How to Purchase the Namibian Rhino Gold Bar

To celebrate the launch of the Namibian Rhino Gold Bar campaign in North America, 400 one-ounce gold bars will go on sale on Kitco Metals Inc.’s (“Kitco”) retail website on July 31.

Kitco has generously agreed to process the sales transactions of the gold bars (on behalf of B2Gold) at cost to further benefit black rhino conservation efforts in Namibia and local communities whose livelihoods are depend on the survival of the species.

Proceeds from the sale of the gold bars are managed by the Rhino Gold Bar Advisory Committee (“the Committee”) which includes representatives from Save the Rhino Trust Namibia (“SRT”), Integrated Rural Development and Nature Conservation, Rhino Rangers, the Namibia Chamber of Environment, and the Namibia Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism. A portion of the proceeds will provide long-term sustainable financing for black rhino conservation, while significant funding will be applied immediately to conservation actions in the field, including supporting ranger patrols and intelligence activities, and supporting rural communities for whom the protection of rhinos is their birthright.

$1,703.90 +15%*

Gold Spot Price / OZ

+15%*

*The cost of the B2Gold Rhino Gold Bars is pegged to the spot price of gold on the date of sale, plus a 15% conservation premium.

The 15% premium is a way to extend the positive impact of each gold bar sold in support of rangers, trackers and black rhino conservation. It will be used to fund the future production of more gold bars, or gold medallions, the second limited edition of which will be distinctly different from the first mintage, ensuring that this initiative remains self-sustaining.
