Bulk Commodities
High-volume ores and base metals that form the foundation of global industry. These commodities—such as iron ore, copper, bauxite, manganese, and chrome ore—are traded at scale and power steel production, construction, and infrastructure development worldwide.
-
Copper cathodes & concentrates from DRC and Zambia
Use: Power grids, construction, electronics.
-
Chrome ore from South Africa and Zimbabwe
Use: Ferrochrome, stainless steel.
Forms: Lumpy, concentrate. -
High-grade Mn from South Africa and Ghana
Use: Steel and battery precursor feedstock.
-
DRC, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea (grades and specs on request)
Use: Steelmaking, infrastructure.
Critical & Energy Transition Metals
Strategic minerals that underpin modern technology, electrification, and the global energy transition. Metals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, tantalum, tungsten, and other specialty materials are essential inputs for batteries, advanced electronics, aerospace systems, and high-performance manufacturing. As demand for renewable energy infrastructure and electric mobility accelerates, these metals have become increasingly important to global industrial and technology supply chains.
