Lithium Market Overview

Driven by strong investments in China, the buyer's market has seen a decline in lithium prices while production continues to grow. Increasing supply from South America and Africa requires trustworthy supervision.

Supporting Evolving Trade Flows

South America's lithium reserves are attracting global investment, and the region is upgrading its supply chain to support lithium growth. With a strategic presence across the region and trusted on-the-ground expertise, smooth mine-to-port trade flows are achieved.

Injecting Confidence into African Lithium Trade

Africa has the potential to become a major lithium supplier.

Risks in Cross-Border Trade: Inconsistent Sampling, Unreliable Data, and Delays

Providing trusted independent supervision instills confidence in the entire process from mine to market.

Uncertainty at the source can lead to significant challenges at the destination.

The company is independent, experienced, and conducts field trips, with a global business scope, local knowledge, and cultural expertise, offering independent experience and analytical capabilities, trusted by buyers and producers alike.

Supporting You Throughout the Lithium Trade Journey:

Using internationally recognized methods for pre-shipment sampling and analysis; export supervision to maintain contract compliance; shipment port inspection and complete documentation.

In China, the company's services include unloading sampling and analysis, as well as providing independent reports to support smooth final settlements.

Proven Methods, Trusted Experience

Our operations span South America and Africa, laying a solid foundation for other battery metal supply chains.

We leverage this footprint to deploy local expertise and offer the following services:

Controlled chain of custody; accurate weight determination; strict sampling and preparation protocols

Ensuring lithium integrity through established metal supply practices.
