Obuasi ASM Cluster, Ashanti Region. Sourced from GoldBod Tier 1-licensed artisanal small-scale mining operations, currently in the smelting stage ahead of resale.
Standard Pool Alpha reached its 90% funding trigger on 12 June 2026 and locked its investor roster ahead of the smelting stage. The pool procures gold from three GoldBod Tier 1-licensed ASM operators in the Obuasi cluster, and is on track for resale and investor payout in Q3 2026.
Returns are modelled on the spread between ASM procurement cost and GoldBod-assayed resale value, net of the 2% platform fee and $12/month vaulting charge. Standard Pool Alpha's return band reflects a mid-sized pool with an established supplier relationship and three completed procurement cycles.
Investor payouts are distributed within 5 business days of pool resale or physical redemption, whichever the investor elects at maturity.
Gold for this pool is procured from three GoldBod Tier 1-licensed artisanal small-scale mining operators in the Obuasi concession area, Ashanti Region — verified against MinCom MCAS concession IDs prior to first supply.
Every batch is weighed and sealed at point of procurement, transported under chain-of-custody to a GoldBod-approved assay centre, then smelted and either resold on the wholesale market or reserved for physical redemption.
This pool channels investment directly to owner-operated ASM enterprises in Ashanti Region rather than large extractive concessions, keeping gold revenue within the communities that mine it.
This pool is currently closing — remaining slots are limited.
