OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Mineral Supply Chains, 3rd ed., with the Gold Supplement and Annex II
OECD · Voluntary; incorporated by the LBMA, UAE, Swiss, EU and ICGLR rules
OECD · 3rd edition (2016), Annex I five-step framework, Annex II model policy, Supplement on Gold
The framework the SEC (Rule 13p-1), the 2023 US Africa Gold Advisory, the UAE, Swiss, EU and LBMA rules all incorporate; the S.3496 strategy cites 'industry-standard responsible sourcing and due diligence standards'.
US interagency Africa Gold Advisory of 27 June 2023 (State, Treasury/OFAC, Commerce, DHS, Labor, USAID): risks, sanctions and due-diligence expectations for gold from or through sub-Saharan Africa
United States (advisory) · Advisory, not a rule: it sets the expectations US agencies apply when they look at an African gold chain
US Departments of State, Treasury (incl. OFAC), Commerce, Homeland Security, Labor; USAID · Interagency advisory of 27 June 2023: Part II Risks, Part III Sanctions, Part IV Due Diligence (A OECD framework, B AML / FinCEN, C Minamata, D industry frameworks)
State co-authored it. It names Uganda as a transit route for DRC gold and the UAE as the refining hub, and asks industry to 'adopt and apply strengthened due diligence practices'.
Swiss Precious Metals Control Act and Ordinance, the total revision adopted 20 June 2025 (whole-chain OECD due diligence) and the Sudan gold ban of 10 September 2026
Switzerland · Revised Act adopted 20 Jun 2025 (ordinance pending); Sudanese gold banned since 10 Sep 2026

Switzerland refines most of the world's gold; a Swiss LBMA refiner is the last stop of Route A.
Uganda Mining and Minerals Act 2022, Mining and Minerals Regulations 2023 and the February 2026 gold purchase and export guidelines
Uganda · Export permit per consignment; US$200/kg refined-gold levy; dealer licences expire 31 Dec

Uganda is the transit country the Africa Gold Advisory and the 2022 OFAC designations single out; the dealer licence, Form 52 export permit and certificate of analysis are the documents that separate legal from laundered gold.
ICGLR Regional Certification Mechanism (manual 2nd ed.): mine inspection, chain of custody, export certificate, tracking and audit
Great Lakes Region · Certificate per export shipment; Uganda certified since April 2024
International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) · 2nd edition: Component 1 mine-site inspection and certification, Component 2 chain-of-custody tracking, Component 3 export certification, Component 4 tracking database, Component 5 third-party audits

Colombia is named in S.3496 and has a standing US cooperation memorandum on illegal mining; RUCOM registration and the certificado de origen are what a US refiner must see.
OFAC sanctions screening (incl. the Global Magnitsky gold designations), FinCEN 31 CFR Part 1027 AML programme for dealers in precious metals, Form 8300 cash reports, Section 307 forced-labour import ban, and the Venezuela General License 51 conditions

Dodd-Frank Act §1502 and SEC Rule 13p-1: Form SD and the Conflict Minerals Report
United States · Form SD by 31 May each year; repeal bill H.R. 7085 stalled on the Union Calendar
US Congress / Securities and Exchange Commission · 15 U.S.C. §78m(p); 17 CFR 240.13p-1; Form SD Item 1.01 (reasonable country of origin inquiry, due diligence, Conflict Minerals Report); SEC Release 34-67716 (22 Aug 2012)
Gold from the DRC or an adjoining country (Uganda is one) triggers the reasonable country-of-origin inquiry for every SEC registrant downstream.
Guyana Gold Board Act (Cap 66:01) and the Mining Act 1989 royalty regime (5 %; 8 % above US$1,000/oz in large-scale agreements)
Guyana · All gold sold to the Gold Board or a licensed dealer; royalty by price tier
Co-operative Republic of Guyana (Guyana Gold Board, Guyana Geology and Mines Commission) · GGB Act s. 6(2) (producers sell to the Board or its authorised agent within 28 days), s. 7(1) (holders of gold sell to the Board); Mining Act 1989 (claims and licences); GGMC royalty regime
Guyana is the INL 'Pit to Port' country; the June 2024 OFAC designation of one of its largest gold exporters was for undeclared exports, which is exactly the Gold Board declaration this rule checks.
United States Legal Gold and Mining Partnership Act, S. 3496 (119th Congress), introduced 16 Dec 2025 — pending legislation, not law
United States (bill) · Pending: strategy due 180 days after enactment; Western Hemisphere focus (Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Nicaragua)

EU · Applies 14 Dec 2027
European Union · Art 3 prohibition; Chapter III investigations (Arts 15–20, incl. Arts 17–18 information requests and decisions); applies from 14 December 2027

FAQ
Questions people ask first
Is this real gold?
It is demo data: a demo trading organisation, demo counterparties and demo documents on our development platform. The regulations, citations and checks are real and link to the official texts.
Which regulations are checked?
OECD Due Diligence Guidance, the US Africa Gold Advisory, OFAC and FinCEN rules, the Minamata Convention, the Guyana Gold Board rules, LBMA Responsible Gold Guidance, UAE, Swiss, Ugandan and Colombian instruments, and Form SD / Section 1502. Each card shows the issuer and the article it rests on.
Does this certify the gold?
No. Bext360 shows which evidence is held, which is partial and which is missing, with the source. Certification remains with auditors and regulators.
Can a refiner or a government use this?
Yes. Refiners get intake assay, KYC and screening attached to the arriving lot. Governments get pit-to-port visibility with royalty receipts and export permits per consignment.
How is this different from a paper certificate?
A certificate describes a shipment once. Here the data is captured at each step by the people handling the metal, sealed when it is captured, and checked continuously.
