Transaction Lifecycle

Structured
Process

Crown Aurum uses two clearly defined workflows: one for principal gold trading and one for mandate programme advisory. Each route begins with role clarity, counterparty review, and written documentation before any commercial step proceeds.

01

Principal Trading

For transactions where Crown Aurum buys or sells gold directly on its own account under agreed commercial contracts.

View principal route
02

Mandate Advisory

For structured programmes where Crown Aurum coordinates between verified parties without assuming ownership unless separately agreed.

Principal Trading

Direct transaction
route

Principal trading begins with a formal proposal or letter of intent and proceeds through due diligence, source-of-gold verification, commercial agreement, logistics alignment, assay, and settlement.

01

Formal Proposal or LOI

The proposed gold specification, quantity, pricing basis, delivery terms, refinery arrangements, settlement structure, and supporting documentation are submitted for review.

02

Counterparty Review

Corporate identity, beneficial ownership, AML, sanctions screening, authority, and lawful source-of-gold documentation are reviewed before progression.

03

Transaction Alignment

Refinery, offtake, logistics, insurance, customs, import/export documentation, and proposed settlement methodology are coordinated where applicable.

04

Commercial Agreement

Written agreements define quantity, purity, pricing formula, delivery terms, payment terms, governing law, and dispute resolution.

05

Readiness Review

Acceptable proof of funds, approved settlement mechanisms, trade finance structures, or other agreed financial readiness evidence may be reviewed.

06

Shipment, Assay & Settlement

After commercial, compliance, logistics, and financial conditions are satisfied, shipment, assay verification, and settlement proceed under the agreed terms.

Mandate Advisory

Programme advisory
route

Mandate programme advisory is designed for controlled coordination between verified sellers, qualified buyers, approved supply channels, and relevant service providers.

01

Engagement Request

The instructing party submits details of mandate authority, transaction objectives, proposed parties, and the advisory role requested from Crown Aurum.

02

Mandate Verification

Authority, mandate documents, beneficial ownership, relationship to the transaction, and proposed advisory scope are reviewed before introductions or commercial activity.

03

Counterparty Qualification

Relevant buyers, sellers, service providers, and counterparties are assessed through risk-based KYC, AML, sanctions, source-of-funds, and source-of-gold review.

04

Transaction Structuring

Supply availability, refining arrangements, logistics requirements, documentation, and payment mechanisms are reviewed before any supply arrangement is progressed.

05

Commercial Coordination

Crown Aurum supports communication, milestone tracking, documentation flow, readiness checks, and commercial alignment between approved parties.

06

Completion

The transaction is completed in accordance with agreed written terms. Timelines and requirements vary by jurisdiction, transaction type, and counterparty profile.

No transaction should be considered active, accepted, or ready for execution until Crown Aurum confirms the applicable process in writing. Requirements vary by jurisdiction, transaction type, counterparty profile, documentation, and agreed transaction structure.
