What we trade
Industrial minerals and critical raw materials
Two books, one discipline — and a grade that is never a matter of opinion.
What we trade
Industrial minerals and critical raw materials
Two books, one discipline. Industrial minerals move in volume and pay for the machine. Critical and strategic metals are where Europe is short, where the value is, and where verified origin is worth more than price.
01 — Industrial minerals & aggregates
Limestone & dolomite
Cement, lime, steel flux, ground calcium carbonate; dolomite for refractories and the magnesium chain.
Silica & quartz sand
Glass, foundry, ceramics; premium grades subject to qualification.
Bentonite
Drilling fluids, foundry binders, pelletizing, environmental applications.
Salt — rock salt
De-icing, chemical industry, water treatment — from some of Europe's largest deposits.
Other industrial minerals
Zeolites, diatomite, kaolin, feldspar, baryte, perlite and other specialty materials.
02 — Critical & strategic metals
Copper & base-metal concentrates
Copper, lead, zinc concentrates and polymetallic ores. Benchmark-priced, full assay discipline, umpire procedure as standard.
Rare earth elements
Monazite, bastnäsite and mixed rare earth concentrates. Romania holds recognised occurrences and Europe holds almost no separation capacity — that gap is the opportunity.
Graphite
Refractory grades today; battery-chain qualification as European production restarts.
Titanium & zirconium minerals
Ilmenite, rutile, zircon sands. Pigments, foundry, and the aerospace and defence alloy chain.
Tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium
Concentrates and intermediates for tool steels, hard alloys, catalysts and high-strength applications.
Antimony, bismuth, manganese
Flame retardants, alloying, batteries and steelmaking. Thin supply chains where a verified source has real bargaining power.
Secondary sources
Tailings reprocessing, slags, metal-bearing residues and scrap where the assay and the title stand up.
These materials serve construction, steel, chemicals, glass, energy, electronics, aerospace and defence supply chains. Every cross-border movement is executed under the applicable export-control, customs and sanctions regime of the countries involved; where a material or a destination requires an authorisation, we do not move it without one. We do not manufacture, broker or trade weapons, munitions or military equipment.
Grade before price
A material is what the assay says it is
Every lot we offer is traceable to a sampling protocol, an accredited laboratory and a retained umpire sample. Where a producer has never had its material properly logged and assayed, that is the first work we do — and it is often where the value turns out to be.
Grade decides the market. The market decides the price. Neither is a matter of opinion.
