Who We Are?
The IBTN company was founded in 2012 in Senegal, West Africa, with the goal of facilitating the purchase of gold and precious metals. In 2022, it was officially formalized as a state-registered company in accordance with national regulations.
We have established operations in multiple West African countries and have recently expanded into East Africa to ensure a reliable supply of high-quality metals. In addition to gold and diamonds, we are expanding our activities into other minerals and metals, including coltan, phosphate, lithium, titanium, basalt, rhodium, palladium, and precious stones.
IBTN collaborates with artisanal mines to source metals for commercial distribution, adhering to international trade rules and standards. We also work in partnership with investors who seek to operate or acquire mining assets. With a strong background in raw gold production, metal research, and metal testing, we bring valuable expertise to the industry.
For diamonds, we partner with groups of miners operating under international standards, ensuring compliance with the 4 C criteria as indicated internationally trade (cut, clarity, color, and carat) as recognized in global trade…
