Mandate
Osage Gold holds physical, fully allocated precious metals — gold first, silver next, platinum and palladium when warranted — in insured, audited vaults. Allocations are lot-numbered and customer-specific. Exposure is also available in tokenized form on Osage Exchange for ecosystem participants who prefer on-chain settlement.
What “allocated” means here
Each ounce held by Osage Gold is the property of a specific account. We do not lend customer metal. We do not run an unallocated pool. We do not hypothecate. The vault and the books match every audit cycle, and the audit cycle runs monthly.
Storage
- Primary vault — United States. Class III commercial vault, COMEX-eligible counterparty, in Delaware.
- Secondary — Switzerland. Free-port vault outside Zurich for partners requiring jurisdictional diversification.
- Tertiary — Singapore. Free-port vault for Asian-hours redemption.
- Standing insurance. Each location is fully insured at replacement value through the operating book.
- Bar list. Account holders receive the lot list with serial numbers and refiner stamps at allocation and at every audit.
GOLD-O on Osage Network
GOLD-O is the tokenized form of allocated gold on Osage Network. The token contract is a simple one-to-one claim: 1 GOLD-O is redeemable for one troy ounce of fine gold (.9999) from the standing vault on the issuing chain. The total supply equals the total vaulted weight, audited monthly, on-chain attested.
- Mint. An account holder deposits qualifying bullion or wires cleared funds to purchase allocated metal; GOLD-O is minted to their address one-for-one.
- Burn / redeem. GOLD-O is burned in exchange for physical delivery (above the minimum bar size) or for cleared funds at the LBMA AM fix.
- Trade. Secondary trading on Osage Exchange and approved counterparty venues.
Audit and proof of reserves
- Independent LBMA-recognised auditor; report published monthly.
- On-chain proof of reserves: hashed bar list signed by the auditor anchored to Osage Network.
- Annual physical bar count witnessed by two independent parties.
What we will not do
Operate an unallocated pool. Lend customer metal to short counterparties or earn yield on customer balances. Issue tokens against weight we do not hold. Co-mingle customer weight with house weight. List GOLD-O on venues whose settlement we cannot verify.
Why
The Wah-Zha-Zhe held the mineral estate beneath their land in common when everyone around them was telling them to divide it. Some wealth keeps better in one piece, in the ground or in the vault, than spread out across instruments that can be revalued at midnight.
