And so your Novanou journey begins
Implementing a precious metals refinery requires careful planning, investment, and expertise in the field.
​Here are some general steps to consider when setting up a precious metals refinery
General Novanou Rules
Market Research
Start by researching the demand for refined gold or/and other precious in your target market, and identify potential customers. Understanding the competition, pricing, and regulatory environment is important.
​
Secure Funding
Setting up a refinery requires significant investment, including equipment, staff, and facility costs. You'll need to secure funding from investors or lenders to cover these costs.
Choose a Location
Select a location that is accessible but safe and convenient for transportation and logistics. You'll need a facility that is equipped with the right equipment and safety features for refining.
Obtaining Licenses and Permits
To operate a precious metals refinery, you must obtain the necessary licenses and permits from local and national regulatory bodies. These may include environmental permits, business licenses, and safety certifications.
​
And then we step in
The first step we take is to understand your needs and goals. This involves active listening and asking questions to thoroughly understand what you want to achieve. We will work collaboratively to develop a plan to achieve those goals. This means brainstorming ideas, proposing solutions, and working together to refine the plan.
It's all about the plan!

At Novanou we breathe Autocad
While designing a building for a specific plot one must conduct a thorough analysis of the site. This includes assessing the topography, orientation, views, and surrounding environment.
As the project progresses, your needs may change or new challenges may arise. Effective communication is key thus we keep you informed throughout the project, providing regular updates and seeking feedback to ensure that your needs are being met.
​
What's a kitchen without a cook?
Choosing the right equipment is the only standard we believe in.
European Union regulations and standards are generally very strict, particularly when it comes to health and safety.
This means that products produced in Europe must meet certain requirements and undergo rigorous testing, which can contribute to their perceived higher quality.
At Novanou we prioritize sustainability and ethical production practices, which can lead to products that are not only of high quality but also produced in a responsible and environmentally friendly manner.
Once agreed on the design and set up, the installation of the necessary equipment for refining gold, including smelting furnaces, refining equipment, and safety features such as ventilation systems and fire suppression systems will take place.
We'll guide you all along as there is a serious gap between what you might need and what salesmen will try to sell you
​
Refining is a dirty job but somebody got to do it!
We are more than happy to help you hire and train staff who have experience in refining gold.
You'll need a team of chemists, metallurgists, and operators to manage the refining process and ensure quality control.
Develop Standard Operating Procedures
Establish standard operating procedures for the refining process, including safety procedures, quality control measures, and record-keeping protocols.
Market Your Services
Develop a marketing strategy to promote your refining services to potential customers. Consider attending industry events, advertising in trade publications, and building relationships with key stakeholders in the industry.
