The quiet link betweenthe mine and the market.
Buyers need certainty about what they hold. Producers need a partner who can take their material to market properly. We exist to be that partner.
International Minerals LLC sources, refines and trades high-purity gold, silver, copper and battery minerals. Our trading coordination runs from Bethesda, Maryland. Our sourcing runs on the ground in East Africa, alongside the operators we work with.
We are deliberately not a miner. We sit between extraction and the institutions that buy, and we take responsibility for everything in that gap: verification, assay, refining, logistics and title.
Built one relationship at a time.
- Origins
A trading desk opens
International Minerals begins as a precious metals trading operation serving institutional buyers.
- 1990s
Sourcing moves to the ground
We build direct relationships with licensed operators in East Africa, replacing intermediaries with partners.
- 2010s
Refining and vaulting
Accredited refiner partnerships and sovereign-grade vaulting become part of every gold allocation.
- Today
Minerals for the transition
Copper and battery minerals join the portfolio, with the same traceability buyers expect from our gold.
What we hold to.
- Origin is not optional
- If we cannot show you where it came from, we do not sell it. Every lot carries its mine of origin and its paperwork.
- Discretion by default
- Our clients include banks, funds and sovereign buyers. We treat every allocation, counterparty and volume as confidential.
- Long horizons
- We would rather keep a partner for twenty years than win one trade. Most of our relationships run for many years.
- Value stays at origin
- Royalties paid, communities consulted, land restored. A mineral is only high-purity if the way it was produced is too.
