JOHANNESBURG – The Africa Minerals and Metals Exchange (AMME) has announced the participation of Rubix Assets and Black Earth Trading in its landmark First Delivery Program of Responsibly Sourced Gold and Silver, set to commence in 2025.

AMSG’s mission includes advocating for responsible mineral exploration and production, as well as encouraging local value addition while upholding international cooperation and environmental care.
The initiative is poised to enhance traceability and adherence to international standards, expand market access for responsibly sourced African minerals, and reinforce Africa’s reputation as a reliable and trusted supplier in the global precious metals industry.
