THE FACE OF INNOVATION

The most coveted bullion bar in the world, the Lady Fortuna was PAMP’s first innovation, forever changing the way bullion enthusiasts perceive precious metals. The exquisitely minted design not only draws attention thanks to its obvious beauty, but also underscores the rarity and inherent value of precious metals. PAMP was the first refiner and fabricator of precious metals to emphasize those qualities with decorative bullion designs that speak to our most human instincts.

There is truth in the saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. As the leading global bullion brand, PAMP understands that a single image can communicate core values and quality excellence in a way that words cannot. And so it is with the celebrated Lady Fortuna™ bullion design. For 40-years and counting, this distinctive emblem has been our global ambassador, assuring customers and markets worldwide of authenticity, incomparable credentials and a level and range of services found nowhere else in the precious metals industry.

Since then, the innovations have been, and continue to be, many. Secure, sealed and assayer-signed CertiPAMP™ packaging was an industry first and is today the accepted packaging standard.

Innovative bullion products such as ingots for pendant wear with exceptional reverse-side designs revealed new opportunities to collect and enjoy bullion.

CREDENTIALS

As in all businesses, trust is the bedrock upon which lasting partnerships are built, and perhaps no more so than within the precious metals industry and markets. And that is why accreditations and certifications are absolutely essential to the refining, fabrication and trading of precious metals.

The most vital accreditation any refiner and fabricator of precious metals can receive and maintain is that of Good Delivery, a rigorous system supporting product authenticity, and operational transparency and ethics, as designated by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), the industry’s most influential regulatory body. Likewise, the London Platinum and Palladium Market (LPPM) grants Good Delivery accreditation to platinum and palladium products that meet its demanding criteria.Only Good Delivery bullion can be traded on the world’s leading commodities and futures markets, testament to the authority of those organizations and accreditations.

Soon after its founding in 1977, PAMP gold bullion was recognized as Good Delivery, with silver, platinum and palladium accreditations following soon thereafter. Moreover PAMP continuously exceeds Swiss Precious Metals Control laws and regulations, which are among the most rigorous in the world.

It is a point of fact that PAMP is the world’s most accredited refiner and fabricator of precious metals.

THE REFINERY

PAMP’s independent, government-sworn assayers of precious metals work in accordance with the Swiss Precious Metals Control Law (LCMP) and strictly follow the legislation and directives issued by the Central Office for Precious Metals Control in Bern (BCMP). And so, as per Swiss law, sworn assayers operate autonomously, without any corporate or external influences, assuring impartial and accurate assaying results.

Gold, silver or Platinum Group Metals (PGM) – each requires unique assaying procedures. Truly state-of-the-art, the PAMP Assay Laboratory provides its clientele with a comprehensive range of services that includes fire, spectrometric, ICP, X-ray, and chemical assays. All material arriving at the refinery, whether doré or recycled, is melted and sampled and retested as often as necessary throughout refining and fabrication processes.

PAMP’s Assay Laboratory is certified as conforming to the general competency requirements to carry out tests and/or calibrations, including sampling, of the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO / IEC ‘17025 : 2005’ Accredited).

An external affirmation of our high standards, PAMP is one of only three ‘Approved Good Delivery Referees’ of both the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) and London Platinum and Palladium Market (LPPM), responsible for the testing of samples, the provision of reference samples and other functions in support of the Good Delivery system.

REFINING

In synergy with the Assay Laboratory, PAMP’s refinery operations are the very core of the company’s activities, servicing not only a global bullion clientele but also many industrial sectors whose products and services rely upon the distinctive properties of precious metals. The science behind the refinement process is as unique as the metal treated. Uncommonly efficient, the factory’s refining capacity exceeds 450-metric tons for gold, 600-metric tons for silver and 50-metric tons for PGM per year.

PAMP refines gold-based materials from diverse industries, primarily the mining and the jewelry and watch sectors. With fine metal content determined, the material is converted into anodes that are then positioned within electrolytic cells where the gold is separated from other elements. That treatment results in the deposit of gold sponge in purities ranging between 99,99% and 99,999%. Once purity has been accurately established, the sponge is washed, dried and then transformed into a variety of products, including grains, bars, strips, rods, wire or other products clients may request.

The refining division also treats silver-based materials received largely from mines, the silverware industry and other industrial sectors, as well as from silver recovered during refining of gold-based materials. Like gold, once the fine metal content has been determined, the material is converted into anodes held within electrolytic cells for separation from other elements. Resultant silver crystal deposits range in purity from 99,99% to 99,999%, which may then form an array of products that meet our clients’ specific needs.

The refining of Platinum Group Metals (PGM) involves highly complex chemical processes specific to composition. The application of the appropriate substances, and the subsequent chemical reactions, facilitates the separation of PGM from other elements. PAMP also produces various alloys of platinum and palladium for the jewelry and watch industries, as well as other alloys requested for advanced industrial applications. Our specialized laboratory is dedicated to the production of PGM-based compounds, sponge and grains while pursuing research and development activities essential to the field.

Though PAMP services a multitude of industries and clients, bullion – or precious metals bars – remains a principal activity with an impeccable reputation worldwide that spans four-decades and counting.

