FGA Partners Precious Metals Acquisitions
FGA Partners actively acquires gold, silver, platinum, and palladium through direct purchase agreements with qualified sellers, mining operators and refineries across global markets, while also targeting underperforming precious metals refineries for acquisition and revitalization. The firm complements this strategy by forming strategic partnerships with small- to mid-sized refineries worldwide, leveraging its established international footprint to secure consistent supply and operational efficiencies. At the core of FGA Partners’ approach is a long-term relationship model built on reliability, transparency and sustained access to high-quality precious metal sources.
What FGA Partners Seeks
FGA Partners is currently onboarding new supply partners and is open to long-term purchase agreements or spot transactions, depending on the seller’s capabilities and consistency. We would consider alluvial gold offers from legal miners as long as it is delivered to a registered local refinery of our choosing. The firm is especially interested in:
