Kennecott Utah Copper LLC added to the LBMA’s Good Delivery Gold List
Tuesday, April 22, 2014
The precious metals refinery of Kennecott Utah Copper LLC (Kennecott) of the United States of America has been added to the LBMA’s Good Delivery List for gold with effect from 22nd April, 2014.
Kennecott has satisfied the LBMA as to its ownership, history, production capability and financial standing. It has also passed the LBMA’s exhaustive testing procedures, under which its gold bars were examined and assayed by independent referees, and its own assaying capabilities were tested.
Kennecott is located in Magna, Utah. Its primary sources of feedstock are anode slimes from the refining of copper and mined material. Kennecott’s refined gold output is mainly in the form of cast bars.
