How a lotmoves.
Five stages, one owner of the process. We stay accountable for every lot from the moment it leaves the ground to the moment title passes to you.
- 01 · SOURCE
Partner vetting
Before any material moves, we confirm the site holds a valid mining licence, verify beneficial ownership, and audit labour, safety and environmental practice on the ground.
- Licence and permit verification
- Beneficial ownership and KYC checks
- On-site audit report
- 02 · ASSAY
Independent assay
Samples are sealed at the site and sent to independent laboratories. Results are tied to the lot number, so grade and origin are never separated.
- Sealed, witnessed sampling
- Certificate of analysis per lot
- Umpire assay on request
- 03 · REFINE
Accredited refining
Material is processed by accredited refiners to market grade: doré to 999.9 bar, concentrate to cathode, ore to battery-grade product.
- Refiner selected per asset
- Weight and grade reconciliation
- Refiner certificate
- 04 · MOVE
Export and logistics
We handle export permits, customs and royalties at origin, and move material under insured, sealed transport with a documented chain of custody.
- Export permits and royalties settled
- Insured, sealed freight
- Signed custody at every handover
- 05 · SETTLE
Settlement and title
Material is delivered into allocated vaulting or to your port. Title transfers against documents, and the full lot file is handed over with it.
- Allocated vault receipt or bill of lading
- Title transfer against payment
- Complete lot file delivered
