Services

Where we add value

Focused support across commodity supply chains, with particular depth in metals, minerals and mineral concentrates: the points where quality, cost and commercial terms are decided.

Risk mitigation & operational reviews

Independent reviews of sites and processes that identify cost, quality and custody risks, so commodities stay secure across the supply chain, with practical improvements set out for each.

Concentrate blend design & logistics

Designing the blend: the flow of multi-origin material needed to meet smelter specifications and penalty limits, with the logistics to deliver it.

Inspection & sampling

Review of sampling procedures, inspection and assay results, and support on quality disputes and assay exchanges.

LME & bulk warehousing

Setting up and improving warehouse and terminal operations for metals and concentrates: storage, handling, stock control and compliance.
