Copper

Copper (Cu) is one of the globe’s most traded mineral commodities. With the move towards an electrified environment, the most common use for metal copper is now electric wiring. This requires a purity level of 99.99%, London Metal Exchange (LME) Grade A, as per international standards (ASTM, BS, EN, etc.). Achieving this level of purity requires copper ore to pass through a long and complex transformation chain.

We offer a comprehensive range of services covering the complete transformation chain – from mineral ore to final copper cathodes. Our teams operate in ports, warehouses, production mines and plants to certify the level of Cu in your copper compound. Whether you are dealing with ores, concentrate, matte, blisters, anodes or cathodes, we have the right solution for your quality and quantity certification needs.

Our global team has the expertise to help you identify the correct WSMD (weight, sampling, moisture, determination) procedure to help you minimize risks, while our London Metal Exchange (LME) registered trade laboratories in The Netherlands and China support you with the full range of testing services.
