CPG

CPG: frequently asked questions

What is CPG and where are its gold bars refined?

CPG is an Australian precious metals refinery producing gold bullion bars. Its bars are refined in Australia and are stamped with the refinery's name, weight, and purity. CPG bars are sold through a range of bullion dealers.

What purity are CPG gold bars, and are they cast or minted?

CPG produces cast gold bars. Cast bars are poured from molten metal into moulds rather than struck from a blank, giving them a characteristic rougher surface compared to minted bars. Investment-grade gold bars from reputable refineries are typically refined to 999.9 fineness (99.99% pure gold), though you should confirm the specification for each listing.

What is the difference between a cast and a minted gold bar?

Cast bars are made by pouring molten gold into a mould and letting it solidify, producing a simpler, often less uniform appearance. Minted bars are precision-struck from rolled gold blanks, giving sharper edges and a polished finish. Cast bars typically carry a slightly lower premium over spot than minted bars of the same weight because the production process is less labour-intensive.
