What Emirates Gold does

Emirates Gold FZCO is a Dubai-based precious metals refinery and mint founded in 1992, operating from Jumeirah Lakes Towers with a workforce of 51-100 employees. The company's core offering spans the full bullion value chain: refining of scrap gold and silver, scrap jewelry, and gold doré into 999.9 purity bars; assaying using traditional fire assay and spectrometry; smelting; bullion trading; custom die making and minting of coins, medals, bars, and bespoke shapes; precious stones separation for jewelry recycling; and corporate gifting. It holds UAE Good Delivery (UAEGD) accreditation, meaning its bars are accepted at the Dubai Gold & Commodities Exchange (DGCX) clearing house, and it maintains ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 10002, and 17025 certifications.

In November 2024, Emirates Gold was fully acquired by Bright East Holding 1, which signaled plans to upgrade technology and capacity and pursue regional and global expansion. In 2025, the company opened a direct-to-consumer retail boutique at its refinery and, in partnership with Public Gold, launched what is described as the world's first fintech-enabled Gold and Silver ATM at the Dubai Precious Metals Conference, with a planned 35-40 unit UAE rollout in 2026 and future cryptocurrency-conversion features. Its product catalog spans 30 investment bar and coin variants, 15 cast bar and granule variants, and 6 custom "Build Your Own" shapes, alongside an Arabian Heritage Collections line. Target customers include individual retail investors (primary), corporate clients seeking customized precious-metal products, and jewelry manufacturers requiring refining and stone-separation services, with stated expansion intent toward India, the wider GCC, and key Asian markets.
