Where is the bullion stored?

Our clients store their bullion in Delaware, Salt Lake City, New York, London, Frankfurt, Zurich, Hong Kong and Singapore with internationally respected Via Mat International and Brink’s, two of the world’s biggest and most respected precious metals vaulting operators.

Some of our partner vaulting facilities are located in some of the safest nations globally including Switzerland and Singapore. Additionally, most of GoldCore’s vaulting facilities are located outside the EU, which could help mitigate any potential future risk that clients’ bullion could be impacted by EU or Eurozone capital controls.

International diversification is vital in these uncertain times.

Are the vaulting facilities insured?
Yes. The insurance of precious metals vaults and storage depositories is predominantly underwritten by specialist risk underwriters operating through the international insurance market. Both Via Mat and Brink’s have comprehensive insurance policies.

All our precious metals storage facilities are covered by ‘all risk’ insurance underwritten by specialist ‘specie’. This insurance agreement, which is governed by English law, covers precious metals and other valuables against physical loss, damage or disappearance up to the value of $50 million for any one loss in any one location. The agreement can be viewed by GoldCore clients upon request.

How do I ship to GoldCore Secure Storage?
Bullion owners can ship bullion of which they have taken delivery, or have their metal that is currently stored elsewhere, shipped to be stored in GoldCore Secure Storage. Please contact us to discuss the options available.

How to remove my holdings from GoldCore Secure Storage?
We can organise for your precious metals to be shipped to an address of your choice. We use a number of specialised logistics companies for these deliveries. If you wish, we can organise for your metal to be collected by yourself at the storage facility, given 10 days’ notice.

How much does GoldCore Secure Storage cost?
The cost of storing your bullion in GoldCore Secure Storage with Via Mat or Brink’s is extremely competitive, starting at only 0.70% of the value of your holding per annum. This is based on smaller holdings and the rates fall significantly the larger the size of the holding.

Storage charges are calculated and accrued daily based on a daily valuation of the client’s precious metal holding, and then billed six months in arrears at the end of each April and October.

A daily billing calculation means that the storage fee is accurately applied to the changing value of the gold, and reflects the changing gold price over the billing period. This calculation approach prevents large movements in the gold price affecting the bi-annual storage fee, which could occur if the fee was calculated based on just one day’s price.

When an Irish client buys physical gold from GoldCore, the initial purchase price does not include a storage fee. Therefore the client defers payment on storage until the first invoice date, which could be up to six months later.

For example, if a GoldCore client buys gold in the first week of May, they only get billed for their first storage fee nearly six months later at the end of October, and so the client avoids an upfront storage fee at the time of purchase.

Please let us know the amount of troy ounces you would like stored at our facilities, and we will be more than happy to provide you with a quote.

Are the precious metals holdings in GoldCore Secure Storage physically audited?
GoldCore clients’ precious metal inventory held at storage facilities of Via Mat and Brink’s is physically audited.

On an annual basis, GoldCore directs independent auditor Inspectorate International Limited to audit the precious metal inventory. This involves a physical inventory of all metal records and an audit of the weights of a sample.

Discrepancies, if found, are brought to the attention of GoldCore and the storage provider, investigated, and quickly corrected.

UK based Inspectorate International is one of the supervisors of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) good delivery system and is an associate member of the LBMA.

Are the precious metals holdings in GoldCore Secure Storage audited daily?
All client precious metal (gold, silver, platinum and palladium) stored by GoldCore at storage facilities is audited via a tri-party auditing procedure.

On a daily basis, GoldCore Operations will reconcile client precious metal storage records against the vaulting records of the storage provider. If discrepancies are found in the records, these are fully investigated and quickly resolved.
