The Perth Mint Refinery, Cloverdale, WA

Consolidation of the industry in Australia has enabled The Perth Mint Refinery to streamline its operations and compete in national, regional and global markets with an enhanced suite of products and services. The traditional activities of refining, manufacturing and sales are changing to meet new concepts of supply and service, and new ways of doing business. An innovative treasury is as important as refining efficiency, quality and turnaround times. Manufacture and design must anticipate market trends. Sales staff are no longer order takers but partners in building the bottom line of customers. The global nature of the business is reflected in its links with the London, New York, Tokyo and Dubai financial and commodity markets, and with customers in the Indian sub-continent, South-East and Northern Asia, the Pacific, Turkey and the Middle East. For more than a century, The Perth Mint has been providing timely refining advice and service to the Australian gold mining industry and dealers in secondary precious metal scrap. Built upon the foundation established in 1899 when The Perth Mint opened as a branch the Royal Mint, Tower Hill, London, The Perth Mint has maintained a reputation for the highest standards of reliability, accuracy and integrity. Attention to maintaining these exacting technical standards has resulted in The Perth Mint - Refining Division's services being recognised and accepted throughout the world. It has provided technical consultancy services to a number of other countries to assist them with the design and development of refining facilities.
