Product Overview
Copper ore and concentrate are the primary feed for copper smelting and refining. We supply oxide and sulphide ore as well as concentrate, with copper content agreed and verified by independent assay. Material is sampled, weighed and prepared to the buyer’s grade, moisture and size requirements, giving smelters a dependable feed.
We work with buyers on grade, tonnage and Incoterms, and can arrange SGS sampling and umpire assay to protect both parties.

Ore and concentrate are shipped in bulk or in one-tonne big bags depending on grade and logistics, with sampling and weighing at loading. Net weights are confirmed on the proforma invoice and loading is supervised.
Quality & Compliance
Each consignment is sampled and assayed by SGS or an agreed independent inspector, with grade and moisture confirmed before shipment. Certificate of origin and full export documentation accompany every load.
Export Markets
We export copper ore and concentrate to smelters and traders in Asia, the UAE 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 Ore or a structured long-term contract, we build pricing, payment and delivery terms around your operation.
