Phoenix Precious Metals DMCC (PPM) was formed in 2015 by Yacoub Sidya, a veteran within the precious minerals industry. PPM acts as a holding company for multiple organisations which he has founded around the world. Headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, PPM has grown into one of the leading gold security, trading, exploration and extraction companies in the region.
Having commenced as a security provider to the gold industry in 2005, MSS Security has grown to become the leading provider of specialist high value security and transport services and is now in West Africa, the largest subcontractor to Brinks as well as the largest transporter of gold to Metalor.
A logical transition was made into gold trading and subsequently gold exploration under the Phoenix Precious Metals brand. This is a refl ection of their core values of integrity and trust demonstrated by a client base spanning from Central Banks and Blue Chip Companies to Major Multinational Charities.

Hedge against money printing policies
Safe haven in times of geopolitical, economic and fi nancial turmoil
Limited supply. Increasing demand
Hedge against infl ation and defl ation
Portfolio diversifi cation & protection
Store of value
Commonly known as a store of wealth, a hedge in times of economic uncertainty and what was at one time the pillar of our monetary system. Gold is generally viewed as one of the most secure and safe assets one can hold. This is demonstrated by its use amongst fi nancial professionals, banks, governments and institutions as a hedge within their portfolios.
Previously unavailable to off takers, PPM has brought forward a unique and simple way to take advantage of the what the gold market has to off er.
Physical Gold
Why Hold Physical Gold
Central Bank Gold Demand On The RiseCentral Banks globally are stockpiling physical gold as a hedge against economic uncertainty and volatility within traditional asset classes. With many of the worlds top analysts predicting a forthcoming economic correction, Central Banks are on a gold buying spree demonstrated by the fact that they have nearly doubled their holdings within the last 12 months.
A case for purchasing and holding gold over the coming years has clearly been made, the way to hold that gold has been made more transparent, safer and potentially far more rewarding by PPM’s 24 Month Discounted Gold Off take.

PPM DMCC is proud to off er a unique Discounted Gold Off take (DGO) opportunity.
At PPM we are fi nance and gold experts. We have created an off take centred around the purchase of physical gold. The DGO allows you to maximise your purchase by taking advantage of gold price increases. Upside potential is not only attached to your initial purchase (as with traditional gold purchasing) but also to your monthly return, hence the discount.
The PPM DGO can also be seen as a bonus, production share or production return. The return is of 1 Oz. of physical 99.99% 24KT gold per month for the off take period on every 100,000 USD off take purchased.
One of our experts would be happy to explain in more detail.

Transparency And SimplicityAt PPM we believe in transparency and simplicity. Gold does not cost the quoted market price to extract from the ground. PPM have an extraction cost of 496 USD per Oz. all inclusive.
This allows us to pay you in physical gold which is valued by the LBMA gold price. This in turn creates an opportunity for you as an off taker and a cost of capital arbitrage for PPM as a company. In essence, this allows off takers to receive a potential uplift on their purchase. This methodology also allows PPM a signifi cant cost reduction in comparison to traditional routes of fi nancing.
Our transaction is simple with security measures in place to protect your purchase.

The DGO. An Attractive Proposition For PPM And Our Off takers The DGO allows PPM a cost eff ective source of capital. PPM are passing on a portion of the arbitrage gain from our cost of mining each Oz. of gold and the market price. Simply put, PPM receives capital from off takers today and in return for the prepayment of the gold, PPM will pay off takers an additional 1 Oz. of gold per month, per 100,000 USD. Off takers receive more gold for their dollars and PPM receive capital to expand our mining operations today.
Below is an example at an entry gold price of 1500 USD/Oz. The transaction creates value for our off takers and reduces our costs. In short it is a simple ”win/win” scenario
