Metals › Copper Cathode

Product Overview

Copper cathode is the refined form of copper used as the primary raw material for copper rod, wire, tube and alloy production. Our cathodes are electro-refined to a minimum 99.99% copper (Cu-CATH-1), conforming to LME Grade A and ASTM B115, with low levels of sulphur, oxygen and trace metals. Consistent sheet quality ensures clean melting and casting.

We supply cathodes from the Central African copper belt with assay certificates, and can arrange SGS or CIQ inspection to a buyer’s requirement.

Applications

Copper cathode is melted and cast into wire rod, billets and ingots for electrical conductors, cables, transformers and motors, and into tube, sheet and alloys for construction, plumbing, electronics and industry.

Packaging & Loading

Cathodes are bundled, strapped and secured on pallets or in containers for safe transport, typically around 2 – 2.5 MT per bundle. Net weights and bundle counts are confirmed on the proforma invoice and loading is supervised.

Quality & Compliance

Every lot is supplied with a producer assay certificate confirming 99.99% purity, and independent SGS or CIQ inspection can be arranged. Certificate of origin and full export documentation accompany each shipment.

Export Markets

We export copper cathode to wire mills, manufacturers and traders in Asia, the UAE, Europe and beyond through Dar es Salaam and Mombasa, handling trial and contract volumes.

Verification & Assurance

Buyers of refined metals and ores work on fine margins, so verified quality and honest documentation are non-negotiable. Every consignment is sampled and assayed, with grade, moisture and weight confirmed by an agreed independent inspector before shipment. This gives both sides a clear, defensible record and removes the disputes that can derail international metal trades.

Our sourcing runs through established channels in the Central African copper belt and partner regions, so supply stays dependable even when the market tightens. We prepare each lot to the buyer’s contract specification and secure it correctly for transport to protect value in transit.

Logistics & Long-Term Partnership

From assay to loading, our team coordinates shipment through Dar es Salaam and Mombasa and keeps you updated at every milestone. Whether you need a trial lot of Copper Cathode or a structured long-term contract, we build pricing, payment and delivery terms around your operation.
