Our story

Built on trust, tested by fire.

Instant Gold Refinery opened its doors in Nakuru, Kenya in 2019 with one simple idea: miners, dealers and jewellers deserve a refinery that is fast, honest and precise — without the waiting, without the mystery.

Today we smelt, assay, refine and cast for small-scale miners and established traders alike. Whether you bring a few grams of dust or a kilogram of doré, you get the same process, the same care and the same straight answers.

In front of you

Weighing, sampling and pouring happen where you can see them. No back rooms.

Measured, not guessed

Calibrated scales and proper assay methods behind every figure we quote.

Instant by name

Most smelting and assay jobs are turned around the same day you walk in.

A word from our CEO

Gold is the most trusted metal on earth. A refinery should earn that same trust — by doing everything in the open, measuring everything precisely, and paying people what their gold is truly worth.
