I know cooksons do 18ct but do you know of anywhere I can source 9ct White gold Fairtrade bullion? Or even recycled, they don't seem to do the Eco gold in 9 white either

I have no knowledge of Fairtrade golds, but I think you may find it hard to obtain official 9ct. Fairtrade gold as the rest of the world does not use the 9ct alloy. Some suppliers make 9ct. white by alloying 37.5% of fine gold with 62% silver but the general 9ct. white alloy is 37.5% fine gold + 34% Copper +10.8% Zinc + 17.7% Nickel, so I would assume that to call it Fairtrade all of the metals used would have to be Fair mined.

You could ring around some of the casters. Maybe one of them could advise.
I know Weston Beamor cast in Fairtrade 18ct White.
Vipa Designs will do on request. http://www.vipadesigns.co.uk/vipa/index.asp
Also these guys use eco Gold: http://www.quality-castings.co.uk/special-metals.php
