CoreServices
Comprehensive solutions for the mineral trading lifecycle, ensuring reliability from source to shipment.
We manage every stage of the mineral supply chain — from initial sourcing and quality verification through logistics coordination and final delivery. Our clients benefit from a single, accountable partner throughout the entire process.
Mineral Sourcing & Offtake
Strategic partnerships with reputable mines to secure consistent supply through reliable offtake agreements.
We maintain long-term relationships with mining operations across Indonesia, securing offtake agreements that guarantee volume, grade consistency, and competitive pricing. Our sourcing team continuously evaluates new opportunities to expand our mineral portfolio.
- Long-term offtake agreements with vetted mine operators
- Multi-commodity sourcing: Nickel, Bauxite, Silica Sand, Iron Ore
- Regular site visits and operational audits
- Competitive pricing through aggregated demand
Quality Assurance
Rigorous on-site sampling and independent laboratory analysis at every stage.
Quality is non-negotiable. We implement a multi-layer QA process that begins at the mine site and continues through to loading, ensuring every shipment meets the exact chemical and physical specifications agreed with our buyers.
- On-site sampling by certified surveyors
- Independent internationally-recognized laboratory testing
- Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for every shipment
- Grade verification against contract specifications
Logistics Management
End-to-end logistics from mine gate to mother vessel, coordinated with precision.
Managing the movement of bulk minerals across the Indonesian archipelago requires deep expertise and strong local networks. Our logistics team handles every link in the chain — trucking from mine to stockpile, barging to transshipment points, and loading onto ocean-going vessels.
- Mine-to-port trucking and stockpile management
- Barging and river/ocean transshipment coordination
- Mother vessel loading supervision
- Real-time shipment tracking and status reporting
Regulatory Compliance
Full compliance with Indonesian mining regulations and international trade requirements.
Indonesian mining and export regulations are complex and frequently updated. Our dedicated compliance team ensures that every shipment meets all regulatory requirements, from mining permits and export licenses to surveyor appointments and customs clearance.
- Export permit (SPB, NPE, EKC) management
- Surveyor report coordination (Sucofindo/Inspectorate)
- Customs documentation and clearance processing
- Ongoing regulatory monitoring and advisory
Contract & Risk Management
Robust contracts and proactive risk mitigation across every transaction.
We draft clear, comprehensive sales contracts that protect all parties — covering payment terms, force majeure, quality tolerances, and delivery schedules. Our risk management framework addresses market volatility, operational hazards, and regulatory changes before they become issues.
- Standardized yet flexible contract frameworks
- Market price hedging strategies
- Force majeure and dispute resolution provisions
- Insurance coordination for cargo and liability

Our Trading Process
A structured, transparent approach that ensures every transaction is handled with precision — from initial inquiry to final delivery at destination port.
Inquiry & Scoping
We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your specific mineral requirements — grade, volume, delivery timeline, and destination port. Our team provides an initial assessment and indicative pricing.
Source Identification
Our sourcing team identifies the best-matched mining partners from our vetted network, evaluating current stockpile availability, grade quality, and logistics feasibility for your order.
Sampling & Quality Verification
Independent surveyors conduct on-site sampling at the mine or stockpile. Samples are tested at internationally-recognized laboratories to produce a Certificate of Analysis (CoA).
Contract Execution
A comprehensive sales contract is drafted covering specifications, pricing, payment terms, delivery schedule, and all regulatory requirements. Both parties review and execute the agreement.
Logistics & Shipment
We coordinate the complete logistics chain — trucking from mine to port, stockpile management, barging to transshipment points, and loading onto the mother vessel for ocean freight.
Delivery & Post-Shipment
Full documentation package is provided upon loading. We track the vessel to destination and remain available for any post-shipment support, quality claims, or follow-up orders.
