Istanbul Gold Refinery (IGR) is a Turkish precious metals refiner established in 1996 that has grown into a significant player in the global gold and silver market. The refinery holds LBMA Good Delivery accreditation and processes a variety of raw materials — from scrap gold and jewelry to mining output — refining them to investment-grade purity. IGR produces gold and silver bars in sizes ranging from 1 gram to 1 kilogram.
For U.S. bullion buyers, IGR gold bars in tamper-evident assay packaging offer LBMA-accredited quality at premiums that are often competitive with more established European and North American brands. The serial-numbered bars with assay certificates provide straightforward authentication and are accepted by most major dealers for buyback.