Our cutting-edge refinery manufactures cast bars in gold, silver, platinum and palladium, available in an extensive choice of sizes, weights (from 1-tael to

1,000-ounces) and purities that can be matched to the special requirements of regional markets, industries and end-users.

PAMP is LBMA Good Delivery accredited, offering gold and silver products that are recognized and accepted as such worldwide. In addition, PAMP’s platinum and palladium products are also LPPM Good Delivery accredited.

PAMP is deliverable on all major precious metals exchanges, including COMEX/NYMEX (CME), TOCOM and Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE). Consequently, our bars are very liquid on markets around the world, a fact that provides reassurance and security to our clients. Our brand is highly trusted and recognized throughout the industry, second-to-none. Indeed, the quality and reputability of PAMP products are among our most precious assets.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

As technological advancements increase at an ever quickening pace, precious metals play a greater role throughout many global industries and have a profound impact upon the world we live in and our quality of life. PAMP was founded upon metallurgical expertise, and our activities within the realm of industrial metals and their applications are trusted and relied upon for the same quality excellence for which all our products and services are renowned worldwide.

The World at Work with Precious Metals

Gold, silver and the Platinum Group Metals (PGM) inherently possess distinctive properties ideally suited to enhance or improve various industrial processes. For instance, gold, arguably the world’s most celebrated precious metal, continues to reveal unique qualities and compatibilities that make it an essential component in the fields of medicine and medical treatments. Also, considering the growing scarcity of natural deposits, increasing demand necessitates new sources of extraction and refining, particularly through recovery of recycled materials derived from diverse industries.

Silver has long been referred to as the ‘indispensable precious metal’ thanks to its many industrial uses. PAMP’s electrolytically refined silver derivatives are superior in every way to those that are chemically refined by conventional suppliers and commonly available across global markets. Indeed, PAMP’s silver derivatives are the preferred choice for a variety of industrial applications, including silver plating baths; jewellery manufacture; electronic components; automotive parts; electrical connectors; coinage; the aerospace industry, and for semi-conductors.

The Platinum Group Metals (PGM) possess unique qualities that place them among the world’s most fundamentally significant elements, with increasingly innovative uses essential to many industrial benefits. The refining of Platinum Group Metals involves highly complex chemical processes specific to composition. PAMP refines platinum-, palladium- and rhodium-bearing materials from many sectors, also as recovery from gold and silver refining as well as from the recycling and mining industries. As one of its greatest strengths, PAMP is particularly relied upon as a trusted refiner and supplier to the jewellery industry of Platinum Group Metals recovered from the industrial sector.

THE MINT

It is perhaps a little known fact that PAMP began as a facility for the minting of exceptional gold bars. The acronym speaks volumes – PAMP – Produits Artistiques Métaux Précieux – a brand committed to emphasizing the inherent beauty and value of precious metals through exquisitely designed and minted ingots in the widest range of sizes and weights available anywhere. Today, PAMP controls more than half of the world’s market for minted bars.

The Lady FortunaTM

PAMP was the first precious metals fabricator to use an artistic design to decorate the reverse side of its small bars. The Lady Fortuna is today the world’s most iconic ingot motif.

Unequaled Precision. Exceptionally Swiss

19

In fact, our commitment to fostering cutting edge technology, innovation and artistry has made PAMP one of the world’s most preferred custom mints. No other mint in the world can anticipate and accommodate a client’s minting needs like PAMP, whether fulfilling custom orders for small bars, legal tender commemorative coins and medals, or semi-fabricated products that serve a variety of industrial sectors.

Page 12: TheArt of Precious Metal Transformation€¦ · Only Good Delivery bullion can be traded on the world’s leading commodities and futures markets, testament to the authority of those

MINTED BARS

Manufactured with the same Good Delivery integrity as our cast bars, PAMP’s minted bars offer both connoisseurs and investors compelling designs that add value to the fine precious metal content; making PAMP bars the most coveted and collectible bullion in the world.

The artistry, craftsmanship and finishing of our products are synonymous with PAMP quality excellence, from the iconic Lady Fortuna motif to the latest Lunar Calendar bars depicting symbols of the Chinese zodiac. Whether minted in gold, silver, platinum, palladium or rhodium, PAMP’s wide range of sizes, shapes and weights – from 0.3g to 1kg – is unequaled, making our brand the global market leader for minted bars.

And, PAMP’s in-house creative team is on-hand to fulfill any custom order with original design, finishing and packaging solutions – a service that is thoroughly unique within the industry.

The World’s Leading Bullion Brand

When the Occasion is Precious

COLLECTIBLES

From the beginning PAMP has changed industry and market perceptions of precious metals products thanks to a variety of design innovations. PAMP was the first to introduce small bars for pendant wear, creating bars with jeweler-grade finishing and integrated bales or hangers. Today the PAMP catalogue of keepsake designs continues to expand with original collections of ingot-pendants, commemorative coins and medals, bullion sets, and corporate gifts.

Significantly PAMP’s many editions of legal tender coins have led to prestigious partnerships with world-renowned brands, artists and organizations. Foremost among those is UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), which distinguished PAMP as an essential partner for the management of its international coin and medal program.
