Commodity Desk

Source-to-source origination across metals, distillates and fertilisers.

THE THESIS

The Commodity Desk is the group’s physical trading operation. It originates primary and refined non-ferrous, ferrous, EV and precious metals, distillates and selected agricultural fertilisers from mining companies, refineries, energy companies and producers — and places them with vetted intermediary and end-user off-takers. The desk enables source-to-source intermediation only, with no chains of middlemen, and can arrange trade and mining finance alongside the physical flow.

Six product verticals — originated from producers, placed with vetted off-takers.

Metal ores & concentrates
Ores, ferro-alloys and concentrates from emerging and established suppliers — vetted, pre-negotiated to buyer specification.
Refined metals
Hard-to-source refined metal from smelters diversifying their off-take, with onboarding to LME-registered, LBMA and LPPM approved refineries.
Precious & EV metals
Gold and the strategic metals behind electrification — copper, lithium, nickel, cobalt.
Scrap metals
Ferrous — PNS, HMS 1 & 2, shred; non-ferrous — brass, aluminium, copper grades, Zorba & Twitch. Ex-works or CFR, with advice on quality, testing and freight.
Distillates & crudes
Jet A-1 and JP54, EN590 10ppm, D2, D6 and Mazut — serving airlines, airports and national buyers on FOB Rotterdam and CIF terms.
Agricultural fertilisers
Premium rock phosphates, urea and DAP from national producers in the Middle East, facilitated to strategic buyers.
