From Africa to Asia: Issuing SKRs for Mines in Nearly Every Country 

A Global Need for Mine Safekeeping Receipts

In today’s complex and rapidly evolving financial ecosystem, mining companies and asset holders need secure and credible documentation to validate ownership and facilitate financial transactions. Safekeeping Receipts (SKRs) have become one of the most powerful instruments for asset verification and collateralization.

At Global Trust Depository, we are proud to be the only company in the world offering international SKR issuance specifically for mining assets. Whether it’s a gold mine in Ghana, a silver deposit in Mexico, or a coal operation in Indonesia, we provide mine safekeeping receipts across continents — from Africa to Asia and everywhere in between.

What Are SKRs for Global Mining Assets?

A Safekeeping Receipt (SKR) is a financial document that certifies that a specific asset is held in custody on behalf of a client. In the context of mining, an SKR certifies ownership of a mine or mining rights, and can be used in:

• Loan collateralization

• Joint ventures and partnerships

• Investment negotiations

• Legal and regulatory validation

SKRs for global mining assets serve as trusted proof for international investors, financial institutions, and legal entities. However, issuing SKRs for mines is complex — requiring not just verification of ownership, but also detailed evaluation of the mine’s worth, licenses, and location.

Benefits of SKRs for Mining Companies and Investors

Mining companies can leverage mine safekeeping receipts for many financial and operational advantages:

✅ Access to Capital

Use your mining SKR as collateral for bank loans, private equity deals, or joint venture partnerships.

✅ Investor Confidence

An SKR assures investors that the asset has been verified and is securely documented — making your mining venture more attractive.

✅ Simplified International Deals

When dealing with foreign governments or corporations, an internationally recognized SKR streamlines negotiations and reduces paperwork burdens.

✅ Asset Protection

SKRs provide legal proof of ownership, which is vital in jurisdictions with volatile regulations or land rights issues.
