About Us
A Bridge Between Africa and the Global Commodities Market
Diaspora Gold Exchange was founded by Lawrence B. Ross, a U.S. Series 3–licensed Commodities Trading Advisor with institutional trading relationships. Our mission is to help African producers and governments access fair market pricing, transparent financing, and verified trade settlement across precious metals and strategic minerals. We work with ministries, agencies, and private producers to align transactions with national development goals and responsible-sourcing standards.
Why Diaspora Gold Exchange?
We combine Africa-focused insight, licensed market expertise, and institutional relationships to create a safe, transparent bridge between African mineral producers, ministries, and global buyers.
How It Works
Whether you are a seller, a buyer, or a public institution, Diaspora Gold Exchange follows a clear, disciplined process designed to protect all sides and move deals to completion.
Submit & Verify
You send us your offer or buying request with basic documents (company details, mineral type, quantities, licenses). We review for completeness, legitimacy, and policy alignment.
Match & Structure
We match verified sellers, buyers, and where relevant, ministries or state entities. We agree on pricing structure and outline how the trade will be executed — including Incoterms, delivery, and payment method.
Execute & Settle
Trades move forward using secure settlement tools such as Letters of Credit or escrow, with clear responsibilities for logistics, inspection, compliance documentation, and final payment.
Sell Your Minerals
Connect your mine, cooperative, or export agency to verified global buyers and institutional desks. We specialize in physical commodity contracts under secure financing and export procedures.
Buy Minerals
Access verified African mineral supply with traceability and compliance built in. All listings are pre-screened for legal origin, documentation, and due diligence so that institutional buyers and ministries can engage with confidence.
Featured Minerals
We focus on core minerals that power Africa’s development and the world’s energy transition.
