The Perth Mint appointed as an LBMA global referee
The Perth Mint has reached an exciting milestone, further cementing its reputation as one of the world’s leading precious metals refiners. We are proud to announce that we have been appointed as one of just seven global referees by the LBMA, the foremost authority in the international precious metals market.
This prestigious appointment is a testament to the exceptional quality, integrity and expertise we have upheld for more than 125 years. It follows a rigorous selection process by the LBMA, which included a visit to our refinery in Perth and an extensive evaluation of our laboratory and assaying capabilities.
What this means for the industry
As an LBMA referee, The Perth Mint will play a key role in upholding the highest industry standards. We will work with the LBMA to support applications from refiners around the world for Good Delivery List accreditation, provide assaying of samples provided by Good Delivery List refiners as part of proactive monitoring, as well as provision of gold and silver reference samples.
