.
Jewellery & workshop scrap
Gold-, silver- and platinum-bearing jewellery scrap, qualifying workshop sweepings, filings and related materials.
Mining-related materials
Mining ore, material from mine dumps and related metal-bearing feedstocks assessed for composition, provenance and suitability.
Specialised electronic components
Selected electronic components with potentially recoverable metals. This does not mean automatic acceptance of electronic waste.
Metal-bearing residues
Industrial or processing residues where their source, metal content and safe handling requirements are sufficiently understood.
We do not accept hazardous, restricted, unsuitable or commercially uneconomical materials. Please contact us before arranging a delivery.

06 / QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Before you make an enquiry.
These answers explain the enquiry process. Any accepted agreement governs the transaction.
Get in touchWhich metals can I enquire about?
RefineX considers gold, silver and platinum-group metals, including platinum, palladium and rhodium, as well as copper- and chrome-related industrial materials. Availability depends on material type, composition, quantity and the agreed service.
Who can contact RefineX?
Our services are aimed at precious-metal dealers, jewellers, mining businesses, recyclers and other commercial customers. Relevant customer and material verification may include KYC, provenance records and industry-specific licence checks.
Where is RefineX based?
RefineX operates from Johannesburg South, Gauteng, and offers in-house refining. Please arrange material delivery or a visit in advance using the agreed receiving instructions.
Can I enquire about specialised electronic components?
Yes. Tell us what components you have, their origin, quantity and any known metal content. RefineX considers specialised components individually; hazardous, restricted and unsuitable materials are excluded.
What if I do not know the metal content?
Tell us what you know about the material, its source and approximate quantity. Sampling, assay or testing may help determine content and suitability before refining or purchasing terms are agreed.
How does an enquiry progress?
We review material and relevant customer information, agree the service or purchasing arrangement, and document receiving, weighing, sampling and assay where applicable. In-house processing and final reporting follow for refining, while purchasing follows its own valuation and settlement terms.
