Minor and critical metals
Antimony, cobalt, tungsten, molybdenum, bismuth and other specialist metals, where verified supply and clean paperwork matter most.
Overview
Minor and critical metals trade in smaller volumes than base metals, through fewer and more specialised channels. Many are subject to export licensing in their country of origin, and buyers increasingly need documented origin and chain of custody.
We check that the seller holds, or can obtain, the export licence needed, and that the buyer can provide an end-user certificate where required, before a deal moves forward.
What we cover
Not listed? If it is traded physically, send us the specification and we will source it.
Products
AntimonyAntimony ingots and trioxide from verified producers and European warehouse stock, with export compliance checks on every deal.View

Bismuth ingots and needlesBismuth metal of 99.99% minimum in ingots and needles, for alloy, pharmaceutical and chemical buyers.ViewHow we work
- We confirm a real seller, with a specification and a price, before we offer anything to a buyer
- Sellers are verified: registry, tax, directors, title and bank reference
- Independent inspection by SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek or an equivalent accredited surveyor before any letter of credit is opened
- Prices and counterparties are never shared without approval
Frequently asked questions
Are these metals subject to export controls?
Several are, depending on the country of origin. We confirm the export licence position and any end-user certificate requirement before a deal proceeds.
Can you source a metal not listed here?
Yes. Send us the specification, volume and delivery terms and we will source against your requirement from producers we have checked.
How is quality confirmed?
By certificate of analysis from the producer and independent assay by an accredited laboratory or surveyor, as agreed in the contract.
