Summary of the results of the audit report by Inspectorate

At the time of audit, we had gold holdings amounting to 157 physical bars held with our custodial vault, The Safehouse Singapore.

Inspectorate inspected the entire consignment of gold bullion and confirmed that the number, weight and purity of all 157 gold holdings matched those of the inventory list. There were no signs of tampering or damage of any packages storing any of the gold bullion.

These documents are attached to every bar on our asset explorer and is available on the IPFS here.
