Australia's Perth Mint on Tuesday said there is no question about the value and purity of gold bars it has sold to customers in China, responding to a media report alleging that it could face a potential recall of A$9 billion worth of"doped" gold bars.
The mint said, in September 2021, it was made aware that some of its 1kg bars may not have met the non-gold specifications of the Shanghai Gold Exchange - referring to the amount of components such as silver that make up 0.01 per cent of each gold bar, or 100 parts per million . "We have acknowledged there have been shortcomings in the past that led to some non-compliance with relevant laws," the mint said in a statement, adding that it had since undertaken measures including a review of refining practices.
