SigraFi has secured a $35 million credit facility led by a consortium of British and UAE investors. The capital is available for immediate drawdown to expand gold supply operations from artisanal mining cooperatives.
Why it matters
This financing allows SigraFi to scale its offtake agreements and contract new mining suppliers in key regions. The expansion aims to boost gold supply despite expectations that global production will plateau.
SigraFi secured a $35 million facility to support a network that currently includes a partnership with PeaceGold covering 25,000 miners and 11 cooperatives. Artisanal gold mining represents 20% of the total global newly mined supply.

Led by Ronin Commercial Brokers LLC, the consortium provided the funds to support SigraFi’s model of purchasing gold through multi-year contracts. The company currently maintains operations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Zambia, and South America to facilitate exports.

SigraFi was founded in 2025.
The partnership with PeaceGold was signed in 2026.

Market Landscape
This deal underscores the industry's focus on securing supply chains within the artisanal mining sector. By scaling operations, SigraFi positions itself to capture market share as global mined gold production is expected to plateau.
The expansion of these supply operations does not directly change retail gold pricing or consumer purchasing habits. However, it indicates a broader move by firms to formalize and finance smaller-scale mining production routes.
The takeaway
Securing private credit facilities allows mining aggregators to stabilize supply chains from artisanal cooperatives. Investors are increasingly looking to bridge the gap between small-scale production and global gold market requirements.
