Supplier Guide
Clear cargo information helps us move procurement discussions forward.
We welcome supply proposals from mines, processing plants, smelters, metal manufacturers, recyclers and trading companies. Share the basic details of your material so we can assess its fit with our buying requirements, then discuss inspection, pricing and delivery terms.

Cargo Verification & Testing
Following an initial review, we may request information on the supplying entity, material origin, ownership or authority to sell, and how the photos and reports relate to the offered lot.
Where needed, we will discuss site verification, sampling, sample sealing and testing. Before proceeding with a transaction, both parties should agree on the lot represented by the samples, the testing laboratory, testing costs and how differences in results will be handled. Existing assays may support an initial assessment; the final quality and settlement basis must be agreed by both parties.
