Trading

Our trading team is based in Dallas. It sells the concentrates and refined products from our own mine and refinery, and buys traceable material from other licensed producers. We trade tantalum, niobium, tin, tungsten and lithium. We deliver every lot with its record of origin and custody from the mine to the delivery point.

What our buyers can expect

• Every lot can be traced to the mine it came from. The chain of custody is approved by the regulator, witnessed at each hand-over and recorded in Original Evidence.
• Our own laboratory samples and certifies every lot before it ships. If a result is disputed, a retained sample goes to an independent umpire laboratory.
• The buyer may appoint an independent inspection company to witness weighing, sampling and loading.
• Cargo is insured from our door to the agreed delivery point, on the terms of each contract.
• We deliver to the delivery point and on the Incoterms agreed with the buyer.
• Supply comes from our own mine and refinery, and we offer term agreements to buyers who need continuity.
• We deal only with approved counterparties, and we screen every sale for sanctions and export controls.

Selling to us

We buy concentrate from licensed producers. In our region we collect it ourselves, under the same witnessed chain of custody. Our laboratory grades every lot and shows the supplier the result.
