Gold ingots
Main characteristics
- GOST 28058-2015;
- gold content — min 99,99%;
- ingot weight 11 to 13,3 kg.
Gold ingots are manufactured by processing of the copper slime formed during copper electrolytic refinery. Due to the unique gold refining process, gold has very high-purity.
Gold ingots are manufactured in grade rating as ZlA-1P, ZlA-1, ZlA-2, ZlA-3.

- Sign “-“ in the table means that the impurity is measured but not specified.
- Column “Total” summarizes all impurities listed in the table.
Product form and packaging
The gold ingot surface should be free of beadings, burrs, scratches, grease stains or other foreign inclusions.
On the front surface of the gold ingot is allowed presence of scraping areas with a depth of no more than 1 mm. and presence of concavity with a depth of no more than 5 mm. as a result of shrinkage during metal crystallization.
Each ingot is subject to surface inspection, marking and weighing. The weight of ingot shall be within the range 11 to 13.3 kg. The ingots are manufactured in form of truncated pyramid. Upon agreement with the customer it is possible to manufacture other ingots in term of shape, weight and dimensions.
