Act No. 37 of 2005: Precious Metals Act, 2005 South Africa

The Precious Metals Act, 2005 (Act No. 37 of 2005) is essential legislation governing the acquisition, possession, processing, and disposal of precious metals in South Africa. Understanding its provisions is crucial for obtaining and maintaining a licence to operate in this industry.

This Act applies to various precious metals, including gold, platinum group metals, their ores, and any additional metals designated by the Minister. It outlines regulations for:

  • Obtaining Licences and Permits: Different licences are required for activities like refining, beneficiation (value addition), and jewellery making.
  • Record Keeping: Maintaining accurate records of precious metal transactions is mandatory.
  • Inspections: The South African Police Service and authorized officials have the authority to inspect premises and seize unlicensed materials.
  • Offences and Penalties: Violations of the Act can result in penalties and confiscation of precious metals.

Familiarization is Key

A thorough understanding of the Precious Metals Act is vital for your licence application process. Inspectors may ask you questions to assess your knowledge of the Act’s requirements. We highly recommend reviewing the Act in detail to ensure you are well-prepared for any enquiries during the inspection.
