The corridors, refining hubs and vaulting jurisdictions that anchor every consignment.
Our operating map is deliberately narrow. We work only in jurisdictions where licensed mining, tier-one refining, insured logistics and recognised bank settlement operate in concert. That discipline is what allows us to promise institutional buyers a consistent standard from mine to vault, regardless of which corridor a specific consignment travels.
Headquarters, Dénia, Spain
Our trading desk operates from Dénia on the Costa Blanca, within the European Union's regulatory perimeter. Spain's status as an EU member state provides full access to Single Market financial infrastructure, established anti-money-laundering frameworks and a mature legal environment for cross-border commodity contracts.
United Kingdom, London bullion market
London remains the reference market for gold, home to the LBMA Good Delivery standard and the twice-daily price benchmark that anchors global trade. We maintain settlement, custody and refinery relationships in London to ensure Burlcore consignments intake cleanly against LBMA norms.
United Arab Emirates, Dubai
The DMCC free zone and DGD-accredited refining ecosystem make Dubai a critical node for Middle Eastern and Asian flow. Burlcore engages only with DMCC-registered counterparties and refineries operating on the DMCC Rules for Risk-Based Due Diligence.
Singapore and Hong Kong, Asian settlement
For Asia-Pacific delivery, Singapore's SGPMX-linked infrastructure and Hong Kong's long-standing bullion market provide the settlement, storage and secondary-market liquidity our institutional clients require. Both jurisdictions offer stable legal frameworks and mature customs regimes for high-value commodity movement.
Switzerland, secondary refining
Approximately two-thirds of the world's gold is refined in Switzerland. Our relationships with the four Swiss LBMA-accredited refiners provide fallback refining capacity and access to the Swiss vaulting ecosystem when client mandates require Swiss-origin bars.
Upstream, West Africa and Latin America
Our upstream corridors are limited to licensed medium-scale producers in jurisdictions with functioning mining codes and export licensing regimes. Each producer relationship is preceded by on-site due diligence, and every corridor is subject to the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals.
Jurisdictions we do not operate in
We do not accept material originating from conflict-affected or high-risk areas as defined by the OECD, from jurisdictions under active international sanctions, or from producers unable to evidence a valid mining licence and export permit. This restriction is a hard rule of engagement, not a preference.
