HGFS Metals was established in 2006 to address regulatory changes in Nevada's mining industry. It has since expanded to other states and provides extraction, refining, equipment sales, and other services to small mines. The company's refining process begins with receiving raw materials from mines and uses mechanical and chemical processes to separate gold from other materials until ultra-pure gold bars are produced. HGFS also offers individuals the ability to purchase gold directly through its MINERAL-AIRES program.
