We issue no certificates
We are not a laboratory. We issue no assay report, no purity certificate, no attestation of any kind. The documents above come from the authorities, from the insurer or from an independent laboratory, and are verified with them — which is exactly what makes them worth anything. If you are shown a document presented as issued by BENOUARETH GOLD AND DIAMONDS, tell us: it did not come from us.
