Proving the origin of product, from ground to storage
Fraudulent Origin Claims Erode Market Trust
Origin fraud remains one of the most serious risks in gold trade. Commodities can be smuggled across borders, relabeled as originating from compliant sites, and sold into formal channels with falsified paperwork. This not only damages the reputation of responsible miners but also exposes buyers to regulatory penalties and financial institutions to reputational risk. Without verifiable proof of origin, compliant African producers are often excluded from premium global markets, forced to accept discounted pricing or remain in informal trade channels.

Proof of Origin at the Source
GeoTag™ provides field-anchored verification of mine sites through mobile kits, photo and video capture, and satellite-linked geospatial records. When a mining site is declared, it is locked to a digital credential that proves the origin of every shipment tied to it. This evidence is tamper-evident, timestamped, and verifiable by regulators, buyers, and financiers. With GeoTag™, provenance is no longer an after-the-fact claim—it becomes a built-in feature of the supply chain from the very first mile.
